Life, Interrupted

You people absolutely rock! I know that a lot of you have never done an Amazon review before, and I am honored that you made the effort for my book. Thank you so much!

Happy Holidays here! There are gonna be sales in honor of things soon -- Amazon and Book View Cafe definitely, maybe Barnes & Noble if they get their act together.

For Fires of Nuala. Happiness!

Thank-you, Antonia and Troyce!

This is a post for Live Journal, and it's about stuff I don't discuss casually. We're talking about the nitty gritty of carving out a new life for myself. But if you have a moment, you can improve my situation.
( Since I cannot turn off Facebook, we'll try hiding behind a cut )
Thanks for your attention, and all your kindness. And now -- it's Allie's turn again.

Well, my October sale rolled over into November, thanks to family emergencies. I'll be raising the price of the book tonight. so if you want to get the sale price? Go buy it now. It will be on sale again sometime, but not this month!

I have no idea when the new blurbs go up at Amazon, but they're up at Wizard's Tower.

Fires of Nuala

On the planet Nuala, the scam that beguiling free-trader Silver has come to join has just been blown to the skies, along with the throne lines of three separate sovereign nations.

The last male heir of one throne line, Sheel Atare, is unprepared to rule, but he's quick to seize allies wherever he can -- like the beautiful and dangerous Silver.

Now Silver has to choose: stick to the scam, or get sucked into the struggle to save Nuala -- and Sheel Atare's life.

We're getting close to our rollover to site upgrade 2.0, over at Book View Cafe, so the serialization of Fires of Nuala is probably running out.

Nope, it won't finish, best as I know, so you can read up to today's installment, and then you'll need to pick up your own copy of the book!

Ack! It's raining! Not that we don't need rain, but this means washing hair before running to the grocery. I sure hope HEB carries brown rice tortillas, because I don't want to drive into town.

If I can find some energy, maybe a dance class today?

Well, it's Thursday, it's 20 degrees F outside here in the Texas Hill Country, and my Burmese is sitting on the hot sack in my lap and wants me to move to the lounger and keep editing Fire Sanctuary. We're on our way. Thought I'd remind people what's up on a Thursday.

Today over at Book View Cafe is Chapter 19 of Fires of Nuala. You can also start reading from the beginning, if you've never given it a try. Buy books here.

The Shadow Conspiracy II is now available. It contains my most recent story, "Abide With Me" as well as a lot of other fine stuff. You can read a sample story by C. L. Anderson here. Bonus -- price reduction on the previous collection, The Shadow Conspiracy! Get them now and have an orgy of steampunk reading.

My most recent gluten post went up over at the BVC Blog -- Everyday Gluten Glitches, about the joy of changing over skin care products and such stuff. Bonus -- P&G cleaning products are gluten-free! I'll be testing the second round of a GF/macro chocolate chip cookie recipe tonight, if I don't go dancing (snow and ice alert -- I'm weighing my options. A lotta hills between me and the class, or the long way around.) Or maybe class and baking later. If the recipe satisfies, I'll post it tomorrow, with links to its parent recipes.

I have been researching 1810 clothing, letting Allie explain to me what people were wearing in her 1810 NYC. Then I hope back to her story tomorrow.

More mail later!

The second book of the Chronicles of Nuala has gone to Kindle -- Hidden Fires and
Fires of Nuala can be found at the Amazon monster store.

And in honor of this event -- SALE! They each are only $3.99 a piece, a steal for such fine science fiction novels.

We now return you to your browsing....
