Merry Christmas!! um, early.

Alesia, from weird Publisher Time Warp land...

So here it is, early October, and my new . . . Christmas book . . . is out. LOL!! Yes, in the weird world of retail, now is the time to start thinking about Jingling your Bells and Decking the Freaking Halls, as Leah in my new book, SHOP 'TIL YULE DROP, would say. You can see an excerpt here, or buy a few copies for Stocking Stuffers, if you like!

While you're at it, you can send sympathy for my poor and tortured muscles . . .

Yes, today was PT Day. Also known as the day I met Patty, my new Personal Trainer. All week in Georgia (the fab Moonlight & Magnolias conference, NY (networking, shows, and avoiding criminals), and New Jersey (another killer conference), I've been stressing out about the Dreaded Body Fat Analysis.

Did it stop me from eating? NO!

But Patty was terrific. Such a professional! She didn't even collapse to the floor in a dead faint when she took my measurements (I almost did when I saw the numbers). She simply took me up to the machines and proceeded to work me into a heap of jelly-like parts.

It was fun, in a weird, Boy Am I Going to Be Sore Tomorrow sort of way. I even ate healthy food today (also weird, but good). So will there be progress?? Will our heroine reduce the size of her writer-stuck-in-computer-chair butt before it's all over?

Stay tuned for all the details on my transformation to Linda Hamilton in the Terminator. Or Angelina Jolie in the Tomb Raider movies (except without the 'defies all known laws of physics' boobs). And, hey, while you're at it, read SHOP 'TIL YULE DROP. It'll put you in the mood for, um, trick or treating?
hugs,
Alesia
