It’s June, Faustketeers, the Royal Birthday Month, so visit my wish list and act accordingly.

I’ve already received two desperately needed but not-really-what-I-wanted birthday gifts. The first is an extension on my deadline. In all seriousness, this latest book has been the toughest yet for me. It’s been painfully slow going from day one, and I’m still nowhere near where I want to be. I was hoping to take a breather in June and enjoy some much needed downtime, but that’s just not gonna be possible. So the grind continues…

The other questionable but necessary gift is another day-job project. Because, you know, rent and all that. So instead of a nice relaxing Birthday Month, I get to work double shifts for the next two weeks.

Send chocolate. And bakelite.
