General updatiness.

Last night, I finished the synopsis on The Willow Sword. Oh, I cannot wait to write this one!!!

Two nights ago, I was invited (somewhat last minute) to an online book chat for Carnal Machines. The actual guest was D.L King, the editor, but when she found out I was online, she had me plug The House of Sable Locks. And she told the story about how the anthology is essentially all my fault, which was very cool.

Which reminds me that I don’t think I’ve told that story. I submitted The Succubus to D.L King for her Spank! anthology.  She loved it, but it wasn’t right for that book. So I get this email from her, basically saying “I love it, I want to use it. I’m going to pitch a steampunk anthology to Cleis, JUST SO I CAN PUBLISH THIS STORY. Is that okay with you?”

Um…. is the Emperor Palpatine Catholic?

So yeah, all my fault. And sitting on that news for MONTHS while she assembled the rest of that stellar anthology was sheer torture.

Now I’ll get back to work on Drum Mage, and figuring out where I went wrong and how to fix it. I have just about one month left in summer vacation, then I’ll get myself back to work!
