Left a good job in the city

[rolanni]

kinzel is warming up the oven, and plans are afoot to cook the turkey breast he hunt-gathered earlier in the week. I hear rumors of buttermilk biscuits, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and broccoli-or-maybe-asparagus.

In between loads of laundry, I'm writing a synopsis for Carousel Tides. Mozart is asleep on top the file cabinet, which means I can't yet free the office baseboard hot-water heaters from the tyranny of last winter's dust. Pause for a brief moment of nostalgia for the radiators of yesteryear.

If my brain will stay with the program for just a little longer, the synopsis will be in the mail to Madame the Agent next week, which is Good Timing. Starting Saturday-next, my week at Cousin Bean's skyrockets to 52 hours. And here's hoping my voice will hold out.

After the dust clears (sometime in January), I've got a couple short stories to write, then, assuming matters on other fronts haven't clarified, I'm thinking I'll start White Sheep, the third (and final) Jen Pierce book.

Bright blue and white sky here, with no sign of the foretold nor'easter. That's OK.

Voice & White Sheep

Happy Thanksgiving, may Kinzel have much success in the kitchen. If you don't already do it, I recommend a thermos of hot tea while working such long hours. I'd been wondering when we might expect another story about Jen and Co. While I look forward to White Sheep, I'm very sorry to hear it will be the final one. I really like Jen & Fox. :( Shawna

Well, I only ever intended there to be three. Except for the weird mutant one that I mapped out when I was sick with the flu, the details of which escape me now, except that I'm pretty sure it involved Val Con and Fox getting into the works at Disneyland and holding Da Mouse hostage...

Thank you for the many wonderful stories you've given us all.

Your dinner sounds lovely. Hope it all goes smoothly.

It's good to see that another Jen P. story will be in the works soon. I've so enjoyed the first two. But I can't seem to recall the subject of Carousel Tides.

Carousel Tides is a contemporary fantasy mystery set in Maine.

Visions of Long Ago?

Is that a wedding picture I see at the top of this blog entry?

I think that was taken a couple months after the actual marriage, which was a runaway affair and vastly romantical, but lacked a photographer.

I love the photo.
