Good and bad

I got the email from my editor this morning: Jack of All Trades is now available from Ancient Tomes! I thought it was an ebook download available, but it looks like you can go ahead and order the print copy.

I made a trailer for it that you can watch, although mostly I suspect people who watch it will think, "That's a terrible trailer." At least it has good music (by the awesome Danny Birt) and illustrations (by the equally awesome Richard Svensson; the illustrations are from the book).

All this is good, of course. The bad is that my cat has picked up something that's affected her neurologically. She's a lot better than yesterday, when she couldn't stop turning in circles, but apparently this is not uncommon in cats and there are umpteen things that could cause it, from a brain tumor or head trauma to an ear infection or lung cancer. I declined to take her to the UT Vet Hospital for Every Test Known to Man and instead brought her home from the vet's with four medications: an antibiotic, a steroid, an ear flush, and ear drops. She's still wobbly; I think she may actually have vertigo, poor thing.

So in between getting the email from my editor and writing up this post, I had to stop and give Angel her morning meds, and she bit my finger. Which makes it hard to type. But I'd rather she bite my finger than turn in circles incessantly.

[I have no idea what I did to the font in this post.]
