Goodbye to a great summer, hello to (I hope) an even better fall!

Merry Mabon, Happy Autumn Equinox, Blessed Sukkoth, and a bounteous Harvest Full Moon to you!

Facebook seems to be down. Hmm. I tried entering hashtags on Twitter to see if it was just me, and obviously it’s not–but most of the tweets that came up were in Spanish! And I could read them all, demonstrating that my Spanish remains good enough to read tweets, at least. I wish my Welsh did–I seriously need to reclaim those skills, I’ve just been lazy. Plus, I need to learn French…well, more than I know now. I can read tweets in French, too, but that’s about it.

Wow, that was a ramble…probably because I’m hungry. I’m fasting until ritual tonight (Equinox turns at 10:57 p.m. local time, 11:09 p.m. EDT). This will probably make it inadvisable for me to do much online, heh. (*SNARL*…what? what?) But I have tons to do–and I’ve already gotten so much accomplished the last few days!

I approved the proofs for the Lightning Source editions of Blood Justice and the short runs have been ordered and are on the way. The Kindle edition is ready to go live. The BLUM Annex edition on Lulu.com is already live, so if you’d really, really like to get a paperback or PDF copy of Blood Justice right now (you do! Yes, you do! You just don’t know it yet!) you can order it here. I have a bonus offer for postcards from Tu-Vets so a batch of promotional postcards is next, I’ll be ordering those today.

The edits are back for Applewood so I should be announcing the release date pretty soon.

The BLUM party at Albacon will be Saturday night in the Con Suite from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Afterwards I’ll be participating in the erotic fiction reading (18+), which is not to be missed. You might want to bring a fan or a nice cold drink with you. And don’t miss my solo reading on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.!

I’ve finally started creating an online portfolio on DeviantArt. I’ve uploaded the art for the last three book covers I’ve done, and I hope to be building a comprehensive gallery there. If you want to check it out so far, I’m at http://vyrdolak.deviantart.com/.

By Light Unseen Media is now listed on Preditors & Editors! It’s taken four years to get on there, but we’re listed! We exist! It’s just a neutral mention, neither “recommended” nor (and I hope, never will be) “not recommended.” But so many writers are referred to P&E to check out prospective markets, I just feel like not seeing us mentioned at all carries a negative message in and of itself. Now we’re there. We’re accepting queries! We’re just not reading them…no, seriously, I’m a bit backlogged and I apologize for the delay to all those whose queries are in my queue, and I will be getting back to you soon. I’m really ramping up the productivity levels!

Speaking of which, I’ve got ritual prep and lots more to do and I need to keep busy, so I won’t think about how hungry I am. Hope everyone is having a good day!
