Wanna Play with Shambling Things?

When:  TOMORROW.  Yes, tomorrow -- Saturday, June 11th.
Where:  The Phoenix, Arizona Barnes and Noble Bookstore where Bill and Ed's Excellent Adventure was filmed.
Why:  Because Yvonne Her-Very-Own-Self will be signing not only HIGHBORN, but CONCRETE SAVIOR.  Yes, it's out and available, and it's time to get your copy!
Why Revisited:  Because all the B&N employees are going to dress up like zombies and there will be contests and fun and shambling things for you to play with.  You certainly don't want to miss that, right?
Added Bonus:  Yvonne's husband, author Weston Ochse, will also be there, signing his zombie novel, Empire of Salt.  Note that she is not referring to him as a "Shambling Thing."  No, really.  She isn't.

Random Bits of Wednesday

* Sitting here watching Ghoulie run in her sleep, her legs and paws twitching and moving.  Today's Question of the Universe: Do blind dogs finally get to see the rabbit they chase in their dreams?

* On my Facebook page I posted a link to a YouTube video that shows a dog trainer giving CPR to a boxer that inexplicably collapsed and stopped breathing during a training session.  It's difficult to watch but very educational, and the emotional devastation takes a turn at precisely 1:47 in the video.

* Today UPS brought me a book, "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Timothy Ferriss.  My friend Liz Danforth posted about this book so I decided to check it out; like the awesome partner he is, The Husband saw it on my Amazon Wishlist and ordered it for me when he bought something for himself.  I plan on having a 4-hour workwork by next Tuesday.  We'll see how that works out, and if I'm living a life of leisure by then, I'll be sure to let everyone know.  ::ahem::

* Be sure to check out the great review of HIGHBORN over at Hellnotes (link below).  There's another fantastic review of HIGHBORN in the February issue of Locus Magazine, although, alas, that review is not available online.
