    I’m back! 😎

    For those of you wondering were I’ve been, well, back around the first of May, my Web site got hacked. I did manage to do a blog post about that before the hack completely took the site down.

    Anyway, my Web site guy put the site back up about two weeks later. I did some work on it — and then it got hacked again.

    I kid you not. The very next freaking day.

    Evidently, somebody out there either doesn’t like me or just enjoys trashing people’s sites. Because it was a pretty bad hack with lots of nasty, corrupt files everywhere. Anyway, it took my Web site guy a while to go back through and weed out all the bad files. (Thank you, Justin!)

    The result of which is that now all the information on the site is about two years old. Sigh. I have a backup copy of the info from the last time I updated the site, but it’s going to take me a while to go back through and physically change and reformat all the pages again.

    Anyway, thanks for your understanding and patience. Hopefully, the site will not get hacked again as I (slowly) restore all the old information. But if it does go down again, then that is why. And know that I am working to get it back up as quickly as possible.

    In the meantime, we will return to our regularly scheduled blog posts. I’ve got a ton of books to review, and I’ve managed to see some of the summer blockbuster movies.

    Oh yeah, and I’ve got some news on the Elemental Assassin books to share too. 🙂

    I’m glad to be back!

    I have a lot of love for the TV show How I Met Your Mother. So you can imagine my delight when I saw a link for T-shirts with sayings from the show.

    I might have to get one of these to go with my A-Team T-shirt. 😉

    What are you reading right now?

    I’m working my way through The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It’s basically an epic fantasy heist book about a group of thieves called the Gentlemen Bastards. Pretty cool, so far.

    In the near future, I plan to read Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas; What A Scoundrel Wants by Carrie Lofty; and Lover Avenged by J.R. Ward, along with a stack of fantasy books that I have.

    What about you guys? What are you reading right now? Share in the comments. And happy reading this weekend!

    Spring is evidently the busy season because I’ve been absolutely slammed with stuff to do these last two weeks.

    I did a Q&A at a library; judged some student communication portfolios at a local college; went to hear another author speak at that same library; started e-mailing folks about potential ads for Spider’s Bite in February; finished up Quiver, my young adult fantasy; and started writing Blackberry Falls, my contemporary romance.

    Oh yeah, and I’ve got a big project at the day job to finish this week.

    Gah! Is it Friday yet? :rolleyes:

    Hope your week is a little calmer than mine!
