Things have been a little slow on the writing front for the last couple of months, but I think I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. I’ve almost hit the 30,000 word mark on Assassin, my next Middlemarch story, and all going well, I should finish the first draft this week. That’s goal number one.
I also have edits for Fancy Free, my most recent sale with Ellora’s Cave, due to hit my in-box this week. That’s goal two - to complete them and get them back to my editor.
And I’m percolating a new story in my head. It’s at the baby stages as yet but will be a paranormal. I’d like to flesh out the characters a bit more, so that’s goal three for this week.
Romancing the Alien is currently on sale at Ellora’s Cave ebay bookstore. It’s down from $17.99 to 13.99 and a bargain because it’s a big fat book! This anthology contains two stories: Talking Dogs, Aliens and Purple People Eaters and Never Send a Dog to do a Woman’s Job. Purchase your print copy here.
I love your titles, Shelley! You sound like you have a lot on the go right now. I can’t wait to read them.

by Lauren Dane July 16th, 2007 at 3:00 pmHeh - i was just whining about needing a new Middlemarch story on my blog this morning. Glad to see you got right on it.

Thanks, Lauren. I think Frauke has done a wonderful job.
Rhian - this story is just for you
I listened when you cracked the whip!
by Shelley Munro July 17th, 2007 at 2:40 amI don’t know when Fancy Free will come out, probably not until early 2008.
Your new blog layout looks terrific, Shelley! Easy on the eyes (which is good since I’m usually trolling blogs in the wee hours!!)
Good luck on your wips!
by Wylie Kinson July 17th, 2007 at 6:50 amSQUEEEE!!!! A Middlemarch story of my very own. That’s better than diamonds! That’s better than chocolate! That’s almost better than coffee! ummmm….(waffling…) okay - YEAH - it’s even better than coffee!
Ah poor Shell - now you’re going to have to put up with my incessant “is it done yet? is it done yet?”
