The idea of the Book Readers Appreciation Group's B.R.A.G. Medallion is pretty cool -- the indie-book version of the Good Housekeeping seal.

So I did a little dance, as much as you can dance while sitting in a computer chair, when The Opposite of Magic got a medallion. Yay!

My life's been so crazy this year that Project No. 2 -- a trilogy -- has been slow going. It'll be done in roughly a decade at the rate I have time to work on it. But whenever I do snatch a few hours here and there, I get that fizzy this-is-fun feeling. As much as intrigue and assassination attempts can properly be described as "fun."
