We arrived at the Lambda Literary Awards just in time to find out that I’d lost. But it was a hell of a show, and quite a trip.  In other curious news: my new book, A Field Guide to Deception, has been postponed until October.  Why is this? Well, August is a lousy release date, and October is significantly better—fall and spring release dates are ideal if you can manage them.  And Bywater Books has now contracted with Michele Karlsberg to handle the press’s publicity.  This is a huge deal.  Michele Karlsberg’s clients include Dorothy Allison and Kate Clinton to name a couple.  And the idea is to give adequate time to publicize the new book—get blurbs, and an ARC, and hopefully some reviews.   

All in all, not the trip I expected, but one that I enjoyed.  My editor and I even took a carriage ride through Central Park, which was mad touristy, and really pleasant.   

A little more sleep, and a visit to the watch repair shop, and I’ll be an entirely new girl.  Or anyway, much more like the old one.
