Happy New Year!

We are back from our Christmas visit to K&J&R where we ate and drank and were merry, saw the wonderful and brilliant [livejournal.com profile] toft_froggy, played many excellent games, including hide and seek with a tiny person and the highly addictive Zeus on the Loose, and OF COURSE watched Ghost Watch.

While I was away, the cover art to The Never-Ending Sacrifice was released: article about 2009/2010 Trek releases here or cut straight to big image here. I think it's smashing.

Last year I wrote a novel and a short story or two, read many books and essays, became a godmother, and I have landed in 2009 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Today I'm going to do the washing, finish Anne Enright's The Gathering, make a planetarium, and perhaps catch up on some email. Happy New Year to you all, may your eyes too be bright and your tails extremely bushy.

GOrgeous cover! And a Happy New Year to you too.

Oh no, I am so SHALLOW. I love that cover so much it really, REALLY makes me want to read the book (as opposed to just really wanting to read it because you wrote it) :)

Belated congratulations on becoming a godmother. My own godson has just told me he's put university on hold as he's going to play professional rugby. I can't wait to go and watch!

I love the cover so much it makes ME want to read the book!

So far the godmotherly state has been wonderful. I wonder if one day she'll come and tell me she's going to play professional rugby! How fantastic for your godson, and what an excellent decision. University can certainly wait.
