Almost there
Todd should have the final proof of my website to me today or tonight, I'll give it a quick once-over, then my updated website can go live. Hopefully tonight.
I'm almost finished with Chapter 2 of The Trouble With Demons and kind of have Chapter 3 already started. I planned to finish Chapter 2 last night, but once again something came up that I had to take care of. I went to see my eye doc yesterday for a checkup, and guess what? I got the big welcome to middle age -- bifocals. Oh yeah, big fun. Right. I went to my local Lenscrafters last night and the lenses have now been ordered (anti-glare lenses have to be special ordered) so I won't get my new glasses for another ten days (probably a little less). Hopefully. Meantime I'm making do with what I have.
I ordered two books last week and they came yesterday. I can't wait to start reading:
The Silver Spoon by Stacey Klemstein (the link to her site is to the right). I'll be one of the speakers on the SciFi, Fantasy panel along with with Stacey at the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Pittsburgh in April. The Silver Spoon is the first in her first sci-fi romance series featuring Zara Mitchell, a human, and Caelan, one of the aliens known as Observers--beautiful and manipulative aliens. Hmmm, kind of reminds me of my goblins. ; ) The first chapter or two are on her site. It's great. Pop over and give it a read.
The second book is Nelson: A Dream of Glory, 1758-1797 by John Sudgen. This book came very highly recommended by my friend, fencing coach and fellow military history buff, Wes Caudill. Wes isn't the only one who liked it; the critics are in absolute raptures over Sudgen's insight into Nelson's life and world. Apparently if you're going to read a book on Horatio Nelson, this one is THE BOOK to read. Wes told me it reads like a historical novel. This is good because I bought the paperback version and I still wouldn't want to drop this thing on my foot. It's a couple pounds worth of reading enjoyment.
And for my listening enjoyment, I ordered (and also received yesterday) the new Christmas CD by Josh Groban (magnificent baritone). The CD is "Noel." Go get it, if you can find it (it's been selling out). As usual, Josh's voice is breathtaking.

Hey Lisa,
Thanks for the mention! Hope you like The Silver Spoon. I just got the cover for the second book, and I'm so excited.
Will be adding your website to my links when I get back in there to put the new cover up. So excited to meet you in person at RT!
: ) Stacey
You're most welcome! When I find great books, I love to spread the word. : )
I can't wait to see your new cover; I should be getting the cover for Armed & Magical in the next few weeks.
