On the road again! After a few months of being home, I’m not as bored with the idea as I was. I’ve had my pre-trip pedicure. I even look forward to New York. I have some media interviews to do connected with the release of the computer game based on my character Dahlia Lynley-Chivers, who’s been featured in several short stories. I love Dahlia; she’s over the top and ruthless, so she’s fun to write. I’ve seen some of the artwork for the game, and I am very enthusiastic. When it’s ready for public consumption, I’ll be sure to let you all know. It’s not like “Grand Theft Auto.” It’s more like “search and progress to the next level.” In my case, slowly.
After the media stuff, I’m going to get my author photo redone. Since it’s been some years since I posed for the last one, I’m ready. And I’m eighty pounds lighter than I was then. Alas, I’m also about six years older! I could lose a lot more weight and still no one would call me “Skinny,” but I can’t get any younger.( I think gracious acceptance is the key to contentment.) I’m not fond of photo sessions, the same way I’m not fond of going to the dentist: you need to do it and it benefits you, but you never really enjoy it.
And just maybe I’ll go shopping. Ordinarily, I’m not much of a shopper, but I don’t get to big city stores very often. It can be a lot fun to browse in Saks when you only go once every five years!
After New York, I’m off to the Boston area, where I’m going to be the Guest of Honor at the mystery convention CrimeBake. I get to hang with my best buds, Dana Cameron and Toni L.P. Kelner! This is a guaranteed gold-star good time. And seeing the other writers at the convention will be lots of fun, too. It’s been a while.
After that, home again to start the next Sookie. I hope I’m refreshed by my trip, by hanging with others who do what I do, by enjoying the change of scenery. I’ll probably see a few of you along the way.
