They LIKE us!

They really really LIKE us!

One of the reviewers at loveromancesandmore.com just gave Double Dog #4 a very, VERY nice review:

This is a rollicking fun fantasy story that takes “The Arabian Nights” to new levels. Ms. Fletcher’s characters are fun and witty...This reviewer spent a wonderful afternoon reading this story and enjoyed every minute of it. This is another author that this reviewer needs to check up on.

Plus, we received a five heart score -- now THAT'S a nice way to start off a Sunday!

It's a lovely day in the clavicle of Texas

Today will be spent working on not one, not two but THREE short stories (two of which are in polishing stage, one which is in first draft stage) and letting Lyndon sleep -- he has toothache, poor baby, and is on Vicodin and antibiotics until his appointment in 2.5 weeks when the dentist will remove his amalgam fillings and replace them with resin.

Oddly enough, the dentist couldn't see anything wrong on the X-rays (the amalgam replacement is more of a "just in case" thing for health reasons), and the pain keeps shifting from his lower front jaw to his upper front jaw, which could be referred pain from a sinus infection. We're hoping that the antibiotics will take care of that -- in the meantime, he's a hurting bunny because he's trying to make the Vicodin last until the appointment.

However. Despite being in pain, he has just constructed a quad-core Hackintosh (homebrew computer that runs Mac OSX) from various bits. He SO rules.

Match It for Pratchett

As some of you may already know, Terry Pratchett, author of the insanely popular Discworld fantasy series, has been diagnosed with a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. He has just donated $1,000,000 (£500,000) to Alzheimer's research, and is appearing in the media highlighting the low levels of research funding Alzheimer's receives. Loyal readers from around the world have responded with a goal to match Terry's donation. If 500,000 fans each donated two bucks, that would do it.

If you have a friend, relative or loved one who suffers from this disease, you know why it needs to be cured. If you don't, consider yourself lucky that you never had to sit and watch while someone you loved slowly disappeared. And if you're a fan of Terry Pratchett, you know why we can't let this beat him. Please donate.
