catherineldfToday, the air quality is pretty crappy, I didn't get enough sleep and i have a headache from the hovering storm so I'm working on projects and watching the Netflix series Word of Honor. I'm a big wuxia fan from way back so this is a fun one. Very pretty, moderately interesting and laden with interesting subtext.
Apart from that, the month has been filled with caregiving-related stuff, miscellaneous events, day job, the Pride StoryBundle and sundry other things. Not so much rest or sleep, alas, though perhaps this weekend will bring some of those around other things. I'll need it - I just scheduled two procedures in a single day for two weeks from now - both needful, but it will be a lot and means that I probably won't be at Diversicon. I'm also also talking to the burial ground/nature preserve about a good date to scatter my mother's ashes and that is likely to happen that weekend as well. Which is a LOT.
Anyway, this week:
Two events! The release of Blood Moon in audiobook! The end of the Pride StoryBundle for this year!
Tiny Diner Art Market - June 29th, 5-8PM. Minneapolis. I'll be there with books by local authors and some of Jana Pullman's handmade boxes and book
The Pride StoryBundle ends this week (7/1) and this year is particularly outstanding in that we have 17 books (biggest bundle ever!) and of those 17, 4 wound up as finalists for the Locus Awards and one was a winner! Big shoutouts to Sam J. Miller for winning best collection for Boys, Beasts and Men and to R.B. Lemberg, Nisi Shawl and Naseem Jamnia for being finalists! Also: this has been a harder than usual bundle to sell, in part because of, well, everything. So if you're thinking about it or want to give someone a copy or you've already gotten it, please, please tell your friends and followers! We've got some amazing books this year and Rainbow Railroad could definitely use all the extra funds it can get.
And on that note, I am off to bed. May tomorrow be a mellower day!
