Drollerie’s Book Shop is open!  I bought a copy of Imogen’s Falling and gobbled it right up.  Lovely!  A Necklace of Rubies is on my list after I sweat with Sven for a while.

We’re still talking fairy tales at May’s blog.  She has an exclusive “severed hand” excerpt of Survive My Fire up, and she says some incredible, wonderful things.  ”Her voice is like crack.”  Giggles.  Thank you so much, May!

If you love fairy tales — the original fairy tales — come on over to May’s and talk with me today.  Prizes are involved.

Please be patient–there’s still a few bugs getting worked out of Drollerie’s Book Shop, but we’re very close to being live!

My Dad and Beloved Sister came over last night bearing hugs, cheers, and lovely wine.  We went to dinner at the IHOP, which might sound like an odd “congratulations” dinner selection, but there were several factors involved.  It’s really hard to get in anyplace in Springfield on a Friday night that late (7:00 by the time we arrived), and the monsters just didn’t believe the stories I’ve told about Papa and pancakes.

Until he ordered pecan pancakes, with an extra side of blueberries.  And peaches.  And used blueberry AND maple syrup on top.  I rest my case.

That Man shut himself up in the bedroom while we celebrated because we were too loud and refused to have a glass of wine with us.  Oh well.  We celebrated anyway.  I love you so much, Sis, and Papa From Mexico.  Thank you so much for celebrating with me.
