The Ent got me two presents today *grin*

The first – The new Pride and Prejudice film… mainly so I can rant about how he is so not Mr Darcy, LOL

The second – I found out about when I came down stairs this morning to get Samwise his bottle of milk.

The Ent, caught in the doorway to the kitchen with matches, candles and a birthday cake.

There has been much bemoaning in the Shire about how I didn’t get a birthday cake because The Ent was too busy arranging to get Grandma Saruman’s piano.

So now I have one. Cool.

Off to sort out dull tax stuff.

Then I might trawl for images for Merlin. Hard job. But someone has to do it.

But first. Tax

The people at Samhain… they say YES

Samhain Publishing have offered me a contract for Nimue’s Price – which may need a new title, LOL.

Still bouncing… and while doing that trying to think of an image for the art cover form… which is difficult to do when your bouncing, as you can imagine.

Now I just need Orbit to say:
See the rest of Exploding… nah. We’ll buy it now. How many zeroes would you like on your cheque?

Yes, I’m giving into the fact that I need to outline more of this wip. I have a plan where it’s going. But now I need a micro plan to get there.

Off to work that out.

Oh, and I’ve sent the first 1000 words of Merlin for my course tomorrow. Now that really should be fun *grin*

Renaming my wip worked. *grin* I’ve written about 1500 words in 2 days – not a lot normally, but more than I’ve written on Heiress (hehe) since before Christmas. Yay

And I’ve just watched Divide and Conquer…
I love that episode.

Okay I couldn’t stop myself.

This is the cover *grin*

And, yes those are my legs, LOL

Buying Mackenzie’s Baby is on the Coming Soon page of Samhain Publishing.

And it has my ISBN. I’ve never had an ISBN before… always wanted one.

This is sooo cool.

Can you tell I’m excited? A cover for one book and an ISBN for another.
Today has been a good day.

To get the current wip moving Impworks suggested that I rename it.

So from henceforth and with due ceremony, Reluctant is now known as Heiress. I’ve just written about 500 words, so there must be something in it. Thanks, Mark *grin*

The Ent phoned me this morning to point out that my book cover for The Billionaire’s Seduction was in my inbox.

It’s cool, LOL

I just waiting to find out whether this is the finished article or not.

But it should be appearing here soon… *big cheesy grin*

I’ve written 60 new words on Reluctant. I can tell you’re impressed.

My head is splitting… I move away from the laptop, the headache eases. I come back, sit down and look at the open Word document and pain flares. I think I have a phobia developing LOL

But I’ve realised I can move past the scene that was stalling me with the old classic.
All together now:

*Insert sex scene here*

Works every time *grin*

I also have to think about a new fantasy novella 10k to 40k for a new epub someone told me about.

But that’s not right now.

Now is paracetamol, convince Samwise that he does need to sleep and crack on with Reluctant. I might even get another 60 words out before I have to go and pick Frodo up from school. Two and a half hours.

Could be pushing it a bit there…

I learned something I didn’t know today in my Weapons and Warfare class.

Ancient greeks fought in the nude.
Mainly to stop wounds being infected by their clothes.

Nobody told this to the people making Troy. Or Alexander…
Erm… Colin Farrell?
…actually clothes are just fine. Infact… Essential.
