 Perhaps a more elegant wizarding world setting.  Wizarding college, perhaps?  How come we never hear of that?  Hrm.</p> <p>So, I was just checking, and right now, even though I raised the price on This Brilliant Darkness last week, it has only increased at iTunes & Smashwords, so far.  That means at B&N, Sony, & Amazon, you can still save a buck on my 4.5 star dark contemporary fantasy thrill ride.  <strong><a href="http://redtash.com/Stories" target="_blank">Those links are here.</a> </strong> I’d love to hear what you think of it.</p> <p>I feel like all I do lately is talk about my current WIPs, but that’s only because I’m obsessed with them.  I’m just being honest.  :)  It’s good to love the work, though, isn’t it?</p> <p>One thing I want to achieve this holiday weekend is finding some line art to use inside Troll Or Derby.  I’ve also got to finish acknowledgements and resend it to my formatter.  I’m so impatient.  I wish that it would all just do itself and do it today, like Molly Weasley’s dishes.  </p> <p>Looking forward to hearing from y’all about Deb and Harlow and fairies playing roller derby.  I feel like I’m counting down to a vacation or something.  Or to graduation.  I don’t know what to compare it to.</p> <p>So what are you up to this weekend?  The beach?  Applying for wizard college?  Do tell.</p>http://redtash.com/post/23798190309http://redtash.com/post/23798190309Sat, 26 May 2012 11:05:44 -0400dark librarybooksunkindledtroll or derbyharry potterya bookroller derbybarnes and nobleitunessony<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvig51EOp1r5jngno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zsazsagaboa.tumblr.com/post/18161085128/vintage-fairy-godmother" target="_blank">zsazsagaboa</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Vintage Fairy godmother ♥</p> </blockquote>http://redtash.com/post/23771148381http://redtash.com/post/23771148381Fri, 25 May 2012 22:20:29 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvmsrUnKw1qzar1so1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahrollergirls.tumblr.com/post/18167673126/kyza-my-team-mate-got-some-new-black-milk" target="_blank">fuckyeahrollergirls</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://kyza.tumblr.com/post/18167169065/my-team-mate-got-some-new-black-milk" target="_blank">kyza</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>My team mate got some new Black Milk.</p> </blockquote> <p>Brilliant!</p> </blockquote>http://redtash.com/post/23768597539http://redtash.com/post/23768597539Fri, 25 May 2012 21:32:25 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq0rc3xyZ1rpasimo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>IU places!</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://myhipstersisters.tumblr.com/post/17985784461/our-saturday-trip" target="_blank">myhipstersisters</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Our Saturday trip.</p> </blockquote>http://redtash.com/post/23710838012http://redtash.com/post/23710838012Thu, 24 May 2012 22:21:54 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu13hD7Sf1qa8u5xo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu13hD7Sf1qa8u5xo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu13hD7Sf1qa8u5xo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzu13hD7Sf1qa8u5xo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>at IU!</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sunshinemolly.tumblr.com/post/18118826533/my-little-college-life" target="_blank">sunshinemolly</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>my little college life</p> </blockquote>http://redtash.com/post/23708104444http://redtash.com/post/23708104444Thu, 24 May 2012 21:41:05 -0400No, wait.   I&#8217;m ON Abnormally Paranormal.  Book Reviews.  Whew.  That&#8217;s a relief.
