Sniff, sniff, cough, cough
Congratulate me, I finally caught the cold that's been making the rounds in our office. It hit me yesterday morning, and this morning (since I'm contagious until at least tomorrow), I thought I'd break the infection cycle and stay home. Since I'm the editor/proofreader at the ad agency where I work, I literally touch every job that comes through (we use job jackets). Since it's only three days until Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I thought my co-workers would appreciate me being considerate and keeping my sick self at home (my dogs are pretty thrilled, too). No one wants to be sick on Thanksgiving--all that food and not feeling well enough to eat it would suck big time.
If you didn't see Saturday's post, scroll down and take a look. A too cute pic of Derek and Lucy, our Jack Russell Terrier. And I think I'm going to start posting regularly on Saturday's as well, but with a twist. I'll post a fun picture. While Derek and I were unpacking the last of our boxes from our move 8 months ago (yeah, we're on top of things), I found my Glamour Shots from the year Derek and I got married. I think ya'll would get a kick out of them, so I'll have Derek scan a couple of them in and post them this Saturday.
Update on The Trouble With Demons: I started Chapter 10 on Saturday evening (life got in the way of writing during the day). Yesterday, I got halfway through the chapter (and discovered yet more cool things about Tam and Mychael that I didn't know before). I'm also introducing a new character, she's a professor in the Conclave college's demonology department. At least she was a professor, now she's the head of the department (the former/late department chairman was killed by a demon at the end of Chapter 1). She's a very cool and tough and funny lady. I haven't decided on her name yet; it'll have to be just right. Between naps, I'm going to try to finish Chapter 10 today.
And if you're interested in finding out more about the hard-working and fabulous editorial staff at Ace Books, they're running a blog where each editor tells a little about themselves.
http://us.penguingroup.com/static/html/blogs/index.php Friday's entry has Cameron Dufty, my editor's awesome and amazing editorial assistant. If I need it, Cam gets it done. Then scroll down to Thursday to meet my editor Anne Sowards, who I think coined the phrase that I hear from so many of you: "More Tam!" ; ) I am blessed beyond belief to have Anne as my editor. She is simply the best.
I'm off to make myself some hot tea and get some writing done.

I feel your pain. I just kicked that bug out of my system myself. Get well soon!
Yep, there's a nasty cold going around. Thank you for the well wishes! I'm back in the office today, and feeling . . .uh, I'm back in the office today. I'm upright in my office chair for the time being, but it's early yet. ; )
