Sometimes a draft just needs a little word tornado.

YOU know what's wonderful? Getting a proof in and it looking Beautiful. Making books can only get better, and I mean in the passion of it and the possibilities. Happiness!

I have to read through the interior and make sure everything's as it should be, then order a bunch for~~~

the Clockwork Couture authors signing, which is (peers at calendar), NOV 15th, in cahoots with a Clockwork holiday craft faire, so come and get stocking stuffers and gifts. ICE DEMON will also be available at Loscon, Thanksgiving weekend.

Could not get the print book done in time for Comkaze Expo, tomorrow, which is a shame, but at least I tried. However, many buttons pressed for the occasion! Sometimes at media events, I just don't lasso enough book lovers. ;) Thus, table cost is supported by selling geegaws, and I do love to design buttons as well as make them. As you can see!

Probably one of the best purchases I made when committing to the con circuit (besides my riding hat :D), was my button machine. It's the full metal sort and has already paid back for itself. The second pic is of the buttons that tend to be most popular (hence my having to press more). The "Word words happy words" button is a quote from Dark Victorian: BONES, as spoken by the madwoman and journalist, Helia Skycourt. :)

Okay, now what? I just ate a cookie, so I should read that proof. :D

The paperback proof of The Summer I Said Yes just arrived! It's amazing to feel it in my hands. I know the book's been out for a few months, but it really feels real now :) Can't wait until the paperback is up on Amazon!!!
