Also a few weeks ago, I went out to lunch at an interesting little place near the university with some fellow librarians. It was nice enough to eat outside, and the cherry blossoms rained down on us in force.

The restaurant we ate at had a Jolly Box.

No, seriously. Check out the sign on the box.

Sadly, there was only coffee creamer and packets of sugar inside. False advertising!

Then, we wandered over to a quick mart and low and behold, proof that we were near a college campus!

Yes, they now sell ready made beer pong. Whodathunkit?

My partners in crime, the Prairie Debutante on the left, who can charm people out of the deepest funk and make them play nice together, which is a scary superpower to have, and Dr. Revolution on the right, for when you absolutely, positively must overthrow someone. Accept no substitute. It’s the artfully knotted scarf that gives her away. Always be wary of people in scarves!

Just got the new cover for my Wasteland: The Wanderer book which will come out May 4th from Samhain. Read an excerpt of my story here. Also, if you want a desktop image of all the cool covers in this series, check this out.

And here’s the book video for the whole Wasteland series!

Don’t forget to wear green today!

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There’s no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don’t scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

I downloaded a bunch of pics off my camera the other day, so I thought I’d post them for you.

First, I don’t think I posted the pic of when Diana Pharaoh Francis and I went on our book signing marathon on Christmas Eve.

Then a few weeks ago, I came to work to find the library on fire. Or at least there was a smoking outlet on the 7th or 8th floor. It meant chilling outside in the cold for an hour or three waiting for them to okay the building. We went and got coffee, but first we admired the firemen. And their trucks.

And policemen. And their cars. And their fine, efficient work, of course.

See how we at the library admired?

I just realized I haven’t announced my big news here on my blog. Last week, I sold a new three book deal to Kensington Aphrodisia. Yay!

These are sequels to books I already have contracted with them. The first is a sequel to On the Prowl, the second is a follow up to Every Witch Way (which comes out in April of 2011 and will have a different titles by then), and the third is a sequel to Untamed.

In a double yay, I’ve also been invited into a new shapeshifter anthology, which will feature a sequel to the upcoming Sexy Beast 9 novella. Lots of series stories coming at you.

Shhhhhh! Mad Madam M here…I’ve hacked into Crys’ blog to bring you cute pictures of animals. I’ve found Googling “cute animals” is the answer to all of life’s questions or problems…well aside from 42. Get ready to awwwww….

Not sure what animal this is or if it’s just a photoshopped image, but it sure is cute…

I would love to come across this grouping of animals while riding my bike to work. Sure I know I’d have to be on some major allergy meds, but it was sure make my morning!

I have no words. Simply too cute for words.

I say let the bunny have a cookie! He’s just so cute…

That’s all I have for now. Tune in next time for dogs and puppies in costumes!

Yesterday and today, I have night classes to teach. I’m a morning person, so this is no good. Plus, I’m getting rid of a lingering cold. In other words, you won’t see much of me this week, but I leave you with something funny to watch in my absence.
