WHOOT!

Just got word!

"Orion Rising," an m/m/f piece set in Heartland (a missing scene from Nick & Corban actually) has been picked up for Circlet's LIKE AN IRON FIST anthology!

Pretty Emily got caught blowing her boy after prom, and the assistant principal made sure she got properly punished. Now a marked Nymphomaniac, she no longer officially exists. Her only hope of a life is to get married...or better yet, get out. When local bad-boy Kyle Igoe starts flirting with her, and a stranger drifts into town, Emily sees what may be her best chance.

It is 18 miles to the next landmark.
You have 58 miles to reach Rivendell.

The light faded, and the leaves on the bushes rustled softly. Clearer and nearer now the bells jingled, and clippety-clip came the quick trotting feet. Suddenly into view below came a white horse, gleaming in the shadows, running swiftly. In the dusk its headstall flickered and flashed, as if it were studded with gems like living stars. The rider's cloak streamed behind him, and his hood was thrown back; his golden hair flowed shimmering in the wind of his speed. To Frodo it appeared that a white light was shining through the form and raiment of the rider, as if through a thin veil.

It's going to be a long rest of the month, o faithful readers.

I have Nano going on. This weekend I'm going to ConTraception in KC. Then, I have to come back early because I have to renew my license and see the allergist on Monday. Tuesday is my GP for ongoing lung issues. Wed is my birthday.

The following week, dad and my sister are coming into town for Thanksgiving.
And then it's December!

Work is better. The extra hour in the morning means we aren't unloading in the dark anymore.

Kids are in good shape. Obi has a tooth extraction coming up.

Scent of the day: Ophelia. Wistful and vulnerable: lotus, water blossom ivy, stargazer lily and white rose. ROSE. ROSE ROSE ROSE. I'm not sure about this.
