Yesterday was a total write-off for me. I struggled through my usual bout of Sunday night insomnia, then had to get up stupidly early to open up at work, only to discover three other members of staff were already in and had opened up. I was unimpressed. The day was busy and stressful and I was wound up to breaking point by the time I got home.

So rather than do battle with SILVER KISS again, I ate pizza leftovers and watched old episodes of Catchphrase and The Cube (the gameshow, not the film. I HATE that film with a bitter, burning hatred. Actually I hate the gameshow too. Oooh, the contestant has to bounce a ball into a tube! It's a simple task, but now YOU'RE IN A PERSPEX BOX IT'S SUDDENLY MUCH HARDER! Idiots! And don't get me started on Catchphrase. None of the catchphrases were actually catchphrases, unless "ceaser salad" is a catchphrase rather than a meal. I don't know. At least that was from the 90s. The Cube has no excuse).

Anyway. I did that, had a relatively early night, and feel much better for it. Woke up this morning ready to get to work again, and buzzing with ideas for promo for AFTERLIFE. I'm anticipating that doing promo on my budget will be pretty tough, but I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve to make a go of it. More on that as it develops, but if you like the sound of hot jazz, cold cocktails, and dead men, stay tuned...

PS - I (by which I mean Steve, my web designer) am making some changes over at my website. There's now a separate section for the Wolf City books, so you can stay up to date on covers, reviews, releases, etc. Should you so wish. Which you do. I hope.
