Damn you, WordPress

This is my fourth attempt at the blog this morning. WP has finally pushed through the update I’ve been avoiding for months and I frigging hate it. Nothing works rights. Nothing looks right. I’m a writer, damn it! Don’t dump changes on me without getting my approval.

Okay, they have a way to revert to the “classic” view. Except it isn’t intuitive and not all the functionality is there–at least not that I’ve found. Oh, and the font looks different from the default font on their “blocks”. Yes, cussing is happening. So is the grinding of teeth. In fact, the cat’s looking at me very warily, as if he’s afraid I might strike out at him before long. The dog, showing more wisdom than normal, has left to find Mom in the hopes she will protect him from angry writer.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Okay, now that that’s out of my system–sort of–back to what I meant to write about. 

I’m butt in chair, hands on keyboard, finishing one last pass on Jaguar Rising. I’ll be uploading the final content file later today or tomorrow. Release date is a week from today.

Here’s the blurb:

Life changed for Mackenzie Santos more than a decade ago when she woke on a slab in the morgue. If that wasn’t bad enough, then she started turning furry.

And that was just the beginning of the changes in her life and in the world around her.

Since then, Mac’s life has been filled with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. Her responsibilities as cop, mother, pride alpha and member of the Tribunal mean she’s seen the best and worst in both the human and paranormal worlds. . . and the worst is yet to come. It seems someone plans to celebrate her promotion with a real bang!

A monster stalks the streets of Dallas, It has targeted Mac and those close to her. Worse, this “monster” knows her. It spent years studying her, learning her strengths and weaknesses. Worse, it isn’t afraid of harming innocents in its quest to get to her.

Mac will do whatever it takes to bring down this new threat because failure means more than just death. It means all-out war between humans and paras.

This is the first book in a new story arc for Mac and company, one I’m very excited about. For now, I’m going to sign off before this damned interface has me flinging my laptop across the room. Hopefully, I’ll have it figured out by next week.
