eBay auctions of the tenth-anniversary edition of Lost Souls, my handmade traycased The Value of X, and a pretty blank journal are ending later today. Copies of The Lazarus Heart in my Big Testosterone Sale are still available too. For those readers who aren't eBay customers, thanks for your patience with these millions of announcements.

Three new eBay auctions posted: a tenth-anniversary deluxe edition of Lost Souls, a blank journal I think came out especially pretty, and, in a twist on the book covers I've been making, a traycased copy of The Value of X with my own artwork. There's still a little time left to bid on the book auctions, too, and some good deals there.

Stayed up all night making collages. Gotta get with Grey and figure out how to photograph these things so people can see them.

The mail continues to bring treats, including a signed copy of Caitlín's The Drowning Girl. Very much looking forward to reading this one. Thank you, greygirlbeast!

When people send me things from my wish list, I like to send them actual, physical thank-you notes. Unfortunately, Amazon no longer includes ( Read more... )

Also: blank book auctions ending this evening (the last two listings in the store).

So back when I was making blank books a couple of years ago, one of my biggest problems was that I wanted to use photographic images in my collages, but didn't want to steal them from their creators or mess with getting dozens of permissions.

I don't like to admit it, but I have sometimes wished for the option of a cheap, occasional pill that would sate hunger and provide all nutrients.

I made a couple of new blank books and put them up on eBay. My store's being wonky and not showing me the listings, so in case it's doing the same to you, here are the direct links:

Thanks for looking!

Well, hell, I feel positively perky. I'm ready to make a commercial for Wellbutrin. Tonight I started, yet again, the Sisyphean and never-ending task of cleaning out and organizing my office. Compare this with my sad self-portrait from eleven days ago (with my thoughts purposely cropped out due to being far too embarrassing for public consumption, ( Read more... )
