On episode 47 of the Bookcast,  we start with the book report as always, then we'll do a quick and dirty rundown of two author centered events I attended recently that I want to share, and finally we will talk about progress on ELYSIUM and... the getting is GOOD right now. 

I have read 89 of my challenge of reading 150 books this year.  I have edited my challenge to increase the number of books I plan to read.  Can't stop, won't stop.

I have  written 49 of the 65K I plan to write on ELYSIUM.  Remember when this book was a novella? Good times.  Stretch goal is early Sept so my brain doesn't freak out but in reality i hope to wrap in July  and come in around 55-60K words.
