I got the new book up on Amazon overnight. This is the place:
www.amazon.com/Seized-Pipe-Woman-Chroni ... 007MGRCBU/
It'll also be available at a bunch of Amazon's European sites presently, I guess....
I thoroughly enjoyed both
SwanSong and
Lulie , so I suppose I'll have to check this out too

Finally feeling back to myself again. As back to myself as I can be with no smokes, no tea, no coffee, no red wine, no spicy food or foods that stain of any kind. At least the pain is gone although I still have a slight residual headache which is still a better change from the pounding one I spent most of the day with. This Friday is the shaving of the front teeth and the impressions for the fittings of the crown and veneer. I'll be fitted with temporaries so that makes me happy and it's all almost over. A few weeks from now it will be done.

It should be a good day. The weather's great and tonight I'm going to see
Casablanca on the big screen.

I Netflixed
Casablanca not long ago. I'd seen it before, but this time what struck me was how many pop culture references it spawned.
Then I watched
The Maltese Falcon the other night. Wow, talk about convoluted plots...
I think I actually followed it this time around -- go me!

70th anniversary of its release. Turner movies is sponsoring it in theaters around the country today. I bought the tickets 3 weeks ago and had to settle on my second choice of location.

Yay for the shower chair, Sarge!
Sooo, I edited the listing for my new book on Amazon this morning. Got the e-mail that the book is live again. But I'm getting a 404 error message when I search for the book. Called Amazon Author Central about it. Apparently there's a glitch and numerous authors have been caught by it.
Hope the techs can resolve it SOON....

Consider Julie would be the one installing the eyebolt assembly into the rafter, I can kinda see why.

Thankee!
Actually, it's not up at CreateSpace yet. That's the Kindle version. I gotta do the dead-tree formatting this weekend....
But -- WHEEEEE!!!! The link works! My book's back! (I can admit it now -- I was worried.
)
