I have a new interview up at Manic Readers. BTW, if you’re an author you can sign up for a free page at Manic Readers. Here’s mine.
Yay! I have a new sale to report. I’ve sold a Quickie to Ellora’s Cave. It’s called Fringe Benefits and is a friends with benefits story as well as a threesome. It’s a hot little number. 
Finally, we had a fine day today, and I went for a long cycle ride. Unfortunately all that fresh air was a bit too stimulating for my brain, because I had two ideas for stories and one in particular is screaming, “Write. Me. Now.” Not gonna happen. I’ve done a note to jog my memory at a later date, and I’m ploughing ahead with my sci-fi story.
We went out for lunch with friends yesterday and had both great food and company. I take my camera with me everywhere and decided I needed a photo of my cherry beer. I’d taken a couple of sips. A passing waiter asked if I’d like some froth on top for my photo. “Yes, please!” I said and he took away my drink, returning seconds later with some nice froth on top. Wasn’t he nice?
Did you have a fun weekend?

Hi Shelley,
by Jane June 30th, 2008 at 1:46 amCongrats on the sale. Can’t wait to read Fringe Benefits. Stayed home all weekend. The weather was hot and there were plenty of thunderstorms.
Great interview, and congrats on the sale!
by JK Coi June 30th, 2008 at 6:31 amMy weekend was busy, and not with writing, so now I feel a little stressed, but I have a few days off from the day job still, so hopefully I’ll be getting down to business.
Was sick, but I got caught up on Dr. Who and some writing.
Congrats on the sale, you’re on fire woman.
I have a Manic Readers page but I need to do more with it. :)
by Amy Ruttan June 30th, 2008 at 8:44 amYour Manic Readers page is great. And congrats on your sale. You have real self-discipline with your new story idea – it’s hard to resist that seduction.
I went out to dinner with my cousin and she bought her dress for the Ritas at RWA nationals. Then we saw ‘Wanted’ with James McAvoy, which we LOVED.
by julia June 30th, 2008 at 9:01 amCongrats on the sale and on the new ideas for books. I walked on the beach early in the morning and plotted my new scenes.
by Mona Risk June 30th, 2008 at 9:48 amCongrats on the sale.
Never go outside. Those evil plotbunnies lurk everywhere, and they pounce.
by Gabriele June 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pmCongrats on the sale!
Worked in my flower garden this weekend.
by Estella June 30th, 2008 at 1:51 pmLOL – Gabriele. You and your plot bunnies! They obviously have large, sharp teeth since you’re so frightened of them.
Jane – you can keep your thunderstorms. I’ve had enough lately to last for a while!
JK – take some deep breaths. Stress is not good!
Amy – I hope you’re feeling better now.
Julia – the new story idea has been whispering seductively ever since it arrived!
Mona – I love walking on the beach!
Estella – my hubby is the gardener. He’s complaining about last night’s frost killing his potatoes. Not a happy camper at the moment!
by Shelley Munro June 30th, 2008 at 2:08 pmThey do have large, sharp teeth, Shelley, but the problem is that I write so slowly and there are so many of them.
by Gabriele June 30th, 2008 at 4:55 pmYay congrats on your new sale, Shelley!
by Christina Phillips June 30th, 2008 at 8:06 pmGabriele – they’re attack bunnies! They obviously have rabbit characteristics when it comes to breeding, too.
by Shelley Munro June 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pmThanks, Christina!
