AUGUST – ON THE ROAD!
What Was That?
Sam Lucky at the keys …
Things have been happening around here lately, a passing breeze, a flash in the corner of my eye when glance behind me in an attempt to catch sight of the blur and quiet flurry that moves about in the house. Papers flutter on my desk in its wake, curtains sway. Occasionally, if I listen carefully, there is a faint buzzing, or cheeping, maybe a yatter, at the edge of my senses as the phenomenon occurs. It reminds me of the Star Trek episode in which a group of aliens commandeers the Enterprise to use as a vessel to take them home, wherever that is. The aliens move so quickly that Captain Kirk and his crew can’t see them, they only hear buzzing, as if insects have invaded the ship. It’s like that. It was distressing for them, and it’s disconcerting to me.
It’s Ann, of course, busting her butt to finishing up the third book in her Dig Site Series, Chewed Up by the Jungle. It wouldn’t be such a brouhaha but for the fact that we are also preparing to set sail for Deadwood for a few book signings and talks. You can catch her there on Thursday, September 21st, at the Rapid City Public Library; then Friday, September 22nd for a History on the Lawn talk at the Adam’s House – Undertaking: a History of Coffin Joints, then Saturday the 23rd for a book signing at Chubby Chipmunk Hand Dipped Chocolates (YES, it happens to be her birthday and NO, it’s not just by chance). I just realized she already put the schedule in down below. Scroll down to see the whole thing.
I’d better go, the buzzing is back.
