Bang bang (because it’s bullets, get it?)

  • So that self-centeredness I was talking about yesterday, I don’t think it was a bad thing. It’s no secret that starting in your mid to late 30s you start reevaluating your life. There are definite periods when one must go inward, challenge your beliefs. I think that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s probably been a bit of a challenge for the people around me, adjusting to me addressing my needs where before there was no reason for them to even think I had needs. I hope they love me enough to see that I needed to do it, and I hope that it has made me better able to see their needs as well.
  • I’m reading this book called A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It’s sort of a cross-religion book that talks about the difference between the ego and the spirit. Very enlightening, and I may talk about it more in depth in the future.
  • Out of my holiday to do list, I did finish a few things. One item I checked off was finishing Demon Squad: Armageddon Bound by Tim Marquitz. I’m not a reviewer, so I’ll just give it a thumbs-up. It’s a small publisher, and a new one, at that, so there are a few glitches in the formatting of the text in places, but if you like non-stop action and an engaging hero (despite his demon blood ;) pick it up. It’s only, like, $5. And he’s a nice guy, too.
  • I’m still in my pajamas and I poured coffee in my cereal this morning, instead of milk. I really need to get back into my routine. Kids go back to school tomorrow, hubs went back to work today.
  • My son has informed me he wants to be home schooled so he can spend more time with me. Awww.
  • I’m bored now and I’m sure you are too, so good-bye!

A twist ending

Maybe you all remember the book cover I featured in a post a couple of weeks ago. I’m reading the book now, and so far it’s been very entertaining. The author has been advertising free pdf copies of Armageddon Bound through the 18th. Email him (tim at tmarquitz dot com) by tomorrow, and he says he’ll send you one.

And that leads me to an interesting coincidence involving my chance meeting with Tim and my editing  job at Eternal Press. Here’s the chain of events:

  • I featured Armageddon Bound here because the book’s cover caught my eye on a review blog.
  • The author was kind enough to leave a comment on my blog, and subsequently we connected on a couple of social networking sites
  • Armageddon Bound is published by Damnation Books.
  • The news broke yesterday that Damnation Books is acquiring Eternal Press, my former employer.

So there’s a twist ending to my time at Eternal Press. Dun-dun-dunnnnn. Isn’t that weird? Apparently the owner of Damnation Books is a former editor at Eternal Press. I had no idea there was a connection between the two companies before today. The coincidence is irrelevant because I finished my final assignment a few days ago, but it’s still weird. Actually, the timing makes it weirder. Of course now I’m thinking it’s a sign I shouldn’t have quit, or a sign I did the right thing, or a sign that… You know me. Though I don’t really believe coincidences like these are necessarily a sign to do something, I do think they are God’s way of saying, Pay attention! So I will.
