catherineldf | Oh wow! Cool things! (Reply)

It's been a hard couple of weeks on a number of levels, but last night and now today have been lovely. Queen of Swords Press is officially 6 years old and we are feeling the love!

My online pal Jamey Morris of the heavy metal show Fistful of DOOM is hosting an Instagram book drawing for Alex Acks's terrific steampunk books, Murder on the Titania and Wireless this week.(We are metal AF! :-D)
Acclaimed author Judith Tarr (!) has a whole Tor.com piece up today about my werewolf books! I mean, I'm still alive and everything and have a slice of career retrospective by one of the shining lights in the field - how cool is that? I'm so excited!
Rem Wigmore's Wolfpack comes out on Thursday and we have a very nice early review from a Pagan perspective by author and reviewer Nimue Brown who read both books back to back and has thoughts comparing them in ways that had not occurred to me. Druidlife review.
Our plumber came today to give me an estimate on installing a tankless water heater. Due to various things about our basement, it just isn't feasible, short of spending a LOT of money, but he did discover that our current water heater is well past its projected lifetime limits, so we're getting a new standard, but more efficient one installed in a few weeks. Why is this a cool thing? We didn't find out by finding a big flood in the basewment and it's a repair that was already budgeted for!

Here's hoping the rest of the week brings good things! We could use them.
