1. Submitted a haunted house story (true!) to Strange Horizons. I have no idea how it will be received but giving it a shot makes me feel good. If it doesn't make it, I'll keep trying elsewhere. It's another blend of fact and fiction which is in my comfort zone, but not Alaska or flying so outside it as well. But it's on its way so that's all good.

2. April column is done! I'll send that tomorrow after a reread for typos.

3. Finished The Boneshaker by Kate Milford (for the May column) and loved it. And emailed Kate and it looks like she will be interviewed for the Summer Blog Blast Tour which...

4....will be the week of May 17th. We are now all in the interview scheduling phase and as usual, looks like it will be fabulous.

5. I've finished the two wish lists at Powells Books for the TBD in April. We'll be trying to get folks to buy books to help a couple of reservation schools (one in AZ and one in NM). More info to follow shortly (the wish lists go active on April 7).

6. Finished a biography of Jack London who wrote an amazing amount of books considering he was only 42 when he died. I am now officially extremely impressed.

7. Sent off two more reviews for Booklist - I am swamped with Booklist this month but it's all good reading. Only one left by the end of the month.

8. Determined multiple links between my father and Jack Kerouac which has convinced me that yet again, every single damn thing I write is really more about my family then anything else. (I might as well just stop fighting this and accept it is who I am as a writer.)

9. Started The Shadow Hunt by Katherine Langrish (reminding me of Ladyhawke in a good way) and Rowing to Sweden: Essays on Faith, Love, Politics and Movies by Fredrick Barton (very good). On deck: For the Win by Cory Doctorow, Total Oblivion, More or Less by Alan DeNiro, and Carrier by Bonnie Rough. Three reviews to write: The Boneshaker, Foiled by Jane Yolen and Captivity by Deborah Noyes.

10. Many errands run (checks deposited, dinner items purchased, prescriptions (which went up AGAIN) picked up and library books returned and new ones checked out (for the boy). If I run this weekend then I will truly feel caught up on everything....which is almost too shocking to contemplate!
