Words Written: “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” 558
Writing Stats: MILF Anthology: Stories of Older Women and Younger Men, has just been released from Blue Moon Books, containing my story “Mrs. Claus and the Naughty Elf.” Full details are in the bibliography at my website. Received a rejection from Strange Horizons for “What Price Beauty” while I was away. Prepped the story to mail to Son and Foe tomorrow.

This is too nice to be put up in the writing stats: A review from the British magazine For Women:

“Cat Scratch Fever combines a cleverly unfolding mystery with some steamy sex among the animal cages to leave you purring with pleasure.”

I'm inordinately pleased that they described it more like a mystery with sex than the other way around. We wanted the plot to be strong and fun, and it looks like we may have just succeeded!

An SCA friend of ours in Scotland, Gytha, passed away last week. She’d been battling cancer, but she’d sounded so positive in her online journal that it was something of a shock. The SCA and the world lost an amazing woman. And my hatred for LJ has increased, because ever since she announced she had cancer, I’d been trying to leave a message in the comments for her but it kept giving me error messages. (Yes, it’s entirely my own fault that I didn’t try harder to track down her e-mail address, and I’ll carry that with me for a long time.)

If anyone has her husband’s postal mailing address, please e-mail it to me. Thanks.
