Restoration Day is OUT!

Yes, as hard as it is to believe, and as long as the path has been, I am now officially a published author!

And more importantly, the evidence is now available from (alphabetically):

Amazon (including the US, UK, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Spain, France, India and Italy branches – please note that while the websites are in a variety of languages, the book is currently only in English)

Barnes & Noble

Fishpond (NZ, AU, US, UK, HK, Indonesia…)

SuperBookDeals

and may be available from more locations soon! By all means, check your favourite online book-buying place even if you don’t see them listed above.

Please note – the cost to you may vary but I get the same regardless, so don’t cheat yourself and be sure to shop around.

Ebooks (in MOBI, PDF and EPUB format) are on the way, and I’ll definitely let you know when they’re available.

But for now – we celebrate!

What Could Be Worse Than Having Your Head Cut Off?

“So unless you can sound a missing horn with your lips and your lungs in two places, I can’t see it happening,” Malin summed up.
“Really! Must you be so—graphic?”
“Hey, I’m probably in for something worse.”
“What could be worse than having your head cut off?” Lily asked, feeling the hysteria rise.
“Something slower.”
Lily thought about this. He was probably right.

The Last Gargoyle

As we draw to the end of the year, so we draw to the end of the Gargoyle Chip Reports.

Since July I have sides-to-middled, patched and darned one pair of queen-size sheets; appliquéd a large spray of roses to a circle of cloth (with thousands of tiny stitches); decided on and marked a quilting design; made a quilt sandwich, tacked/basted it, and begun the quilting.

Is this where I wanted to be by the end of the year? No, but it’s a considerable distance further along than I think I would have been otherwise.

And after all, while the reports may cease, the work can still go on. I’m hoping for some cool and quiet evenings to work on the quilting – all this progress has made me feel rather more kindly toward the project than I have hitherto.

What have you accomplished since July? Take a moment to think it through, write it down, and celebrate!
