Feisty kids, swashbuckling, libraries, buried treasure, peril, possibly magic, all that jazz...?
I'd love to read it, Fay! Sounds fabulous.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

I'd be happy to read as well, Fay.
Speaking of reading books... deb, I had recommended The Weaver and the Factory Maid to my mother, and mentioned that there were other books in the series. When she was visiting this weekend, she mentioned that she had read Weaver, but she was going to wait on getting the next one. I was worried she didn't like it, but her next comment was "I just wanted to keep reading, I didn't want to crossstitch!" Since my mother does crossstitching like some people breathe, I'm thinking she liked Weaver a lot.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
BTW, Victor's current edition of his online pub (see Press) is highly buffalicious: erika, me and Roz Kaveney.
Funny how that worked out. (: I'm in such a different mindset when I'm putting together different sections that it didn't really occur to me until it all got pulled together.
And for the record, Erika's story rocks.

Aw, Victor...but I'm still a rotten pimp, huh? Sorry about that. Of course, I could extend my tiresome virginity metaphor some more...

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Ailleann, sweet! I'm at that point in the publication process for a new book where I'm very glad I'm being distracted with other projects. This is the nerve-wrack time, usually; no reviews out yet, they've got the first pass pages back and we should have galleys soon, the amazon numbers are dormant because it's still a bit too early for heavy pre-ordering and the major reviewers haven't seen the galleys yet. The first industry press review for Matty Groves was Kirkus, and that was in the 15 August 2005 edition.
So normally, I'd be gnawing my nails. Right now, with the proposal for the hiphop arc being sent, the prologue to that being written today, phone calls for Daymond being arranged tomorrow, the prologue and first chapter of New-Slain Knight being written probably next week to start the clock ticking with SMP, and finishing Cleveland Rocks? No time to gnaw.
And erika, I sent your Dylan story to Marlene. I'm also sending her the link to Victor's journal, since we're both in it.

I keep forgetting to congratulate erika on the piece in Victor's journal. Yay!

So, did I! It had just the perfect ending for me.

I wrote it twice...initially her backing out was...a little too sitcom, or something...she lost her notes, or some passive-aggressive thing like that. Which my beta hated.(He was right.) I'll tell him you said so...make his week.
