And March begins...

Mostly good stuff, so far. Which is awesome because I turn 60 at the end of the month and I thought I'd be traveling and doing fun things for this birthday, which between J's health stuff and the things I'm juggling, is not going to happen. In assorted bits of good news:

• Just got my contract extended at my day job (my contract was up at the end of this month otherwise). The work itself is kind of nuts, but I like the team, I can WFH and the checks don't bounce so it's all good.
• Speaking of checks, I got my advance from Tantor Media for the audio books of the Wolves of Wolf's Point books. Which is a pretty nice 60th birthday gift, if you ask me! And incentive to knuckle down and write the third book in the series, Blue Moon.
• Got the preorder up for Death by Silver by Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold (Lynes & Mathey #1). The gorgeous new cover is by artist and author Matthew Bright of Inkspiral Design and he's done a lovely job on the interior too!
• Got in at another couple of events, including the FemFair at Hamline U., a couple of slots at Dancing Bear Chocolate and the new Raedial Bookfair in St. Paul this summer.
• Started edits and chats about cover art for this summer's novella release, Little Nothing by Dee Holloway (Alternate history! Weird horse girls! Young lesbians battling the Confederacy! Good stuff!).
• MarsCon was fun and I got to spend some time with friends and sold some books.
• Got tickets to various fun things throughout the month.
• Am enjoying the Acorn TV subscription that a friend gifted me with for my birthday.

More soon, as it happens.

Thank you for sharing all this good news. Things have been really Strange here, and I needed to see some industry normal insanity. :)
