Assorted cool stuff

Derek and I will be leaving tomorrow morning to drive to my dad's to have Christmas with my side of the family. But I will blog before I leave, and there will be a Saturday Fun Pic as usual. Hotels with wireless Internet -- it's a beautiful thing. I just won't be online during the day tomorrow.

But (drum roll), as a special Friday treat, I'm going to post the first page of Chapter 12 of The Trouble With Demons. I think you'll like it. ; )

And the writing of TTWD is back on schedule. I'm working on Chapter 13, the chapter where Archmagus Justinius Valerian puts in his first appearance in this book. If you've read the Armed & Magical sample chapters on the "BOOKS" page, you know all about Justinius.

And speaking of Armed & Magical -- as of yesterday, it is available for pre-order on Amazon! Yea! (The link takes you to A&M's Amazon page. No cover pic yet, but that should come within the next few days.)

What I'm reading: The Bible (I'm up to the book of John). And I finally got to Barnes & Noble night before last and bought Linnea Sinclair's latest The Down Home Zombie Blues. I am loving this book!

And I have to brag on my magnificent husband. While I was upstairs writing last night, Derek did three loads of laundry (and put them away) , a load of dishes (and put them away), cleaned the kitchen, changed the blubs in the bedroom lamps, and kept the canine kids entertained. He knew I had to get Chapter 13 started last night, so he pitched in big time! I LOVE THIS MAN! : )

And remember that next Saturday (December 22) there won't be a Saturday Fun Pic -- that's when I'm posting my Christmas present to all of you. I can't thank you enough for all of your encouragement and support. Just pop by my blog next Saturday, and I'll tell you where your present is. ; )
