NEWS: The Benevolence Archives, Vol. 1 has been submitted to Amazon and should be live within twelve hours.  I will be spamming the crap out of everyone I know with links once I actually have a link.  $2.99!  You can find that in the couch.  And I get to keep just south of $2 of that before taxes!  Wheeee!

Launching a new book on Saturday is not the smartest idea I ever had, but at least I’ve learned how Amazon works: once you submit it, it’s submitted.  There’s no “hold this until this date” option that I’ve found.  I think I’ll probably be okay.

PRETTY THINGS UPDATE:  Yeah, it’s summer.  The lilac bush is flowering!  It’s one of the few parts of my lawn that I actually like.  Soon it will overgrow the back door to my house and I will have to hack at it with something sharp and I will not like it again, but for the next couple of weeks it’s going to be my favorite plant.

NIGERIA UPDATE:  This article, written by an actual Nigerian, says many of the same things I said in my piece from yesterday except she doesn’t say “fuck” every four words.  That post is kinda blowing up; it really entertains me how much my traffic multiplies when I get angry and swear a lot.  Yesterday was the highest-traffic day since the Inexplicable Surge several weeks ago.  🙂
