Crystal Blade Episode 32: Royally Approved is live at Kindle Vella. You know the drill.

I’m guessing that this may be our last relatively nice day before October so I’m appreciating the bit of rain we’ve gotten. The forecast for this weekend and next week is going to be nasty—days of triple digit heat and lots of stress on Anita Gigawatt.

Here in Casa Cameron we swing into low power mode when that happens—no running of large appliances or the pool pump during the day, I do my best to makes all meals on the stove instead of the oven (we have a propane grill but it badly needs to be cleaned) and we close all the blinds and curtains and pretty much hunker down until the heat wave breaks.

You would think that would be a great opportunity for me to crank out a lot of words. Yeah, no. The effect of having a high pressure dome parked directly overhead messes with my sinuses and I wind up feeling drained and getting a lot of sinus headaches. I’ll try to get as much work on Crystal Blade and formatting the rest of the Two Thrones books for wide release before the heat knocks me over.
