The READ THIS! Author Q&A is THIS Thursday, New Audibooks, and More!
Halfway through the Hottest Month (At Least In My Hemisphere)!
We're halfway through August, and I can't speak for any other regions, but it's been humid, hot, and swampy here in beautiful Hotlanta. So humid. SO, SO, SO humid. For those keeping score at home, yes, I still miss the dry desert heat.
I head for Dragon Con soon, but amazingly enough NOT at the end of this month as in years past. I know! I'm shocked, too.
After a mad dash around the galaxy, saving the day in various important ways and expanding the Annocusal Empire left and right, all Kitty & Company want to do is go home. But that’s not in the particular hand they’ve been dealt...

A reminder that reviews are hugely vital and if you enjoyed (or didn't - any review is a good review, seriously) the bookie wookie (and any of the others) a review is the best way to show it!
