Today I have:

Worked on an essay that’s due November 1st. It’s part of the promotion for DIVINE MISDEMEANORS. I have at least one more essay that has been due for awhile and has a sort of when-I-can-get-it-to-them deadline.

Added three new lines to the final proofs of Divine Misdemeanors in answer to a query from New York.

Talked to my Random House publicist on phone, plus 3 e-mails from him.

Got in the page proofs of FLIRT. Due ASAP.

Got in the abridged script for the audio book of THE KILLING DANCE. Due back with any changes wanted in a week. Ha, ha, ha! No, really a week.

Looked over first cover copy for next-next Anita Blake novel. Was asked when I will have first 100 pages of the book so they might get an excerpt to go on the cover which they’re doing art work for now.

Looked over the final pencils for the newest Anita Blake comic.

Looked over colors of same comic one of which I shared on Twitter.

I have never, ever had so many books cross my desk all with such tight deadlines in my entire career. I’m not sure how this happened, but I’d like to figure it out and make sure it never happens again.

All that to say that we are doing a very brief tour for DIVINE MISDEMEANORS. I’m sorry folks, but I can’t go out for a week, or six weeks which I’ve done in the past, and make the deadline for the next book. The choice is a long tour and see lot’s of you, or a brief tour and you get two Anita Blake novels next year. I short changed the tour for the last Anita novel, SKIN TRADE, to make sure you got a Merry book this year.

So, for all those that I won’t see this tour, sorry, but I am not Superwoman, or even Superwriter. Since there is no "S" tattooed on my chest, I had to make a choice. I chose to get the books out. Here are the signings I’m doing for Divine Misdemeanors.

You need to figure out a schedule, only 1 thing allowed to be due each month. If something is already due that month, tell them give you an extra month, (or two) :D

No. Sometimes they want you to have purchased the new book there but that is about it.

I live only 6 hours from Portland!!!

I hope I can go to that signing! I would have to take my Mom and little sister, or they would kill me...Now, all I need is the time off of work.

I'm a big fan of playing dress up...so I may have to come as a character.

I'm just happy I get two Anita books, all else is just gravy. Keep doing what you do best, which is writing kick ass novels. Thanks for the bonus book this year, your fans apperciate it.

Not superwoman, huh?  The project schedules on your desk would kill most people!  I'm thinkin' you should be scheduling a "research trip" when you get the decks cleared.  I appreciate all the hard work you've done for us, satisifying our greedy hunger for more "visits" with our favorite "friends".  But speaking only for myself....I value the person behind it all much more.  Please be as good to yourself as you are to everyone around you. 

Enjoy Samhain....Blessed Be!!!

Happy Samhain!
