I’d jump for joy if I could! There is now a title for Ghost Dusters 4 - YAY!
It will be called DEAD SUITE.
No release date yet but when I
know, you’ll know.
I’ve also finished
Book 5 of the Ghost Dusters - double YAY!!
I’m happily plugging away at the edits these days but I’m
still experiencing excruciating shoulder pain (boo hiss). After weeks of physio, cold
laser therapy, acupuncture and a cortisone shot I can safely say … I’m exactly
the same, if not worse. Sigh. Surgery pending but don’t know when.
So in muted celebration here are some random things I’ve
learned over the last few weeks:
* We use our shoulders for practically every movement and
you don’t know that until scratching an itch makes you want to punch someone in the face.
* It’s possible to name a character Eddy in one book then
totally forget him and name another random character Eddy in the next.
* I miss lemon meringue pie.
* Having a vacation to look forward to is one of my most
favorite things.
* Having a book release to look forward to is even better.
* Wanting a new laptop is great but doing all the research
to find a good one sucks all the joy out of it.
* That also applies to printers.
* When you’re hurting and miserable your dog will become an
unruly, attention-seeking pain in the ass.
* If you clean out the vanity in your bathroom and discover a
dozen nearly empty tubes of Aveeno hand cream, you may have a hand cream
obsession.
* It is possible to love your physiotherapist and also hate
her with a white hot fire that makes you want to skin her alive.
* Drinking coffee does not work well with most medications.
* I care more about my coffee habit than my stomach.
* I can read the same page ten times before I find one error but it only takes my editor one time to find ten errors.
So what are random things you’ve discovered lately?

So exciting two have two Ghost Dusters to look forward to. Sorry about the shoulder. I just pulled something in mine (not to steal your thunder) and have a bit of discomfort, so I can only imagine how bad yours must be. I hope the surgery gives you some much needed relief. I like your list of random observations. Very funny!
Thanks,Leslie! Be very careful of your shoulder. Mine started with a very minor injury but I wasn't as careful or as proactive as I should've been.
Oh no *gasp*, Wendy, it sucks to have good winter boots go to waste. Seriously though *hugs* for the damn foot.
Yay for the great title and for working on #5. I'm so happy you got the series started again. =o) Sorry about your shoulder, though. It's hard to get excited about the good things in life when you hurt. :hugs:
Heh, I felt the same way about my physical therapist - George. I loved that man, but the things he did to me made me want to shove his head through a plate-glass window. ;o)
One random thing I discovered (and was recently reminded of) is that my big loveable laid-back cat, Max, turns into a psycho shredding machine at bath time and medicine time.
Thanks Wendy! I'm trying to be careful, but as you said it's so hard when you need your shoulder for everything. ;o(
Take it as easy as you can!
Are you still going to physio, B.E.? Has George been wearing a helmet (just in case)? Sounds like Max knows how to say NO ha ha!
Leslie, try to do lots of icing when it hurts
Congrats on your book title. I'm happy to know there will be a fifth book. Yahoo!
Sorry about the shoulder.
No, Wendy. This was years ago. (Ack, now that I think about it, almost 19 years ago. Shows how big an impression George made on me, though.)
I am now having phantom pain my shoulder thinking about my poor sister :( It is amazing how you can overcome such pain and write amazing books I am so proud. My random observation is how I have tooo many shoes but still have a need to obtain more. Take care!
