I have Tommy and Tuffy, (or they have me) and I am Stuffy. Head cold from … well not from heaven. Oy. I should buy stock in Puffs and Kleenex.
Today I start work on the proposal for book 4 of the Jane Yellowrock saga. Currently untitled. I am psyched!
And if the headcold lets up, I’m gonna tackle the position of the retaining wall / terraces, and stack stone to see if I’m gonna like what I have planned. Whoowhoo. (Well it came out as Whoo-hack-cough-sneeze, but you get the idea.)
And clean house. The carpets are gross…

I cannot get warm today. The headcold (evil zombie demon headcold) is attacking with all guns blazing. I haven’t had a cold in over 2 years, which I attribute to flu shots upping my resistance, but that is an unsubstantiated, out and out guess. When I finish this blog, I am nuking a cuppa tea left over from last night’s pot, and getting some fuzzy socks and a sweater. Brrrr.
A treat — the title of chapter one of Mercy Blade:
I Didn’t Know You Had a Brain
It cracks me up!
Yeah, I know. It must be the drugs.

Mudepoz asked how the foreign sales work, which is a great topic, and one I needed. A coworker fell and I am pulling the graveyard shift at the lab this week — which makes the brain all fuzzy and mushy. I am pretty sure that is where the myths about zombies come from, people who work nights. Plus — I have a head cold. Ick. A zombie with a cold, staggering around sneezing as body parts drop off. (laughing) I love that image! All that said, I feel pretty good.
Foreign sales can be both complicated and very simple. My AKA, Gwen Hunter, was signed with a company that had publishing houses in most foreign countries, and they demanded–and got–world rights to publish. Meaning that when I / she was with them, the books were automatically translated, and each one appeared in up to 25 countries. She was a bestseller in Estonia. Really. That was that easy way to sell overseas.
Faith is with a house where that isn’t going to happen. The publishing house has only North American rights, meaning that they can market and sell only to US and Canada. My agent has ties with agents in other countries, and is working with those foreign rights agents to sell the book in Europe. So far Jane Yellowrock is sold to Russia, France, Germany and is up for auction in Spain. Which is totally cool!
Meanwhile, back at the desk, I am still a zombie with a head cold. It must be a really bad one because the awful herbal tea I am drinking tastes good. Which is way scary…
