Slowly, bit by bit, things are returning to normal. Fray Day is done (except for the video editing and recaps), the Virtual Book Tour has blown through (I’ve archived the page here if you want to see what the TOTQ Virtual Book Tour Edition looked like), and now it’s back to client work, hammering on the new Inkblots and hanging out with Kate. This weekend I’m going to be arm candy to Kate’s old college roommate’s wedding – a weekend where I will also be meeting her dad for the first time. Wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
BTW, that last bit was just to further provoke Kate. No worries.
No, really. 😉
