Hiya people in Internet land,
Well after an amazing writing session last night, Prisoners of the Alliance is right on schedule for release in the first or second week of April. The deciding factor will be how quickly we can record and mix each episode. I can tell you that we already have one in the can and several others waiting to be mixed.
I have recently been very sick, which has prevented me from recording. However, I am finally on the mend. I did attempt recording this morning, but that was ruined half way through when a family member decided at 7 am was the perfect time to start the laundry. *Sigh* Well, my husband is going to give me a couple of hours to record tonight and tomorrow so that should help. Otherwise I will just have to get up really early to get recording.
In other news… I’m getting a second dog. She is a little yorkie/chihuahua mix that we have named Aria. She is only about 5 pound and will hopefully get along well with our dog Parker. I seriously recommend getting a dog from a shelter. For 1 they are usually cheaper with all vet procedures and costs taken care of. Secondly, they are very deserving animals, either coming from homes who couldn’t keep them, or from people who didn’t love them. Aria was a stray that the shelter found on their doorstep one morning. Now this little girl is incredibly cute. 12.5 on the cuteness scale. I don’t know how anyone could have abandoned her. So anyway, one of the best places to look for shelter dogs is www.petfinder.com and I totally recommend it.
So that was my public service announcement of the day.
The other countdown I have going is for BALTICON! Yes I am making the 8 hour drive *9 hours if you include the stops* to Maryland to go to my first con ever! There are only 68 days left and as it gets closer I am getting more and more nervous and excited. First of all it will be the first time I meet my co-author, David Sobkowiak face to face. It will be weird to actually see him, since we usually chat through IM or txt messaging… or Twitter if you all follow us ( @ln_dragonsong, @dsobkowiak ). Secondly I am going to meet some of the other podio novelists that I have become a fan of in recent months. I might even get a little star struck. If you’re going to be there, let me know. We can meet and chat and … well I don’t know what happens at a con really, but I’m sure there will be plenty of fun to be had.
Alright I suppose that about does it for me today, have to get back to work. Post a comment or e-mail me if you have questions you want me to address in my own weird, spastic way!
