Not me or Mom (fortunately), but [profile] hundakleptisis
.
It ain't fair, Just a few days after his first novel, Cyberius III, was published in December 2005, he landed in the hospital. Fast forward eighteen months, his new novel, Poseidon VII, has been released by Samhain with a beautiful cover by Vanessa Hawthorne, (the thumbnail above doesn't do it justice) and guess what... (sigh) He's back in the hospital.  Fortunately, it's a lot less serious than it was last time. Unfortunately, hundakleptisis will probably remain in captivity--er, a patient for at least a week. Which makes it kind of hard to share the book video and excerpts.  Or it would, but I figure there's no reason why somebody else can't do the honors on his behalf.  

First, for your viewing pleasure, here's
a link to Poseidon VII's very first video (drumroll, please).

Second is a link to the book itself.  The blurb is actually too modest.  This is one of those SF romances that scorches the pixels.  I should know.  I was one of the first beta readers.  And more important (to us genre geeks, anyway) the science and worldbuilding are really cool.  You can get a taste of the worldbuilding in the Samhain excerpt.  I'll see if I can't find something a little more combustible for the romance junkies too, but it may take me a while.  You know I'll get distracted reading.  :-)

This has been a heck of a day--in the best possible way.  

- The print edition of With Nine You Get Vanyr went on sale.
- Preditors & Editors posted the results of their
2006 SF/fantasy Poll--and VANYR made #2.  (Thank you!  Thank you! to everyone who voted.)
- My bookmarks arrived (and they're gorgeous!)
- My local Walden's asked when I'd like a signing.

Whew!  
qnotku would've been so proud.  To celebrate, I'm...

If you have any good thoughts, healing wishes, prayers, juju or anything else that might help, please, send it to Bethesda, MD, today.  qnotku suffered a major heart attack while on the road to a pre-surgical seminar early Sunday evening.  (Yeah, the irony is killing, ain't it?)  She was taken to Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD, where she's currently in the cardiac ICU.  While you're at it, if you can spare any healing thoughts for her dh, hundakleptis, please, send those along too.  He's staying with her tonight.
I'll post more information as soon as I have any.

Some people will do ANYTHING to avoid putting up holiday decorations...
As qnotku's friends know, a severe attack of pancreatitis sent her dh, hundakleptisis, to the hospital on Monday. Then there was the scary 3:30 a.m. phone call yesterday.
Today it was qnotku who made the trip to the emergency room. (Fortunately, tree was there to help out. Thanks tree!) The hospital admitted her too and is evaluating whether or not she needs surgery for her hernia.
I told qnotku that if she kept this up I would just drag a Yule Log into the ward and light it there. She fell asleep in the middle of the sentence. That's implied permission, right? After all, she didn't DISAGREE with me, right? ;-)
Seriously, qnotku sends her love and thanks for all the responses to her earlier post.
Hugs,
Jean Marie
