Good news... I made Secondborn a glorious cobalt blue ball gown today, for her to wear to her brother's wedding next month (curse these people who want black tie weddings). But it fits her. And looks gorgeous. I am feeling very smug.

Bad news... Because I spent most of the day sewing, I only got 941 words done on the Chaos Crystal today.

Good news... In between all the sewing, I got the movie review written on time for Die Hard 4.0 and even got to the studio on time to do the on-air stuff. Yipeeki-a:)

Bad news... Orbit emailed me to this morning to inform me the UK release of the Hythrun Chronicles has been put back to May 08 for Wolfblade, July 08 for Warrior and September 08 for Warlord because of "artwork issues".  Whatever that means. Sorry, UK readers. You'll have to wait a little longer, or order the US editions off Amazon UK.

Good news... I finally figured out why the overlocker wasn't sewing properly.

Bad news... it took me two freakin' hours to figure out why the overlocker wasn't working properly.

Good news... Secondborn actually found a pair of cobalt blue shoes to go with her dress. In Kmart of all places.

Bad news... they're a size too large and she's decided my sewing machine should be strong enough to sew through leather to fix them.

Good news... Secondborn has been telling all her friends what a fabulous mother and brilliant seamstress I am.

Bad news... Secondborn has now volunteered me to make a dress for one of her friends on the weekend, too.

So, between sewing, writing and cursing all things mechanical, I've had a very busy day. But now I have to write 1630 word a day to catch up. Oh, well...

Oh no! They can't put off the Wolfblade trilogy for another 9 months in the UK! That's cruel!!!!! Why are we always the last to get these things?

I agree. It's not fair. What's the reason for the delay?

It's something to do with them not liking the "direction" of the cover art. That's all I know.

Hey, on the bright side, at least they emailed me this time and told me about it, and I didn't find out the new dates by looking it up on Amazon, which is what usually happens with Orbit... LOL

You can get the US editions in hardcover from Amazon UK, or if you want the softcovers, go to galaxybooks.com.au and they'll ship to the UK.

Could you make me a Regency gown for Conflux? I'll give you a whole month to make it.

In my spare time, Trudi? hahahahahahahahahah

No Fair! I'm going to email Orbit and complain! Why can't they just copy the US cover like they did for Second Sons?

I'm not waiting. I just finished the Demon Child Trilogy so I'm going to order it online today. I thought I only had another couple of months to get my hands on Wolfblade. I'm not waiting another 9 months.

Good idea about emailing Orbit. We should start a campaign!

We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!

hahaha

Hehe I feel for you guys, I really do. But I'm so happy its not Australia that is behind for once :-)

Go ahead... rub it in. Grrrrrr.

I'm with the "it's not fair" lobby". Can I add my chant?

We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!

We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!
We want Wolfblade!

*sigh* I shall go back to sulking now
