@lizaadamczewski I’m so sorry you’re having to give up your piece of Welsh paradise. I hope whatever is happening to necessitate this isn’t too horrible for the rest of your life.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

So glad you got them!

@LKHamilton @LeftBankBooks I am so excited I got my signed copies of the first 5 Merry Gentry books in the mail today! I will go pick them up and then start the adventure!

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Somewhere in the 40-something box of books I stopped counting, so let’s just say still signing  lots of books for the event hosted by @leftbankbooks here in St. Louis. November 4, 6:00 PM at The Zack performing Arts Center.

Five hours of interviews. Now chilling on the garden.

@JayWhitcomb The Merry Gentry fans have waited 12 years for this book. They’re due, but Anita is what I’ll be writing next.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Stickers for Merry Gentry. What quote, phrase, or symbol would you want to see on them?

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@Quintenspokemon Not teasing or joking. Share some of your list maybe we can make it come true.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@stephenRB4 No, you are not.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Voting is magic! Make your voice heard. Go vote!

@lady_valor_07 I did, every time.

More Villabrille double sword 10 count this week in Filipino martial arts. It’s gone from feeling awkward to hitting flow. 8 years of training lets me go from practice to flow faster than I ever dreamed when I first stepped into the dojo.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

More Villabrille double sword last night. It’s getting easier to lean into the style. Sword comes first physically, but until your mind has that moment of insight you just skate on the surface. Repetition helps you sink beneath and begin to make it part of your practuce.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@WiggyJen It should be.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Ok, I’ve stopped eating my anxiety. I’ve stopped shopping my anxiety away. I’ve almost stopped scrolling on line for anxiety relief, but as I fix all the above the anxiety remains. I’m white-knuckling it as I build healthier ways of coping.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@EveKoguce You are most welcome.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@_AFox_ I’m 5’3” so sometimes the neck is out of reasonable reach for me. But I’m closer to the femoral artery.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Double sword tonight. Villabrille which I always find more challenging than Lacoste. The latter is my preferred style but my art is kali which means I need to know all the sword styles. Filipino martial arts is so multifaceted it’s a lifetime of study.

@stephenRB4 I did that scene in my novel, Bloody Bones. It was terrifying to just write it.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@TinyWriterLaura 😱😳😡

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@kat__writes You are allowed to grieve as much as you need. They’ve done brain scans that prove that for many people their brains light up the same way for a human baby or a puppy. We are wired to love our pets. I’m so sorry for your loss.

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

@Timelord323 They do!

[Laurell K. Hamilton @LKHamilton]

Sitting in the window seat reading with the cats curled beside us. Add dogs & a view of the sea & this was my dream for the future at age 12. The husband reading beside me is the only part I didn’t plan. Who knew I’d find another person who loved books & words as much as I did?
