I’m exhausted. I’ve been lugging around planks of wood, posts and fencing tools all day, assisting Mr. Munro and his brother to make fences to protect newly planted trees from stock damage. Oh, and I laughed at Mr. Munro when he was attempting to drive in nails and missing the nail totally with the hammer. Not that I could do any better you understand. It’s not easy driving huge nails into posts. I fed my father’s cows raw carrots and can report they have long black, sticky tongues. Eek! I’ve definitely turned into a real townie. Anyway, Mr. Munro and I are home now and relaxing with an alcoholic beverage each. Roll on the work week so we can coast along and rest!
Two new book reviews to hand:
Peeping Tom - “Ms. Munro did an awesome job with PEEPING TOM. I enjoyed this book. It was well written, beautifully paced, and just the right length. I liked the “angst” that permeates the room when Tom and Felix interact. The sex scenes have just the right amount of heat to make them perfect. This is a good one to be recommended to all my shape shifter loving friends.” Ladybirdrobi, Romance Junkies.
Sex, Spies and Sapphires - “Sex, Spies and Sapphires is a well-paced, very clever story with three sexy key characters that desire each other, which heat up the sensual love scenes enough to melt your hard drive. Sarah wants both men, so she makes love to Thomas one day and Flynn the next. Shelly Munro has created a Mission Impossible plot with new twists and turns that will keep you guessing to the surprising end. This is a great story that I enjoyed immensely.” Rosemary, Joyfully Reviewed.
congrats Shell on the great reviews. Loved both books but Peeping Tom totally rocked.

Hehehe! Men always brag about being oh-so efficient with tools. It’s funny to watch them stumble around with them.
As for the reviews, congrats on these new awesome ones! ;)
by Tempest Knight October 28th, 2007 at 8:18 pmThanks, Rhian. I can report that the next Middlemarch book is in my editor’s in-box. It took me a while this one but I think it’s good. At least, I like it

by Amy Ruttan October 29th, 2007 at 7:27 amLol on the cows. I’m a country girl at heart; I don’t mind their tongues and I know how to get the milk out of them.
Congrats on the reviews.
by Gabriele October 29th, 2007 at 10:27 amMy husband built a fence a few years ago. He was very particular and didn’t get it finish until early December. And yes, December in Canada is freaking cold.
Congratulations on the fantastic reviews!
