someone to watch over me

I'm sort of caught up on TV shows now (not entirely on Castle yet, and obviously not on Breaking Bad), and the visual dump is having the usual where-did-I-see-you-last effect where guest actors are concerned. I was less affected in this regard by Aaron Staton in last night's POI, or by Lisa Edelstein on Castle, than by Warren Kole (last seen as Creepy Stalker Ian on the never-speak-of-this-again POI "Bechdel episode") turning up as a plot-significant FBI agent on White Collar, and getting coffee with Neal in Washington Square. Spotted there earlier: Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson (I have only caught two Elementary eps this season, though). I really wanted them all to run into Harold and Bear.

Also, if Peter Burke gets the DC promotion, he should obviously move into the apartment Rick Castle found. I'm sure it's awesome.

So: White Collar and Castle gave me the same "not what I thought the season would be about!" whiplash effect regarding early plot developments (well, White Collar's was worse). Plus ça change, I guess. Once Upon a Time is the same old *headdesk*-ooh! combo, and I have no fannish urges about it (Captain Yawn) but I want to see what happens with Henry. Sleepy Hollow has sucked me in, even though I keep protesting with whimpers of historical inaccuracy. The Good Wife is just as beautifully tense as I could have imagined. And POI… if they are doing what it looks like they're doing next week (well, in three weeks, more likely), you'll be able to hear the fandom screaming from space.

Though not me, because I'll be watching the Nov. 26 episode probably five days late. Ack.

First pass at a website

I have the beginnings of an author website! It's not quite ready for primetime yet, but it's far enough along that I'm safe posting the link here for you all. So far all I've got is mockup cover and blurb for the first book, with five sample chapters.

I'll be editing in, as I have it: FB page, Twitter (god help me), actual publishing info when it's ready of course, and whatever else I think of, including some blog entries about something or other. Mockup cover for the second book will go up at some point, with a vague and nonspoilery yet enticing blurb, which should be an interesting challenge to write.

If you have comments on the website, please post them here; I haven't done this before so I'm open to advice, though it may take me a little while to get to fixing things since I'm away again this weekend.
