City of Legends

Woke up this morning feeling like a lion.  It was good.  Still is…like I was baptized in my sleep.  Still haven’t figured it out and maybe I enevr will and maybe I never should.  Sometimes, if you know how the sausage is made, you stop eating it.

Nevertheless or more…days away from the release of loveaddict, on the trail of my next book and CD, surrounded by, at least in the virtual world, a legion of good friends, admiring readers and the occasional temptation to engage in romantic or erotic brinkmanship, I’m on my game.  No, the world isn’t sunshine and lollipops, many things to grieve or regret.  Friends who have slipped into the grey, continuing stressful personal relationships with some family members, some nagging but so far surmountable health issues (hey, whatever doesn’t kill me just slows me down for the next attack).  Add to this the economy (both personal and external), war, famine, death, pestilence and the inevitability of Na’vi porn on the web and we’re just beginning to scratch the surface. 

I’m good.  Got a thank you note from Selke for including a poem about her in the new book.  A lot of people are very excited about it…now if the final blurbista (you know who you are) could get in gear…ahem.  I want to put this thing to bed so that I can get to work on the next book, to be out BEFORE I go on tour in 2010.

The new book and the new CD are both going to be a bit different.  It is going to be a revelation, after a fashion, an intimacy with my audience beyond anything and everything I have dared previously.
