And There was Great Rejoicing Throughout the Land…

My book is in London! :cheer::scream::streamer: There is great happiness in my household tonight. Yesterday I was planning to mail that puppy, but almost as soon as I wrote my blog, the most vicious stomach flu had to smack me down. Nonetheless, I persevered and managed to e-mail the book to my editor this morning. Hooray! And I think we have a title for it, too. No longer is it Patrick’s Book or Her Wild Irish Rogue (I thought that one was clever, but I am now 3 for 3 on not getting my titles, so I may have to just start coming up with hokey titles to entertain and amuse myself since they never really fly). I could call the next one The Book that Must Not Be Named. Or maybe Swords, Castles, and Sexy Men, Oh My!.

So, incidentally, the new title is Her Warrior King. I think that’ll work just fine. Patrick is very much a yummy warrior king, and it brings the trilogy titles together nicely.

In the meantime, I get to catch up on some much-needed television. I am six episodes behind on “Lost,” people! I feel so..so…out of touch with the universe. But I plan to remedy this ASAP. And I should probably figure out what kind of book/trilogy/series I’m writing next. I also need to update my website with the new back cover copy for The Warrior’s Touch among various and sundry tasks. You will note that housecleaning is NOT on my list of things to do. :rotf:

Then, too, the minions of middle school are facing the last 16 days of the school year and are starting to get a little antsy. Throw in some standardized testing, and it’s a wonder we don’t have mutiny on our hands. But with a little chocolate and patience, we’ll get through. To those of you who are done with school in the next few days, let me just say that I am so jealous!

I am considering taking my 5-year-old son to his first movie, after school gets out. Have any of you seen “Shrek 3?” Is it appropriate for a boy of that age? Or should we skip it?
