A PLACE TO SHARE AND/OR PROMOTE BOOKS - SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Story up on EDF and local appearances
I have good news. My funny flash fiction piece, "The Heist" is up at EveryDayFiction. Stop by and read it and vote.
I have three more appearances this month, if you still haven't had a chance to get my new book, Awesome Lavratt. They are as follows:
I'll be at the Afternoon with Local Writers at the community center in Cotati put on by Redwood Writers Club (see their website for more info or mine) on June 21 at 2 PM. This is a free event.
On June 22nd, I'll be reading (probably a short story- though books will be available for sale) during open mic at Finbar Divine's in Petaluma at the Pints, Poetry and Prose event (6:30PM).
On June 28th, I'm signing books at The Comic Book Box in Rohnert Park, in University Square (1451 Southwest Blvd., across from Rancho Cotati HS) from 1-4PM.
I had a great time on June 3rd, reading from Awesome Lavratt and hearing Camille Picott read from Raggedy Chan, her new graphic novel, in Healdsburg. See her blog for more on this. I got the second signed copy. :) Camille has a book launch on June 14th from 3-6PM at St. John's Parish Hall, 217 Fitch St., Healdsburg.
I'll be in Sonoma on July 26 to MC and read from Awesome Lavratt at the next Redwood Writers Club's Odd Month Reading. And probably the next evening at Finbar's again.
There will also be a Redwood Writers joint book launch party in July that will include my Awesome Lavratt. I don't have the date or venue yet, though.
Don't forget to check out my blog at http://sciencefictionmusings.blogspot.com. I posted pics from BayCon. I had a great time and was able to meet a number of SF writers.
I'm currently working on a new SF novel and a mainstream novel I started years ago. More on that later.
Lastly, please oh please stop by my website at http://www.annwilkes.com and sign up for my newsletter. It's very safe. You have to type the funny letters into the box and verify through email so no one can hijack the emails. I will only send around 3 or 4 notices per year.
I'm also planning to update my bio on my website to include all the forums I'm on. It's quite a list (21 or so): Red Room, MySpace, Face Book and Live Journal, to name a few.

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks
Monday, I'm over at my group blog, http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com/, where I'm blogging about the mystery of the missing checks. Come on over and find out what it's all about.Thanks,

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.
