I’ve just realized it’s only a month until Mr. Munro and I head off on holiday again. It’s our wedding anniversary at the beginning of September and we’re flying to Hawaii for two weeks to take a cruise around the different islands. Should be lots of fun and it will be nice to see some sunshine for a change. I mentioned over at Dynamic Trio a few posts ago about buying a bikini. Well, mission accomplished. I ended up buying one from my favorite mail order company, and Mr. Munro whistled when I modeled my new purchase. He’s such a sweetie!
Writing wise, I’ve just finished the first draft of my next Middlemarch story. I’m going to let Assassin sit for a week or so before I go back to it. Meantime, my agent suggested I try to write for one of the Harlequin lines. That’s my next task after I complete edits on Fancy Free. Fancy Free was known as “Snap” in a previous life and will be coming out with Ellora’s Cave, probably early next year. Update: edits almost done!
This weekend we’re doing lots of family stuff. Last night it was dinner at a local pub for my nephew’s birthday and tomorrow our family is getting together for a mid-year Christmas dinner. Remember it’s winter down here so a hot dinner makes sense for those who live downunder.
And finally, I’ll be at the Romance Galleria for a chat on 1 August at 9.00 pm EST. If you haven’t visited the Romance Galleria before go and check it out. I downloaded the software this afternoon and had lots of fun trying to hustle my body around the rooms. I think we’re in the cafe for the chat.
What are you doing this weekend? How’s your job going? Are you heading off on holiday soon? Have you purchased a new binkini recently? Come on – speak to me

Well dang Shell. Okay – insert memory of Jaci’s hoochey girl HERE.
Purchase a bikini? LMAO!!!! Those bikini days are WAY WAY WAY behind me! Though i did buy a ridiculously expensive swimsuit earlier this year before we went to Disney. It was the only one I could find that had adequate support for the girls. Gravity is not the aging woman’s friend.

I wish I could still wear a bikini. Those days are long gone I’m afraid.
That sounds like an awesome trip. I’m sure you can’t wait to go.

I did! For the first time in nearly 20 years, I bought three two piece bathing suits this summer. Of course they’re not bikinis in the traditional sense, they have boyshort bottoms but still. My husband is very happy, LOL.
And I’m so glad Snap has a home at EC, it’s such a great story, it should be out there for people to see.
And yep, going on holiday in less than a month now. Vegas for 4 days with my dude.

Bikini – yey. Vacation – double yey! Finishing WIP – priceless.
And congrats on “snap” and it’s new home. Can’t wait to read!!!

Rhian: a hoochie girl, huh? I’ll have to get some more icons. I’m obviously missing out!
Lucinda: Yes, I am looking forward to our holiday, although I keep seeing disaster documentaries on TV about Hawaii. If it’s not blowing its top, it’s being flooded by huge waves. There’s a show on Saturday about all the bugs and insects there. I just can’t wait to add to my list of nasties
Lauren – Great stuff. My bikini has the boyshorts, too. I hate the briefs that ride up when wet.
Thanks, re Fancy Free. I’m so glad I’ve found a new home for this story.
Red: Love your slogan. You’ve been watching commericials!
