But at least I have some answers…
First, though a few public service announcements.
This Friday, April 1 (no fooling), I will be speaking at the meeting of the Albuquerque SF Society. According to their official announcement:
“Jane Lindskold will talk to us about the three novels she has out from Baen Books this year – Library of the Sapphire Wind: Over Where Book 1 in February, Aurora Borealis Bridge: Over Where 2 in April, and A New Clan (Star Kingdom book) co-written with David Weber, in June. She will definitely answer questions from attendees, and might even read a passage from the first Over Where novel.”
The meeting will begin at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:15 pm) at St Andrew Presbyterian Church, 5301 Ponderosa Ave NE (between San Mateo & San Pedro, south of Montgomery – near Erna Ferguson Library). See their website under Meetings for further information.
I will have a few nifty little things to give away… And if everyone has already read Library of the Sapphire Wind, I will read from Aurora Borealis Bridge. And, of course, I’ll be very happy to sign your copies of the new books. Or even older ones. I’ll bring my colored pens.
In further news, my website, JaneLindskold.com, has recently had some shiny new additions. Among these was updating PayPal for the site’s bookshop. If you’ve had difficulty ordering, you might want to try again.
In a Wednesday Wanderings a few weeks ago, I mentioned various things I was musing about. One of these was when would the flickers vanish and the quail reappear.
I am happy to announce that last Sunday we saw the first quail, and the flickers are still around, so evidently, they overlap. We have also heard our first toads of the season. Our neighbor’s apricot trees are in full bloom. I guess it’s officially Spring.
As to another of those musings, I’ve decided that rather than having “gotten used to” fifty-degree temperatures shifts, I’ve simply come to rely on New Mexico’s weird weather as a source of amusement. This last week was particularly good: Wednesday we had about four inches of snow; by Sunday, the temperature hit 87 F.
I haven’t gotten around to baking using rose water as an ingredient. I’ll let you know if I do!

In the department of Irony, on one of the rare times I mention my website it is currently down. It will be up again, sooner rather than later is my hope.

I think we’ve got it up and running again. Now watch…
