I expect to hear any day now that ADEN’s audio book has been released. I’ve listened to the entire book, and Nick J. Russo has done a super job.
LUCAS’s e-book is on sale for just $1.99, but only until July 31. Catch it while you can.
An update on the SHIFTER PLANET sale. The sale is from July 20-27, in CANADA and AUSTRALIA ONLY! Sorry about that … unless you live in Canada or Australia. Then it’s a great sale price for you!
Chester Bennington’s death hit me hard. His voice and beautiful lyrics absolutely speak to my soul. I saw them in concert the last time they were in L.A. We had front-row seats—this picture is one that I shot of Chester. We had tickets for their new tour this October. Music has lost an irreplaceable talent.
I’m writing, writing, writing these days. My blogs get boring when I’m in writing mode, because that’s all I do. I stay up all night every night, writing like crazy. Unfortunately, no one else keeps the same weird schedule as I do. The garage door guy, the tree guy, the sprinkler guy, the guy delivering my new office chair . . . everyone wants to ring my doorbell at 9:00 am. What the hell? I’m a night owl stuck in an early bird world!
Which means I’m going back to my Vampires now. You all have a great week!

And finally, these two pretties arrived this week from EPIC, my two awards for CHRISTIAN and SHIFTER PLANET. 
I was a diligent writer this week, spending all my time with Cyn and Raphael, and with the new guy, too. Because new guys all have to pay a visit to Malibu, right? 
Okay, so I didn’t spend ALL my time writing. I did laundry. I know. I live a wild and crazy life. But I’ve been without a washer/dryer for like 2 months! I’m having my laundry room renovated/made larger. It was supposed to take 3 weeks. But that was before L.A.County’s building department got involved, and everything ground to a halt. Grrrrrr. I finally surrendered to the growing piles. My sister and her family very conveniently took a short vacation, so I took over her washer/dryer. It took hours, but I got it done. Now if we can just finish the damn laundry room before I need to do it again. Argh!
So, I’m kind of sad this week. It’s my birthday, and I’m missing my darling husband. He always gave me red roses for my birthday. One year, he was all the way down under, in Australia. But the roses still arrived on time. He was such a romantic. My birthday won’t be the same, ever again.
It’s 4th of July weekend in the U.S., aka Independence Day. This picture is taken off the Malibu coast, not far from Raphael’s estate. Pretty. But, of course, summer means the height of fire season here in the West. We had two fires going in or near my canyon this week, and they kept shutting down the only road in or out. I just squeaked by getting through to get home when they opened the road to residents with ID. But when I posted on my neighborhood board five minutes later, the road was closed again. It’s frustrating, but we understand and appreciate the hard work and danger our firefighters face. Safety first for them, because they’re on the front lines. I’m happy to say that so far they have a handle on it. No structures in danger, no current live flames, but they’re still working to contain the fire’s perimeter.
