Hi All!

 

Just wanted to give you a quick update and let you know about a deal I'm participating it. The audiobook of Campus Confidential is currently free as part of the Indie Audiobook Deals promo, running this week! Check out all the deal here:

I'm still hard at work finishing up the audiobook of Under Review. In fact, I'm hoping it will be done this weekend! In the meantime, you can listen to most of it (for free!) on YouTube if you want to get a preview.

 

Oh, and remember how I promised some exciting and delightful news at the beginning of the month? Well, here it is. I have added another cat to the clowder!

Here she is exploring the backyard. That's cat fencing you see behind her, so she is securely (we hope--she's a bit of an escape artist) contained within the yard.

 

As is so often the case, she was not the cat I was initially intending to get. I wanted a kitten or kittens, preferably longhaired. But my attempts to get particular kittens kept falling through, and I ended up going to the shelter several times. Every time she was still there and was so sweet that I just couldn't take it anymore and eventually brought her home. 

 

Of course, I promptly realized that she was the perfect cat and fate had known better than my conscious mind what I really needed. Her name is Estë, after the goddess in the Silmarillion who always wears gray. She appears to be part Siamese and is very small and kittenish, even though she's probably about 4 years old.

 

I may still get that longhaired kitten at some point, but right now I'm pretty busy dealing with the clowder as it currently stands. However, shelters are overrun all over the country right now, so if you're thinking of getting a cat, now is a great time!

 

Wishing you much kitty-filled joy in the coming weeks. And if you also feel moved to do some reading, here are the links again for the Indie Audiobook Deals sale and Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale, which is running until the end of the month.

 

Happy reading!
