Oliver & Vincent go to Japan

Oliver and Vincent have gone to Japan! Loose Id has sold the Japenese language rights to Bound by Deception and Bound to Him. The Japenese publisher bundled both books together in one paperback. The title translates to "Noble Aroma Forbidden Love"...well, at least according to the Google-translated Amazon Japan page.

It's my 1st foreign rights sale for an Ava book, and it's very exciting. I was totally geeked when I found out about it. And the cover....it's full of awesome goodness. Love how Vincent's so commanding. He even has his whip ;)

Oliver & Vincent's jaunt to Japan distracted me for a bit, but I was able to ungeek enough to get some work done on Thief over the weekend. I finished chapter 2 and have eeked into chapter 3. I need to write a chapter a week in order to finish by the end of August. And there's no possibility to push out deadlines as Fortune Hunter and Rogues are also due this year. So I need to keep moving on Thief. If you don't see me around the interwebz much, it's because I'm busily typing away.

In other news, I have learned that goldfish are predators. We took home 4 little fish from kidlet's school at the end of the school year. Not thinking anything of it, we put them in the tank with the 4 big goldfish. Then about a week later, we noticed there were only 2 little fish swimming around and looking rather worried. Um... A day later, only 1 little fish. He was a bit bigger than his little fallen fellows, so we thought he'd be fine. Um....nope. Not fine. We now only have 4 big goldfish in the tank. No little fishes. Kidlet called the goldfish 'jerks'. I agreed with her.
