Category: Stories from the Matrix

  Yesterday I sorted the book orders into several stacks – the ‘official’ pre-pub payments, and the ‘late’ payments, then sorted the ‘official’ ones into Canada/US.  I had just enough envelopes to do the Canadian ‘official’ ones, so I dealt with those first. Then I wrote out mailing labels.  By the time I finished those,…

  Yesterday the ‘sample’ copy of Stories from the Matrix arrived.  It looks better than I expected in some ways, and of course, me being me, it…isn’t ‘perfect’. And I decided what the hell.  You gotta be warped to weave and all.  So what if we didn’t get the ‘accepted’ format.  It’s still a book.…

This morning FedEx tells me that Stories from the Matrix will be delivered Monday, July 17. Now is the time to pay for your order (if you still want it – let me know if you do not) and as soon as the books arrive I will get them signed and package them up ready…

  When I saw what I had done on this warp I had to decide – do I re-thread it or leave it be? I left out a section of the threading very near the beginning, in spite of all my checks.  When you have brain fog, sometimes you lose your way.  So the design…

  Yesterday I was asked for a copy of the cover for a book review.  I didn’t have one, which was a huge oversight on my part! So this morning I managed to get one that I could share on social media because while things are not yet set in cement, it is close enough…

  You may have guessed that there is a reason I have been using this image when discussing Stories from the Matrix – it is the image we have selected for the cover art.  🙂 While we were gone my editor poured the coals on and yesterday came over with the ‘final’ version of the…
