Novella launch day! Meep!

The print version of my book 'Cog and The Steel Tower' is now available. The e-book version will be coming before too long and will be MUCH less expensive. If you are interested in buying the print version, shoot me an e-mail at my profile addy (or Facebook or whatever) and I'll give you a coupon code for a substantial discount.

So in the midst of dealing with my mom's health issues, I also have a fundraiser walk that I signed up for months ago suddenly staring me in the face. It's this coming Saturday, May 7, and I have really not managed my fundraising at all. I only pledged to try to raise $100 (though at $150 there's apparently a tote bag, I'm such a sucker for a tote bag), and so far all the people who have said they were going to donate haven't, so all I've raised is the extra $25 I kicked in myself.

So, if you happen to have a few dollars you can spare, and would like to sponsor me and support the San Diego Humane Society, here's a link to my page: [link]

Thank you for your support (and I don't just mean moolah)!

OMG, you guys rock so hard! I just checked my page and you so stepped up! It means a lot! Thank you so much!

Cog and the Steel Tower is now available on Kindle for $0.99 and it should be lendable.

If you read Cog and like it please consider leaving a review. I don't have the time or skill to put in a lot of promotion so everything helps.

I just wanted to thank you all again for your support on my fundraiser! I not only got to the tote bag, but the license plate frame! I'll probably even get to the Humane Society branded USB drive, more than I dared to hope for! :)

But seriously, it's a cause I believe in, and the emotional support and cheering section from you guys in the glowy box is a real bright spot at a difficult time.

Thank you!

A few of us (Suzi, Hil, JZ and I) signed up for GISHWHES again, which is happening July 30 to August 6 this year, and we are on a team with some great people we were paired up with last year.

Does anyone want to join us? [link]

A friend of mine (actually quite a few friends) is donating a 5k critique to the Con-Or-Bust auction if anyone here knows anyone out there who might be interested in supporting a fantastic cause. [link]

Ironically, it would be a kindness if those of you with Twitter could #renew12Monkeys @SyFy. It's Kristen's show, and any prodding to make up their minds would mean a whole lot. I'm grateful for any signal boosts you can provide.

I'm giving away 10 copies of my book Cog and the Steel Tower at Goodreads starting today.

Feel free to let other people know too :)

If there is any interest, I could also mail out a copy (or two) for Buffistas or Buffistas kids or anyone to read and then mail on to the next person.

If interested let me know in e-mail (profile addy) or Natter thread or Facebook or whatever.
