Start of the season

It's like hearing the first cuckoo - the first tourist who walks in through the door of the shop and remarks, "Do you sell the Nimbus 2000?" Well, we've never heard THAT one before!

A sure sign of spring.

We don't go much for jokey plaques, etc, but we do have one that reads "A lovely lady and a grumpy old git live here.' I'd have put it outside our own front door, but Trevor objected to being described as a lady.

*Every woman* who comes into the shop comments favourably on it. I don't even have to raise my head to see what they're looking at any more.

In more serious news, I have finished the line edit on PRECIOUS DRAGON - happily, as an express train deadline rushes towards us. I'm about half way through the short story that will accompany the limited edition. Also, sitting in the dealers' room yesterday and idling about with stories, I suddenly had an idea for the ending of a stalled story and set about finishing it. So, in between accounts and Milford and shop and waiting for proposals, I'm going to try and get some short fiction done this week.

I saw one of the plaques on your stall at Eastercon and I was sooooo tempted. When I've thought of a suitable place to put it, I'll buy one. *g*

We're getting some more in!

Good. I'm looking forward to PRECIOUS DRAGON.

The funniest thing I've ever had someone ask me is "Can you make people trip?" I tried to explain the threefold law to her, but she just thought it would be neat to be able to make people trip with magick.

Ooh. Want plaque, please! ::grabby hands:: (How much?) My parents live in London; maybe I could organize payment and shipping via them?

Perhaps you should tell T to hush up, sit there and look pretty. :-)

And congrats on the line edit wrapup and the restarted story. Now that Sabre Dance is out the door, I need to do some short fiction myself, particularly for S&S 22.
