Because books.

Very good news, Deb! Spend some of that $132 on something fun.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I just bought two big fat juicy steaks with it, and fresh asparagus.

I have reason to think the next royalty cheque - sometime in April or May - will be for just around $700. That's a nicer number.

But honestly, I'm just pleased as hell, and hopeful this is a yes on the path of getting them to buy the next three.

That's the ticket indeed. Fingers crossed for you. Did I tell you I asked the librarian at our local branch to order Famous Flower? And I'm putting a plug for it (and the series as a whole) on my web site, under Books I Love. (That sounds pompous, doesn't it -- I'm not sure anyone but my mom and my husband will actually visit the web site, but if someone else does...!)

Whoa.

I was so excited by the royalty cheque, I never looked at the rest of my mail. There's a note from Hannah Storm at the Early Show in there - I'd sent her both books as a thank-you.

Amy, you rock (I was off cooking and laundrying). ANd Sumi, thanks!

The BBC just gave out their Best Folk Awards for 2005. Best Folk Recording went to Martin Carthy, best song? Famous Flower of Serving Men.

I want a UK deal, damn it. WHAT a tie-in.

Ooh, yes -- a special gift set with a book and a cd.

Art Crawl!!!

Although, what I want is a cd with your favorite versions of the songs you've used or will use as book titles.
