That’s it, it’s a “special edition” and not late at all. Right? Yeah, I don’t believe me either. On to the cats.
The sun, it melts me. I die.
That’s not melting. THIS is melting.
The Russian judge gives your entire competition a 3.5. Just sad.
Oh my team! Oh the felinity!
You cats are embarrassing the rest of us. Stop it. Now.
I concur with my colleague, Pippin the fluffernut.
Srsly, what’s up with these McCullough cats and their showbiz ways?
I think it’s a disgrace.
Real cats hide from cameras carried by people named McCullough. Like this.
And now for something completely different…
Can’t touch this! I will kill you with my mind.
Why are you down playing with the dogs when you should be up here giving me treats?
There. Much better, serving catkind as thumb-monkeys were born to do.
I know where the eggnog went…hic.
I did not get any eggnog!
Wha’ makes you think I had any eggsgenog?
Screw nog, go for the nip!
Thish is the besht nog evah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, laugh it up back there.
Nog for Princess. Nog now.
Jush a sec, I’ll get it for you.
Did you hears something sneaking up behind me?
No. Not this time. Not that last time. In fact, never. Nothing is sneaking up behind you.*
That’s snow moon! That’s a polar bear sneaking up behind Jordan!
Whatvever dudes! I’m just gonna chill here and think about The Hobbit.
Me too, awesome trainwreck of a movie.
And on a completely different note. Tail crosshairs engaged on target.
Firing space based kitten cannon in 3.2.1…
Dude this is the strangest cat blog I’ve ever been in.
It’s because I’m trapped under a Princess. If I move, she’ll kill me. Send help.
*Why, yes, that is an advance copy of Martha Wells’ Emilie and the Hollow World,
and it is all mine!
I am not amused with your silly camera.
Koo-koo-kachoo
You have irritated me, I will destroy you with my mind.
You humans sit funny. Like dis. What’s up with that?
I was gonna sit there, but you’re in my sun. Deal.
I AM beauty.
Come ‘ere, I’m a smack you one.
I still want to know where the water goes.
Bring me a…tunafish!
Crazy eyes, moi?
Hey Girl!
Does this foot taste funny to you?
I was going to kill you, but then I decided to take a lil nap insteadzzzzz.
But where does the water GO?!?
So, I have a new book out today. It’s called Crossed Blades and it’s the third of the Fallen Blade books, though it’s intended to be read either on its own or as part of the series. I think it’s the best one so far, and I’m really pleased with it. But I’m the author, and that means I’m biased. If you’d like to read a sample chapter, you can find one here. The first review is over here. If you want a signed copy, you can order them via Uncle Hugo’s. It can also be found at all the usual places, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Indiebound, etc.
I will be out and about in the Twin Cities reading and signing. Nov 29th, 7:00 pm, I will be having a reading and signing at the Har Mar Barnes and Noble in Roseville MN. On Dec 1st, 1:00 pm, I shall be at Uncle Hugos in Minneapolis signing books with the wonderful Kelly Barnhill. Yep, that’s right, two Kellys for one low price.
With the holidays coming up, it occurs to me that you might want to find signed copies of my books as gifts. Should that be the case, they can usually be found mail order on my page at Uncle Hugo’s. And, if I happen to be doing a signing there, as I am on December 1st, you can also put in a special request for personalized signatures, and they can often make accommodations.
