A kinda semi-official AFFA post here, for those following the competition.  There's a few authors that have been nominated that we haven't heard back from as yet.  If you see any of these people roaming around your corner of the interwebs over the next few days (they have until Sunday March 24 to respond if they want to be in the comp) please give ( Read more... )

I just got notified that 'Curse of the Broken Pearl' got nominated in the FFA.  *gasps*  And not just once, but three times! *faints*  For 'Best Action/Adventure', 'Best Original Character' and 'Best Happy Ending'!!!! *dies happy, if just for a moment*

And the first day of school term for most of my kids. I have something akin to time to myself again! And my laptop has been liberated from the cloying grasp of the TV where it has been in servitude to pirated movie and gaming addicted kiddies. Well, when we've been home at any rate.

Yep, finally, Chapter 14 of Curse of the Broken Pearl has landed upon FFnet.  Mills and Boon eat yer heart out!  XP

I know I owe half a dozen different people half a dozen different things ranging from emails to essays to updates of a more interesting nature.  But right now, I'm knackered!!  Goin' to bed, but I haven't forgotten any of ya.

I got a couple of good things in my inbox today.

One was a new story to beta, which I always love getting.  One, because I everyone I beta for is a writer I respect and I love being able to see a sneak preview of their latest work, as well as getting the opportunity to work with them.  And two, it gets my own creative juices flowing again, which ( Read more... )
