Fitbit is cool.  
I got an email this morning from my little Fitbit pedometer (well, the site) which informed me that in 2012 I had walked 654 miles. This is not an embarrassing amount to have walked over the course of a year, probably, but since I'd only been using it since September, well. That's on the order of 163 miles a month. O.O

I have posted the first chapter of MOUNTAIN ECHOES, book 8 of the Walker Papers, which is out in March! (Or February. Depending on how you want to count it.) Because posting things on a Saturday when nobody's online makes a lot of sense! :)

(If all goes well, NO DOMINION will go on sale this week too. *holds breath, crosses fingers*)

eta: For Christ's sake. For some reason the link keeps redirecting to some other website. Try http://cemurphy.net/excerpts-short-stories/mountain-echoes or going to http://cemurphy.net/ and using the link in the post there. I have no idea what's going on with that. Emailing my host provider, because it's been doing this on Twitter and Facebook and I don't know what the hell is going on. *grr*

eta2: Now ALL the links are doing this. ARGH. Typing in or cutting and pasting the URL works, but otherwise something's all screwed up.

That's an impressive mileage. Just think if you'd been marking kilometers! :)

I ordered a fitbit last week, partially based on your good feedback. Looking forward to getting it.

Good news on the book front. Looking forward to the conclusion of the Walker series. I'll have to go back to the beginning again before reading the last book.

I've been trying to get to your CE Murphy website all week, and I keep getting redirected. When I try to follow the links for the MOUNTAIN ECHOES preview, I keep going to the same place as before; some sort of fundraising (or so it seems) website. *pouts*

That's a long way towards Mordor!

I think I've made it there and back again more than once since I stopped counting my miles in, er, oh, about August 2010. :) I wish I still had the spoons for that, because I enjoyed it, but eh.

I'm not sure if I've even made it to Rivendell yet. :) I lost track myself, but it *did* help me build a regular walking habit which is invaluable and the part that really matters. If I ever feel like tracking again, I'll pick up from there!

Hmm that's a cool thing about Fitbits, it just autotracks.
