The holiday is over, thank goodness!

I hope everyone who observes Easter or shares it with family had a great day! (Lent is over! 🙂 ) Everyone else, I hope your weekend was pleasant and peaceful. Easter was just another working day for me, except for having a chocolate bunny for breakfast, and I baked myself a nice mini-loaf of bread for supper:

It’s just regular everyday bread, though, nothing fancy like all those rich Easter breads.

We had beautiful weather all weekend, definable as, “we didn’t have two inches of rain both days.” Just kidding! It was just over 80 degrees on Saturday and just under 80 degrees on Sunday. The Nashua River dropped below flood stage, and Mass. Highway re-opened Rte. 119. “The damage [to the road] was not as great as anticipated,” the police website said–well, that’s good, and I’m sure there was great incentive to open the road before this morning’s commuter rush. It’s still closed up in Littleton where the culvert is being repaired, though.

Signs of spring: The laundry is hanging on the outside line today! For the first time since…well, I didn’t note it, but September, I think. It’s about 72 degrees, sun and clouds, breezy–everything might even be dry before I leave for Parish Committee meeting tonight. Other signs of spring: I’ve opened up the back windows, and I’m pining over the Mantis website. I think flood season is over. On to tornado season! 🙂

Krymsin Nocturnes got through Amazon’s vetting process and is “live” as a Kindle edition. It’s also been approved for Smashwords’ Premium Catalog and will go out with their next “shipments” to Sony, Apple, Barnes & Noble and Kobo. Lightning Source just shipped the proof copies of the hardcover and paperback editions I set up with them. Whew.

I’ve started blocking out the cover art for The Longer the Fall. I’ve renewed By Light Unseen Media’s ad on Facebook–if anyone sees it, do let me know! I tried it for a month in January and got no clicks at all, but it was pretty dull–I looked at it last night and thought, “what was I thinking??” I jazzed it up a little, not that Facebook gives you a lot of flexibility.

I’d still love to connect with someone, anyone, who has an iPad and can verify that BLUM’s titles are in the iBookstore. Is anybody out there an early adopter, or know someone who is?

Oh, and you can stop worrying: They caught the emu that was terrorizing Waltham. Assuming that was the only one. 🙂
