Monday with car chase and cookies
Monday, May 18th, 2026 07:48 pmBusiness first! KDP has helpfully removed The Fey Duology from "SF-First Contact," lest readers be "confused." Gee, thanks, KDP.
Also, as of two seconds ago, the Amazon pre-orders for The Fey Duology stands at 173, which means I need to start shouting.
Obligatory Shouting Starts Here: The Fey Duology, Dark Fantasy by Sharon Lee & Steve Miller is available for preorder now from Amazon, Apple, and Smashwords!
Parenthetical: If you preordered from Kobo, best look to see if your order's been canceled.
Baen will be releasing the ebook edition on June 1, which is the day that Amazon promises to release the paper edition.
Shouting ends here.
Thanks to everyone for your patience. I really did not expect this to be so hard.

So, having decided to do all my morning business across town, since I had to go to the Post Office, thereby avoiding the stolen car, the high speed chase down KMD, and all the rest of that, I wound up in Wal*mart. Second time this year. My excuse was that I wanted cheap flipflops/beach sandals/watershoes. Which I found. I also found a new sloped scratcher for the spot in my office dedicated to such things, because the triangular scratcher that Steve had bought for that space has had an enormous hole excavated in it, which Firefly has been protesting by using my rug as a scratcher.
While I was there, I bought cookies and cheese and bread, which takes care of the foodstuffs I absolutely need to get me through this week.
If I get really ambitious, I can fill out my ballot and drop it off at City Hall when I go out for the book club.
Well. Let's see what happens.
How's everybody doing this morning?

Note: I filled out my ballot and dropped it off at City Hall.
