Update Oct. 7 2012

Lots to tell you about since my last post. :-)

My hubby who is currently incarcerated in Southern Illinois has served 10 months of his 21 month sentence for his 4th DUI, and he's now in general population after being moved from Western Illinois to his current location three months ago.  I am eagerly awaiting his release and so is he. :-)

Work is going fine.  I am still regular part time, but I've been getting 30 hours a week for the last month.  This is due to my department being short staffed.  With my eye on the future and the fact they have begun interviewing to staff my department, I put in for a full time position.  I am hoping to be interviewed and know something definitive in the next week or two.

I finished The Crimson Knight.  It is available at Amazon.com in paperback and is available exclusively for the Kindle ereader series at Kindle.com as well as Amazon.com.  I am currently working on a major rewrite of Blood of a Friend and while I had planned on it being finished a released in its new form, it doesn't look like that's going to happen any time soon.  Darkness With, a poetry collection, is also in the works.  I need to get the cover art done for it and finish some arranging before I submit it for publication.  I plan to publish it in ebook form for the Kindle series as well.

I got a cat.  His name is Samson.  He's a former stray now living the best life he's ever had.  He's an older cat, around 9-10 years of age.  He's litter box trained and very sweet for a cat who lived on the streets.  My guess is he was abandoned after being a house cat during his formative years.  I am currently getting him fattened up since he was all skin and bones.  I feed him plenty of protein and carbs to help him regain muscle mass.  So far he's doing fine.

Check out my blog Krafty Katt to see what I've been doing in that department - I've been quite creative!
