Death is not worse pain than an empty life. -- Lun Tha

Well, in one of the quickest turn-arounds in my experience, Sonoran Mirage is now in print. The book run was shipped and arrived this week and I have a copy in my own little hands. (Thanks, Grand PoohBah!)

I am fortunate to have seen my work in print before, but not everyone in the authors' group has had that luxury. Felt that rush! The Journalist had a HUGE grin on her face (bet you didn't know that, didja, TJ?), and Mrs. Tension said she "was drooling." It was fun!

So, we'll be getting together next week to have a massive booksigning at our usual hangout. With ten authors, we want all of our sigs in a certain amount of books. Fifty, I think, that we plan on selling at the Book Festival and taking for ourselves. One of our number lives out of state, but he wants signed copies, too, and we want HIM to sign OURS. So we have a logistics thing happening.

Oops, Scooter is up. Gotta, er, scoot. Make it a bee-yew-tiful Thursday!!
