Well, folks, I have recovered from unloading and storing the 2000 books. I've already managed to throw away two cartons -- some sold, some given away as review or complimentary copies. Progress.
A couple of weeks ago I was at my dentist's, Midcoast Dentistry, and I promised that I would write a blog entry about my visit. To be fair, I didn't tell them that it would be about how I sat staring fixedly at the light, just praying for it to be over. I did tell Kayla, the technician, that I really miss the old swish and spit cups as I sat there clutching this suction gadget, ineffectively running it through my mouth periodically, then swallowing heaven knows what. Now, Dr. Randy, did you really think I was going to say it was really fun and what a wonderful time I had? Be reasonable. That's just not in the nature of dental beasts! Let me end by saying that, as horrifying an experience a trip to the dentist's is by nature, Dr. Randy and Kayla do what they can to make the experience less painful.
The really big news this week is that I finally pried myself out of the house and started visiting libraries and bookstores in my area. The result has been fantastic. Most of the bookstores have taken the book or are seriously considering it, (we're talking about STOLEN FIELDS in case you're wondering or have been living in a cave for the last few months), and the libraries have been receptive as well. The old actress in me is stirring and I'm looking forward to meeting and greeting, and telling stories to a rapt audience. The experience is whetting my appetite for the upcoming book tour in June and subsequent appearances. I feel like Norma Desmond! (See "Sunset Boulevard").
