On sale date for The Trouble with Demons

It's official -- the The Trouble with Demons will be in bookstores on April 28.

Last night I got the copyedits for TTWD which are due back to my editor on October 22 (approx. two weeks). So I've stopped work on Bewitched & Betrayed to get those done. Last night I pushed through another big chunk of B&B Chapter 5, and did some plotting ahead. This will give my subconscious writing brain something to work on while I do the copy edits for TTWD over the next two weeks. I know that's why I've been waking up the past few mornings at 3:30 and not been able to go back to sleep, which makes for a cranky Lisa during the daylight hours. I needed to do some "big picture" plotting ahead. Just enough to satisfy the control freak part of my brain.

It worked perfectly; the book didn't wake me up last night -- Gracie did. One whimper from my girl greyhound and I'm instantly awake. She had to tinkle at 2:30 this morning. And being the social boy that he is, Andy wanted to go along. I took the greyhounds outside so they could happily soak the back yard. And apparently Gracie was having sleep issues of her own last night. She spent most of the night sleeping with me and Derek, but everytime she'd get off the bed, then come back later, she needed to be petted. I'm thinking she might not be feeling too good right now, so I gave her all the petting and reassurance she needed. And when she finally did fall asleep, Derek got Gracie's warm & furry back snuggled up to him -- I got those long legs, feet, and claws. I'm a little bleary eyed this morning, but I'll make it.

As I go through the TTWD copyedits this week, I'll see if there are some tidbits of writing knowledge in there from my editor that you all might be interested in hearing about.
