Flirt, the newest Anita Blake novel, is out today! Thanks to everyone that have already told me they’ve gotten it, and are reading as I type this, or even have already finished it. Thanks for the love it comments. Thanks also for not over sharing with all the people that have not finished the book yet.

It’s also Ground Hog Day. Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so six more weeks of winter. Our snipers failed.

Happy Imbolc which is the celebration of the rekindling of the light as we prepare for spring. In our faith the Goddess, Brid, pronounced Breed is the one most associated with today. She is also Saint Bridget, so happy St. Bridget day! Since this holiday is all about warmth and the rekindling of the fires it seems strangely fitting to have a new book out, and to celebrate with all you guys who will be in Atlanta tonight at the signing at Barnes & Noble at 2900 Peachtree in Buckhead, at 6:00 PM tonight. We’ll do a brief question and answer session and then we will sign Flirt, or one object of your choice. For those die-hard fans you can go back through the line a second time if you have the stamina. Jennie Breeden of “Devil’s Panties” will be with us because she did the cartoons in the back of the book. Yes, Anita and the gang, with cartoons. How fun is that?

I realize in looking over my copy of Flirt that I forgot two things. One, the web address for Jennie’s site, http://devilspanties.keenspot.com and in the essay in back I say I’m going to list reference books used for Flrit but in rereading the nonfiction piece I could not find the reference books listed. My bad. I will blog the reference later but I am far from my reference library and have most of my staff with me so can’t remedy my oversight. Sigh, no matter how much editing, or how many people see a piece there are always things left out. But thanks to modern technology they’re easier to fix than they used to be. See you guys tonight.
