I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday.

Well, there’s something weird going on with blogger—maybe it got hacked?—so I’m writing this blog hoping it’ll get posted today.
I just bought Shirlee McCoy’s romantic suspense EVEN IN THE DARKNESS in ebook format on Fictionwise.com. They’re holding a sale this week, so it’s only $3.45 for Fictionwise club members, and $3.85 for everybody else.

It’s especially nice to read an ebook in the car while waiting for my husband or something like that, cuz I can read my PDA in the dark, since it has a backlight.
I’m totally excited about this story, which is set in Thailand. Shirlee always writes with such flair and grit. It’s refreshing.
Writing: Off to do crits for my crit group meeting tomorrow. I’m way behind.
