Home from Florida

Got back last night from 11 days in Florida, visiting my parents (dad's home and has a visiting nurse coming in four times a week plus will start having physical therapy to hopefully help with his balance and strengthen his legs.

Photos from ICFA will be posted but in the meantime I've posted a few family shots and landscapes and clouds (yup I love those Florida clouds).

More bad news from publishing. My wonderful editor at M Press, Rob Simpson, has been laid off. I have no idea what this means for Lovecraft Unbound, which is in production and due for pub in October.

Running out to do errands. More later.

Sympathies on being orphaned.

I'm glad your dad is home and recovering. Being in the hospital sucks.

Sorry to hear about your editor though, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Lovecraft Unbound.

Thanks...Unfortunately, I'm way too used to it. :-( I just hope that M Press will still publish the book on schedule and that whoever handles it is competent and likes the book.

Welcome back! Hope the visit to the surgeon is optimistic.

Sorry to hear about Rob Simpson.

Ick, so many publishing layoffs and restructurings.

Best of luck to your dad with his PT and everything!
