to write those final pages, but I can now say that Riley 7 is finished! Yay! And I hit 380 pages precisely, so it was a pretty good guess last blog. :)

Of course, the story may be finished, but now the hard work actually begins, because the thing now has to be edited.  Plus, there’s a heap of stuff that has to be threaded through the first half of the book, because the muse changed several major things about the bad guys in this over the final pages.  But at least its done, and I still have enough time to edit without rushing–which is always a bonus :)

In other news, here’s the cover for the Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance, in which my short story Dreams will appear. Smashing, isn’t it?

    well, actually, I’m several weeks past the original deadline (beginning of March). But I’ve still rewarded myself–just bought a pair of noise reducing headphones for the flight over to RT. (not the Bose ones I wanted through–I just couldn’t justify spending 500 dollars)
