Glad Tidings

After back-to-back posts about crap and rats, you might think my holiday season is not so merry. YOU WOULD BE WRONG.

Yesterday, I officially signed with the agent of my choice. Ta-dah!

She’s tougher than me, says I’m to contact her for updates vs the other way around, and she has yet to say “this is the great American novel the world has been waiting for.” Nonetheless, I love her dearly.

So here’s the deal:

- Bear in Mind, the first of my mystery series will be sent to a handful of editors. If nobody buys, I get it back to try the epublishers.
- In the meantime, I am writing novellas about Spirit Cat for Kindle singles. They should start appearing by February.
- In the meantime, meantime, I start the second Bear book.

If no editor buys the Bear package of three books, it will start to appear online maybe by summer. I’m okay with that. I would love to publish in print because I was raised with that goal but ebooks are pretty neat, too.

Oh, who am I kidding? If no editor buys, I go back to posting about crap and rats.

Rat Patrol

I realize it is not wise to be snapping pictures through your windshield while following another vehicle at blazing speeds. Especially when the camera is in the bottom of your purse on the floor of the backseat and requires an advanced gymnastic routine to retrieve. So pardon me all to hell and gone for the poor quality of this picture.

This company appears to deal with rat issues … I mean they call themselves Rodent Damage Repair Specialists. Nonetheless, the worker dealing with the repair is a (don’t look now) rat! In fact, by some serious tailgating, I saw the company is actually called Willards Pest Control so maybe rats really do the clean up. In which case, not at my house, you furry little fucks.

Closer still, I notice the name on the worker rat’s hat is Ben. The company has now used the only two famous rat names since nobody can spell Ratatouille or ever again wants to eat that tasty dish now that rodents come to mind when its anywhere near your pie hole.

The thing that really worries me, though, is exactly what Ben is vacuuming or spraying. From left to right, I’d say a doggie Kong toy, a platypus, a scarab amputee, and a worm. Just what part of “Rodent Damage” is any one of those?

I swear. Virtually nobody should be allowed to do the graphics for their own companies.
