It's that time of year again to break out the green socks!
You know how hard it is to find an anime of Belldandy with a U2 soundtrack to it?
Anyway, enjoy St. Patricks Day and stay safe!

Personal News: About My Cat Page
Page the Silly Kitty, I call her.
I adopted Page thanks to the help of an old workplace friend Judi (she's now helping with the Cat Rescue group in Broward County) back in 2001. So she's roughly 10 years old this year.
Sad thing is, I found a lump on her side a few months. Finally got her into the vet's, hoping that it was just an inflammation from the booster shots she got back in November...
It wasn't. It came back as a kind of carcinoma. A cancer. And it was growing past the skin and bits of muscle that the vet had cut out. Meaning we probably didn't get all of it.
She's suffering through the humiliation of the cone collar this past week, and my older cat Tehya is throwing more of a hissy fit that usual at Page (vet says it's because Tehya can smell something different about Page). She doesn't seem to understand why I'm whispering to her more than usual, at most all she's hoping for is the day I get that cone off her neck...
Hug your kitties when you can.
Our pets never live as long as we want them to.

Authors Den
As mentioned in the previous entry, I had attended the Feb. 5th Authors Event in Wesley Chapel, and had come away meeting fellow local authors such as Philip Rice, who recommended to me a website called Authors Den.
It's a directory of independent authors, listings of their works, links to those titles available online, contact info, and so on. I signed up for it. It's a question now of figuring out how to use the site to market myself, to increase interest in my work, so on.
By the way, I still need to pay off this new computer. BUY MY BOOK AND ESHORT!

I Survived The Feb. 5th Local Authors Event in Wesley Chapel
I sold one paperback copy of Last of the Grapefruit Wars and handed out about twelve bookmarks for the eshort story Welcome to Florida. Have to admit most of the book shoppers were curious but few were buying.
I sat next to, by the by, Philip Rice with his memoir Mixed Bag (he was a fellow survivor of the XLibris experience) and also next to Madonna Wise who was promoting a pair of local histories on Zephyrhills.
