I was thrilled when Krista won a copy of The Rose of Shanhasson.  I’ve known her a long time through her blog and she was very kind to help me with Letters before I entered it in the Brava contest.  Not only has she already read it, but she wrote up a terrific review here! 

I kept trying to scroll down, certain there had to be more. Of course, there is, but it’s not in this story. Although I don’t have it on the author’s authority, I’m pretty sure the continuation is under construction in Gregar’s book. If it’s not, I may have to shake Joely up just a little, because this story is far from over…

Indeed, “Gregar’s Book” is coming right along, formally titled The Road to Shanhasson.  If I write faster, we’ll hopefully have it out this fall.

Thank you, Krista!

What, you don’t believe me when I say I’m losing my mind?  (Triple Book Giveaway this week, comment to be entered)

Last night, Middle Monster threw up in her bed.  No, she doesn’t have the flu.  No, I don’t believe she was sick.  She’d been rewarded with the chance to stay up 15 minutes later than her sisters, but when she went to bed, they were already asleep.  It was storming, thunder and lightning.  And big mean Mom and Dad wouldn’t let her sleep in their room.  So she threw up on her bed.  Solved that problem, didn’t she?  Of course by the time I stripped the bed and got her clean clothes, all three girls ended up in Mom and Dad’s room.  Yippee.

On the bright side, the Shadowed Blood came to pay me a visit in dreams last night.  Oh, dear.  It was quite a gruesome, terrible, bloody nightmare.  I was so excited I got nearly 1400 words this morning D&E before work.  That’s the most I’ve written in one sitting for quite a while…
