Well.

I've opened a gmail account. No, you can't have that email addy. This is going to be used solely for fiction subs, and it uses my actual name. I think it's a little more professional...and this way they're not going to find, well, this. Not that I'm ashamed of anything I write here, but I'd rather my prose stand on its own and not have an editor's opinion of it influenced by my opinions--or the whining I'm constantly doing about my Muses.

Speaking of which. I should stare at the Books Gone Bad thing. Really.

Oh, yay.

I just got an email in the account that's been moribund for three days.

And it's a scam email from Citibank, telling me that it's urgent that I click on the link and verify my information or my account might *gasp* be closed!

Yeah. I don't bank with Citibank.

FAIL.

Hopefully that means that my email is unclogged. They're moving servers. I may email *that one place* and tell them to please email me at the gmail account, since I really don't have any confidence in my ISP that they'll handle the move in a prompt and competent manner.

In other news, I'm reading Bitterwood, by James Maxey. It's about a war between humans and the dragons that enslave them. The worldbuilding is rich, the characters engaging, the story interesting.

Just one problem.

It's reins, people, when you're discussing the things that riders use on horses and ox-dogs. Not reigns. And they make this error every single time. I kid you not.
