Three basset hounds on the cover, and my children eying for themselves. But they can’t have it – yet. It’s mine!
You can find “Out Cold” here, and Tom Schreck here.

Well, not exactly. But I am now a Vice President. Sure, it’s only for the Midwest Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America, but that’s still pretty cool (I was the only candidate, and they had blackmail information to make me run BUT STILL…)
In addition to the web duties, I’ll be working on scheduling meetings and on the MWA booth at the Printer’s Row book festival. Yay me!
In other news, I’ve updated my EVENTS page with stuff for 2010. Check it out!

When I’m in the Detroit area, I like to visit Green Brain comics in Dearborn.
It’s a nice, clean shop and my daughters are usually able to find things for all ages.
This time we had two of their cousins with us – a boy and girl who had never been to a shop before.
For him, we got a Batman in the Fifties book. For her, the first Jane Irwin Vogelein graphic novel.
The girls picked up the last in the “Beast of Burden” miniseries and the second trade of “Raven’s Children” by Layla Lawlor.
I also bought the latest in the Red Herring” series. Haven’t decided about that series yet.
Another good outing there – get to that store if you can.

I hate when technology fails.
I especially hate, hate, hate automated telephone systems. All they’re designed to do is take away jobs from real people. When they don’t work, they add frustration to the whole process. It took me a half hour to order movie tickets over the phone for NO GOOD REASON.
And you know what else? I don’t like it when you have real people but they’re all the way over in a different country. I don’t have anything against those people, but the system is set up where those people don’t have any real power in or knowledge of the system. So they more often than not can’t answer my questions and I have to spend my time convince them to transfer me to someone who can help me.
I’m not tech ignorant, I’m very efficient when I want to be, especially when I’m on the phone or on the web. I’m ready to do business.
So when I have to deal with a poorly designed website (like with a certain con), or navigate through a crappy phone tree system (no I don’t want to join your stinking movie club) or deal with AT&T in general, I get seriously pissed off.
I’m ready to do business. Stop being stupid and get out of my way.
