Katrina Relief

I'm still not back, but I wanted to put up a link to Mercy Corps, which has established a rapid-response to the catastrophe that has overwhelmed Louisiana and Mississippi. Please make a donation to them here.

THE BOOK IS DONE AND DONE AND OUT THE DOOR!

In the words of Howard Dean: "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nothing more from me for a little while longer as I whack away at the Backlog of Work. But I just thought you might like to know I'm officially done (till my publisher sends me galleys to edit (hopefully very minor edits).

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Blessed be Our Lady for her prayers for this project!

Just to whet your appetite

Here's a bit of buzz on my Mary book from Secret Agent Man, one of only three other people on the planet who have read the whole thing. Only, don't let him fool you, his editorial assistance was awesome and invaluable. "Minor" my foot.

Due to the length of the book (roughly 162,000 words), I can no longer say for sure that it will be out at the beginning of next year. But I'm confident we will be seeing it next year sometime. The edits should all be done tonight (which is why I'm surfacing briefly on the blog), but, of course, now all the stuff I've put on the back burner to finish this project has to be attended to.

Anyway, we are nearly across the finish line! Thanks be to God and the intercession of Our Lady!
