chickwriterToday has been a Good Day. Despite the client insanity toward the end of the day, so many good things happened.
* I got a promotion and am now Senior Project Manager. w00t!! (announced at staff meeting.)
* I have a firm publication date for my book, Matters of the Blood: April - which means it's *before* one of the major regional mystery conventions. w00t again!
* I just attended a wonderful book launch party for my cohort, Laura Durham. Her first mystery, Better Off Wed just came out. (paperback original). The party was held at a townhouse in DC, lovely catering, lovely hors d'oeuvres, lovely drinks. Pink and blue theme to match the book covers. Laura can most definitely throw a party.
Some upcoming events:
* I'll be appearing on a panel at Malice Domestic the first weekend in May.
* Laura, Clyde Linsley and I will be presenting a panel at the Mystery Writers of America chapter dinner. Our working title: Bloodsuckers, Bridezillas and Dead Presidents. (I write supernatural mysteries, Laura writes about a wedding planner and Clyde writes historicals).
* June 15th, I'm on a panel at the Smithsonian with other mystery authors (including Laura) as part of the Anatomy of a Murder series. (Of course, they have my name a bit wrong, but, hey, the Smithsonian!!!!
I'm still mainlining Oz, eagerly awaiting my Season 4 delivery. You all know, of course, that I'm going to have to borrow tapes or whatever of seasons 5 and 6 at some point!! Waiting is *not* my strong suit. ::g::
Hope everyone's day has been great. I totally am behind on LJ, due to crazy work stuff, but eventually, I will catch up.
