The Plan, as amended

I had been going to put the Green Folder up at Ebay tomorrow.  That may still happen, but isn't the way the Smart Money bets, given the sudden infusion of an insurance adjuster and an interview into the works.  Thursday morning, for sure.  Watch this space for details and pointers.

From another corner of the internet comes news of The Geek Girl Project, which by itself is a very cool thing.  But even cooler, is that they've reviewed a Lee and Miller novel as a "Book for Writers."

This amuses me on several levels.  For one thing, we had many years ago been told to fear for our career, because we were "writers writers," and such always starved.  It's nice to see this coming around again on the guitar, and without the starving part.

The second amusing thing is?  That the book under review is Agent of Change.

From yet another corner of the internet, we have confirmation from Audible.com that they will be offering free listening samples of the first book in all four Sequences.  It's not live yet, but you'll want this page right around September 4.

And that, I believe, is all the news that's fit to print.

Everybody have a good evening.

Yeah, but can I get a ringtone? I mean, I think having my cell phone announce, "The man who was not Terrence O'Grady had come quietly" whenever someone calls would be great! Just imagine the effect in the middle of meetings and such.

I love that opening line

For me, it's right up there with "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."

I was a bit puzzled that the reviewer thought first chapter was so slow as to warrant a negative comment in an otherwise positive review.

Yay Green Folder! Very excited!

Good luck with the insurance adjuster, and sending continued good thoughts for Thorough Drying of Everything...

Hope the insurance company doesn't jerk you around and that they pony up promptly like a gent. I didn't notice that the first chapter of Agent of Change was slow. I started reading at page 1, there was this suction type noise, and the next thing I knew I had run out of pages to turn! I was so glad I took the gamble and bought the first three books in the arc -- that meant I had two moar to read while the rest of the books were on their way.
