storytelling

I'm not going to give you rotten day details. Instead I'm going to annouce that Judith Ivory has a new book coming out in October. Yes. Judith Ivory. New Book. It's called Angel in a Red Dress.

No cover up yet on Amazon, but it is listed: "Angel in a Red Dress" (Judith Ivory)

I think the world of Judith Ivory, who can write a beautiful sentence and tell a fantastic story and get the historical details right. The three goddesses of historical romance: Loretta Chase, Judith Ivory, Laura Kinsale. And Auntie Beff, don't fuss at me about the order, cause it's alphabetical.

Crickey, I'm long winded.

Things to note on this 1000 post day: I finished the frelling freaking first pass proofreading of Queen of Swords. Today I hand it over to the Fed Ex guy and he lugs it off to New York.

I'm having a postal day. I have six packages to send off: this manuscript, the endpaper maps, and a registered letter. Now, this is an easy going town, but for some reason at our post office it's the customers who always look on the verge of mayhem. They'll see me get in line with my packages and envelopes and they will scowl. They will mutter. They will make untoward guesses about my family tree.

But you know what? I finished with the frelling freaking first pass proofreading. I faced down that monster of a manuscript, and I can face down a few grumpy postal patrons.

Wish me luck.
