Getting things done

spacealien_vampIt took far longer than I ever expected to get this done, but I can finally announce that my second novel is finished and posted to Amazon. This one involves a mild F/F romance.
Year of the Dog
I'm already outlining the third volume in the series, which may be somewhat nostalgic for those who knew me way back in the 90s, as it teams a former vampire hunter up with a vampire cop. (Spoiler alert: I'm naming the vampire Nat.)
(Frankly, I'm already outlining the next ~5 volumes simultaneously, which is kind of nice because that lets me plan bits of foreshadowing, but it's also very distracting and adds to the delay in getting anything completed.)
In other news, I have succeeded in scheduling a full week off work, starting on Friday. The plan is to stay home and do some intensive decluttering and gardening, the way I could when we were (briefly) under lockdown in 2020. I also have a ticket to see Neil DeGrasse Tyson give a talk in San Francisco, so that's exciting.
I'm going to try to take another week off for the same thing later in the summer. Squeezing it in around all the days my coworkers are taking off is tricky, but it looks like there's an open spot in September I might be able to nab.
