Awash in Aftermath

“Aftermath” is a very strange word. It has vaguely negative connotations, doesn’t it? I find that odd, because to me it should be a word of unbridled joy. Any time aftermath is a good time. I often experience dread beforemath and existential horror duringmath, but aftermath is a time for frolicking with hummingbirds and singing show tunes with denizens of the forest.

Well. Here I am in the aftermath of my first week of bein’ published, my first book signing thingie, and I haven’t posted any pictures yet. I feel badly about this, but I haven’t had the time. The Day Job has been swamping me since it’s getting darn close to finals. I’ll do my best to squeeze in some time somewhere…

In the meantime let me say how grateful I am to everyone who came to Changing Hands to see me. It was a lovely night and it seemed that everyone was entertained. I’d also like to thank the spiffy people who have contacted me either on Facebook, Twitter, or the blog here to say how much they’re enjoying HOUNDED. It gives me warm fuzzies!

I will be at the East West Exchange in Payson this Sunday at 12:30. It’s a neato little bookshop with free wifi and what I believe to be the best darn fancy-schmancy coffee drinks in town. I’d love to meet you there if you’re in northern AZ or wouldn’t mind a nice drive up to visit a place with trees.

May your aftermath be serene and full of joy. :)
