Last Friday, after launching
The Housewife Assassin's Underwater Assets,
I decided to get a new battery for my computer. The tip-off one was needed:
after a mere three hours, it would go from
100 to zero.
Not a great speed record, especially since I've only owned it for three years.
Okay, make that three years and a week,
which was just long enough for
the battery's warranty to die, too.
Things went downhill from there when the Apple tech informed me it would take
A WHOLE WEEK
before I could get it back.
Seriously?
The joke among those who know me best is that I'm on the darn thing 24/7.
(Well, gee, how else can I write
2-3 books a year?)
I've now been cold-turkey for two days.
Granted, I've snuck onto my son's computer to do little things like to check incoming emails, and to send out this one.
Most importantly, I check to see if I'm getting reviews on HA24 “Underwater Assets.”
Having put a lot of heart and soul into the latest Donna and Jack caper, I want to hear if you, too felt I'd put them through their paces by giving them the vacation from Hell, and a real reckoning on their relationship, their jobs, and their future as a couple.
Let me put it this way: a little—or in their case, a lot—of soul-searching may be the best thing that ever happened to them.
You'll find out this fall.
