1. I finished page proofs for MAGIC IN THE SHADOWS, and sent it in to my editor.  That's the last I'll see of this book until I receive ARC's.  It's a wonderful and slightly terrifying feeling.  This is it.  The book is as done as I can make it.

2. The first chapter of MAGIC ON THE STORM will be included in the back of MAGIC IN THE SHADOWS.  I'm very excited about that!

3. I will be doing a signing on the 18th of July from noon until we can't sign no more at Escape Fiction in Salem, Oregon.  And I won't be alone.  No, this is going to be a big ol' party!  Team Seattle--Mark Henry, Richelle Mead, Cherie Priest, Caitlin Kittridge and Kat Richardson will be there too!  So much awesomeness in one place, it boggles the mind.

Plus, there will be raffles for first edition books, time to chat with the authors, and the owner, Maria, is making her secret homemade cheesecake recipe with hand-picked fresh local berries.

If there's any signing you should hither to in the next couple weeks, I dare say this one will be the most fun!!

4. Rachel Vincent's new book, PREY is on shelves today!  Hurrah!  I'm heading out tonight to get it.  You should too!  Or, you could win a copy by going here or here.

5. We received our weekly delivery of fresh veggies.  This time we got snap peas, broccoli, kale, Swiss chard, kohlrabi and choi.  

Slime Knight,  "Egads! I'm lost!  Lost in a choi jungle and surrounded by kohlrabi and Swiss chard! I shall eat my way to freedom!"
