Orca and Edits

I’m busy with edits at the moment. As luck would have it, they’ve all arrived at once, which means I’m going to be a little quiet for the next few days.

Tomorrow is the start of my spotlight week at Long and Short Reviews. Here’s the link. I’m giving away a few prizes, so come along and check it out.

On Friday a young female orca washed up on the West Coast. She was loaded on a trailer and taken across Auckland, with a police escort, for release from Takapuna beach on the East Coast. Boat traffic seemed to confuse the orca, and DOC staff are asking the public to ring them in the case of a sighting. Here’s the full story here.

Did you have a fun weekend?

    I’m still in my cave getting something ready to send off, and trying to finish a couple of more projects.

    That’s basically me in a nutshell.

    Oh, edits yay! And can I say you are an evil woman? Telling me about those contests, I spent a good couple of hours today entering various ones. And I’m so excited about the upcoming Middle Marches books! Wa-hoo!
    Take Care,

    Gabriele – we had bad thunderstorms all weekend. Thank goodness they seem to have finished.

    Amy R – you sound like me. I’m scrambling to get everything done before conference.

    Amy W – Good luck with the contests. Yes, it’s not long until Assassin is out. I can’t wait either!

    Paz – thanks! There’s been a lot of discussion about the Orca. People are saying they shouldn’t have released it in the unfamiliar area. So far, it hasn’t beached again.

    Hi Kota – no, it’s not a Middlemarch. The next Middlemarch is Assassin, which is out on 6 August. Not long to wait now.
