News Flash: July 27

Cabin addition update: Michael built the floor to my new office on Saturday!! Squee!
  1. I’ll be removing the last of the download codes from the Oracle audiobook giveaway in a few hours. As of writing this blog post (according to my end)(there is a delay in the reporting), there are 10 UK codes remaining. The next giveaway goes live at 3pm PDT next Saturday, Aug 1.
  2. The Reconstructionist audiobooks have found a narrator! Whitney Dykhouse!! Whitney is booked until the end of August, so she will start recording in September and the first book should be available in October (depending on upload times, which are currently taking 30+ days). With the next two books following a month apart.
  3. Amplifier 4 is off to the editor for line/content edit! So as soon as I get my hands on a book cover, the preorder will go live. Whoot! I’ll be doing a BUNCH of promos/marketing through Aug/Sept, including temporarily making Amplifier 0 free (yep!) and more audiobook giveaways.
  4. I broke my glasses yesterday. I’m pissed about it because I paid an obscene amount for these frames hoping they could last at least ten years. Sounds like the frames need to be shipping off to Japan for repair (if they can be repaired), which means I have to buy new frames so I can continue functioning. To that end, I have a ‘shopping’ appointment at 10:30am today. I loathe shopping for anything, but trying to buy glasses while wearing a mask is going to be delightful. Hopefully, I find something serviceable quickly!!
  5. We’re reading Grave Memory (Alex Craft 3) for the MCD book club over on the Facebook fan page until Friday, then we will start discussing book 4 (leading up to the new release in August)!

Have a great week!!

  1. I am liking the Monday News Flashes. A lot of exciting news! Good luck in finding some glasses. Have a great rest of the week!

  2. I recommend Zenni.com for your eyewear. Been getting glasses from there for at least 10 years (made in Ontario). My daughter used to play hockey so glasses were always a problems. My hubby told me to try Zenni (why not???) and like I said,.. more than 10 years later still going back. I have no affiliation to them so no other incentive than getting cool eyewear for a decent price. Just a thought.

  3. I broke my glasses as well 😭

    Luckily, I have a backup pair because with the ever increasing numbers of COVID-19 in Florida, there is no way I am going out and exposing my eyeballs at a vision center.

    However, if I were in Canada, especially on the BC islands, I would definitely make an appointment for new frames. My son is in Victoria so I have a pretty good idea how well BC has handled this pandemic.

    Good luck with the repair and the new pair!

    1. I still had to wear a mask and not put back any of the glasses I touched but it was fairly painless. I don’t like the frames but they didn’t have much selection so I picked the best if the bunch. I think.

  4. The addition looks great. I like the idea of new glasses but hate trying them on as they all start looking the same to me 🙄 Glad you were able to find a pair.
