July is over, bring on August!

I was doing some book keeping this morning, seeing as how July has ended and August has begun. All of the sites, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Create Space… all of them have an end report day of the final day of the month. So instead of having my totals lost in oblivion, I used my handy dandy skillz (and they are mad skillz with a Z!) and put them into a table with some formulas. AND I’m looking forward to inputting numbers next week, month, year… and watch the numbers change. Such a nerd. In publishing, numbers count… but you know what means MORE to me then numbers?The...

No Spoiler Review The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Upon recommendation of a friend, I downloaded the audio book, The Sugar Queen by Addison Allen.
