And I got an early Christmas present from TRS – The Romance Studio as I got nominated for Favourite Author: Kim Rees for 2007 *squeeee*
Don’t make me angry…you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry…
Yep, more gamma radiation today. Didn’t do the full hulk mode, but I was ready to explode as they gave me a diuretic before I had to have the scan. I was absolutely desperate to go right in the middle of being zapped.
The first question the radiographer asked me:
“So, have you had a kidney removed?”
Not the most sensitive question to ask, though it was understandable as only one kidney had started to glow on the monitor. I have no idea yet whether they will save the kidney or I become One-Kidney Kim in the near future. I have to wait for the results and a clinic appointment, but I will phone the GP to chivvy them along a bit. *grin*
I am also a rather used and sore pin cushion. I’m surprised there’s any blood left running about in my body…though the third needle in the same vein almost had me passing out.
Me + Needles + Blood= Unconscious Kim.
Well, back to writing and trying to ignore Wow Wow Wubzy *ugh*

“Which one?”
“How the hell should I know?”
“Maybe because it’s your stupid face pressed up against them?”
“Insults now?”
“Given the situation, it seems appropriate.”
Jake let out a slow breath. “Fine.”
His cheek dragged against the rough stone until he was staring at the row of carved symbols cut into the face of the rock. They still made no sense.
“Can you hurry?”
He held back a curse. “Just hold on.”
“Easier said,” Anna muttered.
Jake forced his gaze away from the wall and stared up into the darkness. The rope snaked down, thin and strained. In the silence of the cave, its stretching groans had his already white knuckles tightening their grip. He twisted his body, trying to support Anna.
Her face had flushed and she had her eyes crushed shut. Words grated out. “I should have done it…”
“You know, that isn’t helping right now—”
“… but you have to think you’re the one. The only one that can solve this. And now we’re hanging from a rope, in a cave with a thousand foot drop.”
“It’s an illusion, Anna. Just…”
“No. Just press the bloody symbols.” She glared at him. “Or I will.”
Anger fired his gut. “We decided—”
“You decided.”
“Anna—”
“No.”
In one slam, her hand impacted the wall.
“You stupid—”
Silence.
Nothing.
Until the rope vanished.
A glowing Christmas
Just got my letter for a renogram, which is basically pump me full of radioactive material and spin me around in a gamma camera chair. They want to see how my kidney is working. The date is next Wednesday. It’s a bit of a surprise as I got a CT scan appointment last week for January.
I’ll be seriously glowing over the festive period 😉
Brava finalist!
Yes, you read that right. That’s me. I’ve drifted off into another dimension again. Maybe writing Fracture has helped, lol
Dark Host by Kim Knox is the entry. You can look at it on this forum
I’m off to get my finalist and vote for me flashy icon.
Nope, it’s still not real and I’ve lived with the information for 9 hours now…
Odd inspiration
So this is ‘The Suit” that jumped out at me while watching SGA Miller’s Crossing on Tuesday. I had a bugger of a time finding an image. In the end, I found some here .
It happened at the exact time that I was getting back into Fracture and everything in that episode resonated with my hero. This includes how Sheppard resolves the problem at the end. Not spoiling anything, but say hello to the darkside, John Sheppard. Joe Flanigan has apparently labelled his character a ‘pretty, pretty psycho princess’. My hero from Fracture? Yep, he’s going with the first three on that one, lol
Things to do when you should be writing…

Catching up
So… I’m back to writing Fracture, LOL I’ve given into the fact that it’s a much longer story that I planned, and because of that I can also give into the general explosion of plot bunnies this story has generated. I’m still not certain whether it’s a 50/60k novel or 3 novellas. But now I’m officially half way through. I’ll write it and see.
My kidney pain has subsided, for the most part. I’m still getting the odd twinge. My ability to stay awake has seriously deteriorated though! Taking the hobbits to school and pre-school has me exhausted. Now what used to be writing time has turned into sleeping time *sigh*
I also had a release this week. It’s part of a winter anthology from Freya’s Bower.
A Winter’s Gift by Kim Rees
Siobhan Kerr has been dumped. Again. She has no clue why her love life is such a disaster. Mr Right is too often Mr Wrong. So she does what she always does when she screws up… she runs home.
Her friend Ethan Jacoby, is waiting. However, Ethan has his own agenda as he faces yet another of Siobhan’s collapsing relationships. And with the help of an ancient temple, he plans to prove to Siobhan that the right man is closer to her than she ever believed possible…
And go here for an excerpt.
One final thing I’ll be doing today…hunting for screen caps for Stargate Atlantis’ Miller’s Crossing. When I find them and post, you’ll see why… *smirk*
Another reason I love You Tube
This was a record of the week on Mark and Lard’s Radio 1 afternoon slot. I keep meaning to buy it. But then I thought…You Tube.
