catherineldfWell, there was certainly toil. I spent most of the morning writing a guest blog about the highs and lows of promoting lesbian fiction for the new (to me, anyway) GLBT online magazine, The Scarlet Letter. Then I confirmed my October appearance on The Log Line Blog, where authors get to write up 25 word "elevator pitches" of their books. This was a lot of fun, sort of like writing haiku. And I set up an interview on author Roxanne Bland's blog, Of Werewolves and Other Strangers. Speaking of which, I'll be hosting werewolf editor and monster pop culture critic Hannah Kate of the She Wolf Conference in Manchester in the next week or two as part of the promotion for her anthology, Wolf Girls out here. It looks like the folks from the Future Fire anthology, Outlaw Bodies, will also be stopping by sometime between now and October.
Otherwise, it's been errands and prepping for tomorrow's prepping for painting the porch. This will take weeks but we're hoping to get everything caulked et al, thanks to some help from a friend. Then I'm off to author Kelly McCullough's birthday party, so no daily post tomorrow unless something interesting happens.
In the meantime, we're not in trouble or anything approaching it, but I do have a request: if you were considering buying one or more of my books, now would be a lovely time. If you can't afford to do so or have no interest in actually owning, ordering one or more of them in through your local library is also wildly helpful. As is posting any positive reviews you'd considered posting but hadn't gotten to yet. And recommending my books to friends. I start interviewing next week but periods of financial uncertainty always make me twitchy. A boost in book sales will help me psychologically and eventually financially, not to mention supporting Lethe Press. For those of you who have already done so, many, many thanks. I hope my work is worthy of your support.
