Fire Along the Sky, and other things

Tomorrow morning I have to email my editor at Bantam the changes/corrections to Fire Along the Sky. Which means I have some work to do this evening, to finish up. I'm having a hard time concentrating on anything much at all because I've got four different books I'm reading at once and they've all caught my interest to a greater or lesser degree.

This all reminds me of when I was in grade school and my father would tell me to put the book down and go out to play. Except now I have to put the book down to write.

The books I'm reading are: Kostova's The Historian (thus far, I am not very impressed); Mitchard's Theory of Relativity (I like her novels in general, but this one took a while to grab my attention); Eisler's Rain Fall (the first in a series of crime/hard boiled-type novels); and Lippman's The Power of Three (almost finished, and thus far, the best of this bunch).

But back to the page proofs.
