I woke up at six-thirty this morning from a dream about a hideous yellow dressing gown and promptly started writing the first Kyle Murchison Booth story I've written in months.

Twelve hours and three thousand words later, I have a completed draft. Entitled, appropriately enough, "The Yellow Dressing Gown."

This is not even remotely what I was supposed to be doing today, but you know, it feels good.

And I have the whole evening for the work I'm supposed to be doing. We'll see how it goes.



Publishers Weekly reviews The Mirador this week, and says very nice things about it. This makes up for the fact that someone on Amazon has tagged The Mirador as "bad writing" (me and Laurell K. Hamilton all the way, baby). Mélusine has similarly been tagged "awful book." The Virtu, conversely, has been tagged "perfection." Which sums up in a nutshell why I try to pay as little attention to Amazon as possible.

Amazon is full of poo. You should fling some at it. If my best friend, who is the biggest book nazi EVAR loves your stuff? it's safe to say it's fair brilliant.


*grin*

I did harass him until he purchased Melusine and The Virtu. I've recced you to everyone I know that is physically capable of turning a page. Everyoner who read the books has liked them thus far. Out of hope and curiosity...I was wondering if you intended to put The Mirador up on Sony Connect as an Ebook, like Melusine?

e-books are my publisher's decision, not mine. But I can certainly ask them about it.

I don't know what it is about Amazon and morons, but we shouldn't pay any attention to them at all.

Easier said than done, of course.
