Jessewave has an interview with me today – and it’s here.  I wish I were more INTERESTING. Not some geek who loves sci-fi and the Big Bang Theory and has no life at all.

As you can see on that interview, I’ve officially announced a new release – an anthology (subject to the final approval by Noble Romance) of four novellas by Charlie Cochrane, Jordan Taylor, myself, and debuting Chris Smith.  The three stories that aren’t mine are all wonderful, varied in voice and locations from Hong Kong to Canada to Egypt to Italy and all of them set on the brink of some major change in history.  The lull before the storm, as it were.  Working title is THE LAST GASP.  I’m allowing myself to be excited.  Of course I need to finish MINE, which is the only thing holding it up at the moment.

And more NEWS – Hard and Fast has been picked up by Audiolark and will be an audio book at some point.  I’m wondering who on EARTH they’ll get to narrate it, and how they’ll cope with Geoffrey.

I wish I knew where my father hid things – he keeps saying he’s lost stuff and we have a panic searching the house out, and then the next time I do over he’s found it and doesn’t even remember having lost it.  There’s obviously a hiding place i haven’t found yet…

I was watching Lloyds of London yesterday with Freddie Barthomolew and Tyrone Power. OMG it’s so slashy.  Also speaking of slash, I was watching Poirot this morning and some woman was railing at Hastings:  “Don’t you know what’s it’s like to love a man???”  and Hastings’ response was hilarious. He nearly choked.  “Er…. um…no – actually.”

I bet you do, Arthur.  You went to a boarding school…Methinks the Captain protests too much.

 Adopt one today! -   Adopt one today! - Adopt one today!

Maybe the fact that you 'wish you were more interesting' actually makes you just that. Anywhore, I'm with you on the uninteresting shelf, lol. Not so much the sci-fi freak ... more the paranormal freak (yeah you know the one...the one who does the dishes, ironing and bread baking).

Good luck on the Last Gasp front!

If you ever find 'that place' let me know too eh? I used to remember where I'd put everything. Now I have to try and think 'where would I have put it when I was organised?' *snort*

I used to be interesting! I used to ride horses and sing soprano, now I just ... sits and thinks. Somedays I just sits.

We had this yearly thing at work where you had to write your interests down for inclusion on the website and I always made stuff up.

Sitting and thinking is good. Keep doing it!

I would probably have to do the same if ever it were asked about.

Ypu are interesting. I like you, anyway so that makes you interesting.

Knowing Hastings' tastes, if the man in question had been auburn haired...maybe.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Chris Smith has fallen over and requires a reboot. Do you want to reboot Chris Smith? Y/N)

I don't think writers have the time to be interesting. All our life goes on in our heads rather than in the real world.

That new anthology sounds wonderful - four really good writers in one volume! It's going to be excellent :) Congrats to you and to Chris for her debut!

You could always froth like champagne. I'm only keeping real ale for myself :)

I don't know if ou watched the Simpson's movie -- but when they kept saying "eepah! eepah!" I thought of the IPA rather than whatever it was they were whittering about.

I will be frothy like bicarb and vinegar!

Congratulations on the audio book! Since I have probably spent more of my waking life listening to audio books than not, it's always a big deal for me to learn of a new one coming out.

Sorry about your father. That's crazy-making. You should get him a detection dog, instead of a normal pet, to track down his possessions.

We used to have a very clever dachshund who would seek out things and knew hundreds of nouns, but not now, sadly!

Is 'The Last Gasp' the one I subbed the Legat story for? I can send that elsewhere now, if so.

Yes - did you not get the email? I sent it ages and ages ago - I'm sorry if you didn't receive it, hun.
