As I posted last week, I am super busy right now. Plus I still have a few short things to finish off ready for Halloween and the Godless Anniversary (in March). The Christmas, January and February releases are done, they just need formatting and covers. And I'm working on my portfolio. If you head over to the Story Time blog, you can see some of the things I've done so far. By the way, Story Time is open to submissions. The videos on there plus the promo I do for them will be forming part of my portfolio.
Today, I did manage to get an excerpt from The Midnight Pumpkin Fucker uploaded. That joins a few of my other books in having an excerpt. This one is only available on godless, but all links to buy the books are with the excerpts so you don't even need to click through to the book's landing page. I will try to get excerpts from all of my books posted over the course of the summer.
Yesterday was spent at the salon trying to turn my hair pink. The hairdresser was somewhat successful but she's coming tomorrow after work with more toner. I think my hair currently looks great but due to the nature of toner, it won't last one wash. But in a few weeks it'll look like how it does now.

Friday, I actually took some flexitime (which in retrospect, I should have used to get my nails done because they still aren't done). Knowing I'd be at the salon for an unknown length of time on Saturday, I wanted to start dinner early (damn sweet potatoes in the oven, they take ages) and put on the laundry (still didn't manage to wash my sheets or get the floors mopped, but the bathroom and front room were cleaned).
One of the bird rescue groups had a magpie that needed to be picked up from my local vet, otherwise he'd be put to sleep. So I went to get him with about ten minutes to spare. I don't have any experience with magpies, but he needed someone to get him until a rehabber can be found (with bird flu, finding a rehabber is difficult but I was fully prepared to have this bird for a week or so). The vet said his injuries were mainly superficial and he was one lively bird on the way home. But he didn't last the night, which is sad but that's the nature of bird rescue. I think he must have passed at around 430 in the morning because usually when there's a bird in the house, Jerk Face sits outside the door of the room the bird is in all night, but he was screaming in my ears at 430.

And here's some pictures of my hair being done...
And on that thought, I have to try to get that Halloween story finished or close to it now.
