Well, Fleury Does America has a title, finally. Thanks Gehayi for the inspiration.  It’s “Blackguards!” (with the exclamation point)  I really love having a title before I start.  And it seems that there’s not a book with that title right now so hurrah!

(Although to be honest, there isn’t a title “Fleury Does America” either.)

The four stories for The Last Gasp anthology have been sent off to the publisher, and now I have to collate blurbs etc.  I don’t want to be all officially and announcing it too publicly yet, because we haven’t had contracts – I’m horribly silly about that.   I was all stern with the authors and said “No rhetorical questions in your blurbs please” because O.M.G. I hate those with a PASSION. “Will Guy Mason get his grabby hands into Louis’ drawers or will FATE CONSPIRE to prevent it?”

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN……..

"Blackguards!" is a brilliant title :) I'd pick that up. (Well, I would anyway, but you know what I mean.)

Chris doesn't want to trouble with a blurb. She asked me to write one for her. So here you go:

Long, long ago, in the faraway land of the White Empire, there was Eternal Cheese. Will the Eternal Cheese defeat the evil Crazed Mice? Will it be crowned ruler of all civilization as its birthright dictates? Will it be struck down in the prime of life by Cruel Editor? You'll just have to read Chris Smith's debut, The Eternal Cheese, and find out!

Yeah. There will be so many downloads, it will crash the website.

Why don't you just sleep there? Or did you try that and they threw you out because of the vodka?

LOL. I wish. It's the downside of owning property -- though being honest I'd not move from where I am for the world.

And the cover quote, from Sergeant Jackrum (of the Cheesemongers' regiment): "On my word of honour, this is not a violent book!"

LOL. Also -- prepare yourself for a massively gushing email. Read Tangled Web yesterday. And you are the reason I've had 5 hours sleep!!! FANTASTIC STORY!

Isn't she good?

Can lee Rowan keep up the standard of writing or will fate (and her cats) intervene?

I think Fate. In the form of a covert assasination. WE CANNOT SUFFER A ROWAN TO LIVE!

Long live Cheesemongers!

"On my word of honour, this is not a CHEESY book!"

Chris is going to have to start saying that to people.

People are already scared of me. Unsure if this will help.

Cheese is definitely a theme. Even the strange oriental fruits are lay-cheese.

Students in future ages will curse the name of Chris Smith as they get their exam papers: "Edgar's hard rind and crumbling interior is a direct theme to the cheese theme throughout The White Empire. Discuss."
