You just can't make this stuff up

So a veterinarian in WINCHESTER, England is looking for the owners of SAM the cat.

I kid you not. :-)

One of my email alerts went off this morning for "sam winchester" and this was the story.

Told you you can't make up stuff like this! LOL!

Dark Roast Press online forum

Did you guys know that my ebook publisher, Dark Roast Press, has an online discussion forum?

http://darkroastpress.com/community/index.php

We haven't had much activity there, so I thought I'd pimp it out a bit. :-)

There are sections for reviews on the ebooks that you can read and then leave your own.

And each of us authors has their own section where you can leave us comments on our books, or ask us questions.

My alter ego, Jamie Lynn Miller, would love to chat with any of you about myself or my pro writing, so if you've got a second, head on over there and register (which is free and takes all of a minute) and we can talk!

Thanks!

Supernatural # 13 in DVR timeshifted numbers

Here's another set of DVR time shifted numbers from the TV by the Numbers site. These numbers are for No Rest for the Wicked, which aired on May 15th.


For the week of May 12-18, NBC’s The Office stays atop our list of audience % gain by time-shifting (DVR viewing). Its audience increased by 41.2% over the 6.743 million that watched it Live giving it a Live+7 audience of 9.520 million. That’s quite high, but not the highest we’ve seen.

CW’s Reaper was a close second with an increase of 39.1% increasing its tiny Live audience of 738,000 to 1.887 million after time-shifting. Rounding out the top 10 were Beauty and the Geek, Gossip Girl, Lost, Smallville, Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, America’s Top Model and House.

And while it may sound like a broken record, not many people watch the CW, but a large portion of the watch via their DVRs as the CW lead all networks with 7 shows in the top 20 and an impressive 6 of the top 10. Second was ABC with 4 shows out of the top 20.
