Micah

Feb 28, 2006

Finally, MICAH is on the shelves. The first of the novel-lites. Anita out of town with just one of the men in her life instead of a flock of them. The mystery in the forefront instead of intermingled with the romance. Anita working with the F. B. I. again, raising the dead again. I hadn’t realized how long it had been since Anita got to do just police work, just zombie raising, without vampire, or shapeshifter politics getting in the way. It was nice. It was sort of relaxing. I’m looking foreword to doing more of them. I have ideas for Richard and Nathaniel, respectively. I’d love to come up with one for Jean-Claude, and or, Asher, but so far nothing has come to mind that would sustain even a short book. More interludes than plot, and an interlude is not enough to hang a book on. No matter how fun it might be. We get to hear about Micah’s background in this book. His family. How he became a wereleopard. Stuff that I knew, in part in my head, but it had never made it onto paper. Now it has.
I’m almost completely ready for tonight’s premiere signing. Jon and I will dress up for this one, as we always do for the first signing of every book, but in Oklahoma and Texas you’ll be seeing dressy causal. I couldn’t possible do the high heels for more than a night at a time. And the dress up clothes take up sooo much room in a suitcase. Well, time to grab dinner before we have to finish getting ready. See everybody at the signing tonight.
