In which I am here!

No, really, I am. I'm tail over teakettle right now, which is not unusual for the week before RWA. What is unusual is that I am trying to wrap up everything that was due in July AND August because when I return from Florida, I intend to immerse myself completely in my current book. I hear you saying this sounds like madness, and oh yes, my friends, you are right. This is the action of a lunatic and if you feel inclined to chase me with a giant butterfly net, I wouldn't blame you a bit. But until you catch me, there are some things I ought to post:

*Literacy Signing! I will be one of the 500 authors at the RWA Literacy Signing next week in Orlando. That link gives all the details, including the names of the very fine organizations the event will benefit. (I had a long entry typed up with all of the info here, but my server ate it. The link has absolutely everything you need to know, I promise!)

*Interview! I was very kindly invited to participate in the launch of Moon Washed Kisses, a webzine for romance readers that debuted this month. You can check out the interview here. Thanks, MWK!

*A cruel teaser! One of the projects I am clearing off my desk is a book I was asked to blurb. I read it today and it was divine! After I've had a chance to share my thoughts with the editor, I'll pass along the title and author, because you will want to pre-order it at once. It is straight-up Renaissance skullduggery of the very best sort!

Hope all of you are keeping well--it's still boiling here, but I'm trying not to think of it. I have a book on Antarctica I'm supposed to read, and I know if I concentrate hard enough, I will get frostbite...
