Santa Baby

Christmas has come and gone already??
Where did it go? I barely had time to get used to the idea!

Seriously, though—here’s hoping everyone enjoyed their holiday, and it was full of lots of love, sharing, and enough good food to make it special. :)

Santa was pretty good to me, bless his heart. I don’t have a lot of relatives, and don’t always get along with the ones I do have, but they are precious to me. And I don’t have a lot of friends, but the ones I have are very special. Scratch that…they’re downright AWESOME. And having that can go a long way toward making some of the rough times better.

One of my favorite gifts from Santa? They were all favorites.
One that I’m going to talk about here?
Well, Santa opened that great big satin-lined red grab bag of his for me, and lo and behold…

I sold another manuscript to Samhain.
The jolly old gent must’ve known I sorely needed it, lol. Amazingly, this was the revise and resubmit story from earlier this year, which I was pretty sure was dead in the water. Sort of a rebirth for Christmas. Imagine that!

So far, it’s being given a release date of June 2012. But I’ll discuss details later. I just really liked the story, and I’m glad I’ll be able to share it.

Happy Holidays, everyone. And may I just say…
Whew!!

Yes, Virginia…


…I am a lousy blogger, lol.

It is a busy time of year for pretty much everyone, and I simply haven’t had a lot to report. And while I do post on the Chica site weekly, I like to save the more personal stuff for here.
I am waiting for something special, but have no idea when that may come.
I haven’t managed to get into the holiday spirit yet, but I’m expecting it any minute.
And I have been writing–and that is my gift to myself this year! This week, I actually found myself stumbling out of a nice, warm bed, half-asleep, to grope for the pen and paper I’d relegated to my dresser instead of the nightstand–because a snippet of great dialogue had come to me just as I was drowsing off! Isn’t that great?!

Hope you’re finding time to enjoy this gracious season. :)
