Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh YES, Deb, that's definitely a Press posting thing! Yay! Whee!

Also? You have email.

Art Crawl!!!

Deb -- it's coming out at the end of June? Or is that some Amazon bizarreness? (I pre-ordered.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

sumi, official release date is 1 october, which means in the bookstore in December. Amazon never has a clue about release dates.

Pastry! I will make pastry for all!

And requesting it at the library? Oh, you betcha. I've got three separate people at Library Journal to send it to, and I'm hoping they love it. It's a better book than Weaver; darker, more textured, scarier and with a stronger mystery aspect to it, a crime with a crime.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Much wOOtage, Sumi and Deb!!!

I'm off to pre-order. Doing my bit for the Grabien World Domination Plan...

ETA: and to pimp to my local library. Because having read the manuscript, I'm ALL over having this be read by as many people as possible...

Look at it this way: my World Domination 2004 scheme includes baked goods. How bad could it be?

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want, But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?

yay Deb! ;) Thats cool!

Might try a drabble soon, but its probably going to suck so dont expect too much. I´m not the best short writer..

Kessie, no worries. Just let the words out. That's my mantra on these. It's easier because I only commit to 100 words.

And, Deb, if the WDP includes lemon bread it trumps many current contenders for world domination.

Yes, I'm lookin' at you, Shrub. When was the last time YOU baked lemon bread?

And opening a jar of salsa and a bag of chips isn't a substitute.

Kessie, Astarte's right: just let it rip.

x- post with livejournal

Ok here is my try ;) .. 97 words... i managed it , yay! Not a very original place, but oh well...

Its warm and I don't wanna leave. The noise is making me mad and I slap its source, accomplishing silence for a few minutes. I snuggle back into the softness surrounding me, slowly drifting off...

Here I can go anywhere and nowhere at all. But it will always remain comfy, nice and plushy and when I ..."eeek" there is that damn noise again causing me to wince . Annoyed I rise and leave this beautiful place, just wanting to go back there immediately.

It sure feels like some kind of heaven. It really does.

My bed.

Heh, I like that. Sounds like me trying to wake up in the morning. "slap" the alarm and then think-what if I killed it?

Good work, Kessie!
