Good News, Bad News (It's not Funny, but it's Humerus).

You may have noticed that I haven't been around much lately. The major reason for my prolonged absences is basically that I suck.

I actually had intended to remedy this around the beginning of May, while Dom (that's my husband) and I were in Montreal. We went to Montreal because Dom had won a prestigious award from his old high school. He was really looking forward to getting it--more even than pretty much any other award he's ever won.

Owie.

So naturally, five minutes before he was set to go to the reception, he fell and broke his upper right arm. (I'm not even kidding; he was about to put on his tie.) A Proximal Humerus Fracture means a break just under the shoulder joint. Not to put too fine a point on it, it fucking sucks. What sucks even harder is that my husband is disabled, and without his right arm his mobility's been reduced to just about zero. He's slowly getting better, but he needs a lot more help than normal. It's made it hard to think about anything else, like updating my live journal.

But! He is getting better. His arm is slowly healing and I'm not quite as stressed to the gills, which means I can think about other stuff--like updating my live journal. And I actually have cool news with which to update.

My novella Aiden's Angel is coming out this Wednesday (and still available for pre-order). You can read the cover blurb here.

And...that's it, thank you. :)

Tell Dom I hope he feels better and congratulations to both of you!

I'm so sorry to hear of his injury, particularly given the timing of it.

Congratulations to him though and to you on the new book.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to your husband. I'm so sorry you're stressed out, sweetie. *hugs* Sending you positive vibes.

So sorry about his injury! And caregiver burnout is soul-flattening; I hope you're getting some respite now.

Also congrats on the book, can't wait to read it.

*winces* That's dreadful. I'm glad he's healing up.

Yay, new novella! And congrats to Dom on the award, despite the frustration of not being able to go to the ceremony.

Sending you and your husband all best wishes.

Oh man, I've done a number on my shoulder recently (probably tore my rotator) and I can entirely sympathize with your husband--I have never been in such pain in my entire life. The timing was unbelievably bad, too--right before his award! I'm so glad to hear he is slowly on the mend.

Congratulations, too, on your new release--that's awesome!

He fell when going to put on his tie, and then you've have to take care of him? Be careful, I think you might inspire someone's fanfic....

EDIT: Just to be clear, no, I didn't mean mine hahah.
