Happy Halloween!
What an exciting day. I finished off A Wolf In Cheap Clothing, had the resident gun expert verify the action sequence for realism and accuracy, and sent it away last night. For those counting, that would be #7. I’m now waiting for editorial feedback. AAaoooo! As soon as I hear back on that, I’ll be doing an ARC giveaway to celebrate.
Catalyst has an official Cerridwen Press release date: 12/21/05. Look for the print version about 6 months out from there, June 06. (Not confirmed, that’s just if things follow the expected course.) And as a side note, royalties are going to Habitat for Humanity (earmarked for Katrina reconstruction) and Rebuildthecoast.org, the organization devoted to rebuilding the homes and businesses. Very crucial to lasting recovery in that region.
And Samhain Publishing’s site goes live tonight. *quivering with excitement*
I wanted to post an excerpt from Wolf to celebrate being done, but the one I want to put up has adult situations and language, so, um, better not. I’ll hold off on that until it can go into its own window with the “you must be over 18 yada yada” warning. BUT I’ll post my werewolf poem here for your reading pleasure. Happy Halloween!
Wilding by Charlene Teglia, copyright 2002
Tonight I’m restless
I’m unsettled and unready
And unable to be anything but restless tonight
Tonight I’m reckless
I’m unfettered and untamed
And unable to be anything but reckless tonight
I’m going prowling
I’m going howling
There’s a wolf-moon out calling
For a midnight wilding
Tonight I’m hungry
I’m uncaged and unquiet
I’m going hunting, swift and hungry, tonight

Well, she committed another poem
Now the WordPress backend to this blog has been updated from 1.2.1 to 1.5.2 and a new SpamKarma 2.0 has been fitted onto it, SOOOOO we should all see a much easier to comment on weblog! If anyone has problems, go ahead and let me know at info@techremedies.com and I will see what I can do about it.

But it’s a werewolf poem, so it’s okay. ; P
Yes, email the husband if spam karma misbehaves. He can give it a spanking. Er, fix it, I mean.

Wooohoooooo! Congrats on finishing another book Charli!
I missed out on Catalyst before, so I’m looking forward to the December release (what a perfect Chrissie pressie to myself
).
I just checked SP, but it’s not up yet, so I guess I’ll have to wait until later in the day. I’m impatient ;o)
Kewl werewolf poem, Charli. We don’t have Halloween here, so it’s always fun for me to see all the hoopla associated with it.
Can’t wait to read the “adult” excerpt LOL

Thank, Jane, every once in a while I like to stuff a poem into the blog just for fun. ; ) And I’m more than happy to have Wolf off my desk and onto my editor’s!
I’m looking forward to Catalyst’s re-release, too. And what a date, the winter Solstice!
