Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve curled up on the couch at home eating fancy cheese, and watching the BBC miniseries of Death Comes to Pemberley.

Cheese, couch and wine portion of the evening: five stars.

Death Comes to Pemberley: meh.

I only kept watching because it was pretty BBC period drama, though I don't NOT like Pride and Prejudice, I am not hugely emotionally invested in it, and because Elizabeth Darcy was played by the actor who is Susan in The Bletchley Circle, which I DO highly recommend. (Ladies! Who were codebreakers! Solving crime together in post-war Britain! I successfully pimped it out to zulu and bell when they came to visit last weekend.)

And Barb's alter ego has a new book coming out in less than two weeks! So last night, we got her out of print vampire series up for sale on Smashwords. The cover artist she contracted did an awesome job, and the formatting using Smashwords was less painful than I thought it would be. The next experiment is to see if I can get them onto Amazon today. There are advantages to being an author married to a librarian...

Success!

In theory, Barb's vampire books will be up on Amazon for Kindle sometime in the next twelve hours.

Also, Smashword lets you do coupons. So she's made one for friends, Lineage for 50% off (expires February 2, 2014) Use coupon code SH94D when checking out.

And somebody may have spent the afternoon submitting said book to a dozen review sites...
