A Horribly Busy Day...

My wife surprised me with some good news today. Remember when my lap top died and went to heaven and yet she somehow miraculously resurrected it? Well, unbeknown to me she took the longish book I had been writing for the last year out of it, edited it and published it on Amazon as a Kindle book (Just in case I died during surgery lol). I was pleasantly surprised to see it there when I scurried off to see if I had sold any of the 'Auld Lang Syne' books in the last month.

It's a niche market - not everyone's cup of tea - but at least it's now 'out there'.


So often is she 'writing' - and so often am I - that we communicate across the office using chat on the computers by sending each other links to interesting stuff on the internet, weird stories, novel ideas - it sounds dysfunctional but can be very humorous and every now and then we do talk to one another in real life. Today, when I thanked her for formatting it and publishing it for me - I asked her why she took it upon herself to do so...had to laugh at her mailed reply...

'Because I know you Rory - this would have been your response if I'd asked you to do it...'



Women, they know too much about us men.

Rory

    I smell a bestseller. Have you approached Llewellyn with this? If the Childe was still open I'd make sure they carried it. Congratulations!!!

    I'm sorry, I really don't mean to mock, but Tarot cards?

    Have you seen Hestia's Larder blog. I think she's something important in British (Scottish) Tarot.

    Tell ya what, your wife is a real keeper. How awesome that she took care of your latest book for you. Love that picture she sent you, too. (By the way, I bought your other book last week, but haven't read it yet.)

    Wasn't it Steven King's wife who sent his first book, 'Carrie' to the publisher? Or convinced him to do it. Or something like that? Yep. She's a keeper! And love the picture. Showed it to my Husby. Who liked it a little TOO much . . .

    Haha! Well, I'm glad to hear everything has gone well. I have been a lurker lately. Busy myself but with much more pressing matters than breathing. ;) Gaming comes to mind... just kidding! At any rate, wanted to drop a line to let you know I'm glad things went well and I have a blog award for you. You can hop over any time to pick it up. Cheers!
