Is this how Neil Armstrong felt setting foot on the moon?

I don’t want to say how long it took me, or how many expletives were used, or air molecules punched, but despite the tantrums I finally managed to figure out how to transfer files from my computer to my Kindle. The joy and relief is almost org- er, really very nice 🙂 There were points where I considered studying the aerodynamic properties of my Kindle, but I found my center, took a few breaths, nibbled on some Ben & Jerry’s FroYo ice cream/yogurt and persevered.

Maybe next I’ll try to figure out how to stop all the sp@m comments deluging my blog.

Actually, I am going to the gym to work off some of this energy (and ice cream).  And I’m taking my Kindle with me as I’ll sit on a bike and spin and read. Not sure I’ll listen to my Nano pod, too, at least, not if I want to retain anything I read and Not fall off the bike.

Switching to my “proud as a peacock” editor hat for a moment

As most of you know, when I’m not out fighting crime in Gotham in the dark of night I work as a mild-mannered yet shockingly good-looking and charming editor of military history books (or something like that). I love my day job and am endlessly chuffed (that’s Britishese for happy/thrilled/overjoyed) that I get to work with some amazing veterans, historians, and journalists. So chuffed, in fact, that I want to show off some of the latest books I’ve published.

 

 

Not the six o’clock news

I filmed my video interview at S&S’s Studio 4 today. Apparently, I’m a natural. I think what it really is is that I spend most of my time alone editing and writing so when I finally get around other people I’m like a puppy in a window barking and wagging his tail at the people on the other side 🙂 They’re aiming to have it out by the middle of October. As soon as they do I’ll post a link.
