My sister just told me that my brother-in-law’s cousin, 23-year-old Ryann Bunnell Crow, has been missing since Jan 30th.
Here is the TV news report and the article. If you are in the area, please take a look.
I’m trying to decide between getting up — and risk falling flat on my face — and bearing the pain of walking around on a leg as it’s coming back to life, or just never moving again and having a numb leg forever, even if it means I have to pee on myself.
…and to relate this post to romance novels, that metaphorically resembles the decision that an emotionally stunted hero must make at the book’s climax. It also explains why dogs like to hump my leg — they are channeling their inner stunted alpha.
I think that makes me a doormat by default, though.

Also, I’m starting to plan the website update in preparation for the new steampunk series. Is there anything on this site that you’d like to see that isn’t currently available? Anything about the current site that you wish wasn’t there, or that you wish was done differently?
Amazon seems to have Demon Forged on sale, for almost half off the cover price ($4.67). Will that last beyond today? I have no clue.
I have gone through every caffeinated thing in our house, but desperately need some to keep going this morning. I found some Godiva’s mocha mix that is six months past the pull date. Will it kill me? Check yes or no.
Loading ...So, something I learned today was: The only thing better than a possessed zombie Wonder Woman is a possessed zombie Wonder Woman making out with Batman (and drawn by Nicola Scott.)
It was totally a What The…? moment, but like Christmas at the same time.
Hee.
I’ve got a post up at Odd Shots featuring the trailers of several paranormal-ish movies that I’m looking forward to (once I get caught up with my writing.) I’m not online much, and I expect that this blog will be pretty quiet through the end of February, but I’ll always be at Odd Shots on Fridays.
So far, my 2010 release schedule looks like this (full descriptions below the cut):
DEMON BLOOD (excerpt added), July 2010
“Here There Be Monsters” in BURNING UP, August 2010
THE IRON DUKE, October 2010
I expect to revamp the site around March or April, and I should have more information regarding the Iron Seas series up then, along with excerpts. I hope everyone is having a fantastic New Year!
Click to see the full descriptions of the upcoming books…which I totally copied from the “Upcoming” page on this site, heh. Cut and paste blogging, you gotta love it.

Feeling nostalgic? I saw this at io9.com — a blog called Growing Up Heroes, with a bunch of kids in their superhero costumes. My Underoos were just like this (the girl on the Big Wheel — I didn’t have one of those, but someone in my family did, because once I wheeled it backward off of our front porch and onto a bike, ouch). I also had that plastic WW costume with the scary, scary mask. It didn’t seem so scary then.
In other news, I’m giving away books at Odd Shots.
…GENTLEMEN PREFER SUCCUBI, at her blog here. It’s fun and funny and sexy, and kicks off her Succubus Diaries series. It’ll be in stores next week, and the trailer for it is here:
Jackie was an ordinary museum docent until a mysterious vampire and a fallen angel made her into a succubus. Now a sexy immortal, she’s caught between an age-old war between angels, demons, and the immortals exiled to earth. When everyone else is choosing sides, which will she pick? The good guy or the bad boy? Maybe she wants both…
I am also giving her book away away (see contest link in the menu above.) But the copies she’s giving away are signed. So, go forth! Enter!
The #1 reason I’ll be glad to see 2009 go? I’ve spent a good portion of it in my bed, coughing up my lungs, or blowing it into a tissue.
Guess how I feel today?
Bllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeergh.
Good-bye, 2009. I hope you catch what I have and die.
…is really freaking good. And it comes is such a pretty little tin, too. ::hearty eyes::
