Just another Misadventureless Monday, now featuring the Excessively Hospitable Work Environment!



Congrats to Trix, who won Worth a Shot (FIT Guys #2) by Kim Dare!



No new edition of the Misadventures in Stock Photography today, alas. I’m still going to do the Misadventures a couple of Mondays each month, but I’m not going to stress over it every week anymore. Plus today’s my first migraine-free day since early last week – I’m not sure I have it in me to be witty today. Carry on!

“What May said!” -Chaos

I love how, if you embiggen this photo, you can see part of a Chaos Kitty eye and nose behind May.

Today’s Misadventure has been called due to pain



Congrats to BlackAsphodel, who won Dumped in Oz (Tales from Kansas #1) by Andrew Grey! Dumped in Oz will be released by Dreamspinner Press on January 15.



Back on Christmas Eve, I did something to my hip – it felt like a pinched nerve and was getting better, but over the past week it’s gotten a lot worse. Friday I had an MRI – hopefully the results will be back today so they can figure out what’s up. I haven’t been able to focus very well, so no Misadventure today. (But hey, at least my foot’s a lot better…)

“I hope Mom feels better soon! She’s been very hurty.” -Mayhem

Today’s Misadventure has been called because migraine



Congrats to Urbanista, who won the signed paperback copies of The Replacement Guitarist (2nd ed) and Home for the Holidays (The Replacement Guitarist #2) (2nd ed) by Lori Toland!

Congrats to Marie, who won Christmas Serendipity by Liam Livings! Christmas Serendipity was released by JMS Books on December 8.



“Actually, it’s nice when Mom has a migraine because she takes naps and lies really still in the dark and likes it when I snuggle with her!!” -Mayhem

The week in which training ate linkity



Congrats to dana, who won Freeman (2nd ed) by Clare London!

Congrats to Crissy M, who won the Blooming Marvellous anthology by Josephine Myles!



Today is my last day of training, fortunately – long days in front of the computer learning really complicated stuff (BizTalk Server 2013, in case you were curious) have left me in a hopefully not-permanent stupor. Sorry – I just can’t spend any more time in front of the computer today. 🙁 And I’m really jealous of Chaos right now!!

“…so sleepy…” -Chaos

Misadventures Vacation, Week 8

The Misadventures vacation continues! Things should be back to normal next Monday.

I’ll be in training classes for work all week, which is going to make for a looooong week for me. Especially with juggling car repairs in a completely different suburb. How’s everyone else doing? 🙂


“I’ve got my eye on you, Mom. Don’t try to sneak any naughty boys past me or anything!” -Mayhem

Misadventures Vacation, Week 7

The Misadventures vacation continues! Should I resume next week, or go for an even eight weeks? Tune in next week to see what I decide! Since I’m suddenly going to a week of training for work next week… 🙂

Unpacked. Most things have been put away, although it’s likely quite a few things will be shifted about.


“Go away – can’t you see I’m busy basking here?” -Mayhem

Misadventures vacation, Week 6



Congrats to Joder, who won Stranded by Andrew Grey! Stranded is being released by Dreamspinner Press today.



The Misadventures vacation continues! Maybe next Monday…but mostly likely the following one. I’m at the point in unpacking where all of the boxes are empty, but heaps of stuff are strewn everywhere. Where did all this stuff come from?! Where is all of it going to go?!?!

Apologies to anyone who’s emailed me over the past few weeks – I’m really, really behind in my email. 🙁

At least the big front windows are a hit with the kitties. 🙂

“…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…” -Mayhem
