Spirit Willing, Flesh Weak is up on the Little Black Dress website…there’s a blurb, the cover, and an extract of the first two chapters up.
In other news, I haven’t disappeared…I’m just still on holiday. I have a bunch of photos to put up and lots of stories and stuff, but I have succumbed to the phenomenon our family calls “CRS”.
“CRS” stands for “Can’t Remember Shit” and it is a syndrome that affects people when they are on holiday in proximity to a large body of water. You tend to spend large amounts of time gazing at the water, or watching storms move across it, or marvelling at its tranquillity, or spotting creatures in it, or swimming or wading around in it, or finding interesting rocks in it, and your rational mind sort of drains away, and you forget about normal daily concerns like not tracking sand into the house or writing blog posts or indeed, getting dressed.
Tomorrow I fly to Maryland, to see Kathy and Lisa again, and then I fly to the UK on Thursday night, and then on Friday afternoon I have my ultrasound scan, so I will be back on Friday, most likely with news, hopefully good.
If the CRS has abated by then, that is.
I just read the extract of Spirit Willing. I’m gonna have to go and buy it because I really want to know what happens next!
Take it easy while you can, Julie.
What a rip-roaring excerpt, Julie!
Thanks Leonie and Fiona. I absolutely love the way these Little Black Dress books look and I hope you enjoy the book if you read it!
Liz, I am taking it easy, thanks…though I’m getting antsy to write more. I’ve done 1000 words a day, on a strict limit, for the past two days, and I feel like I want to get my teeth stuck in now (as soon as I figure out a way to make the story not suck). Not writing makes me cranky!
Just read it Julie – whew, what an excerpt. Can’t wait to get my hands on the rest. Have alovely holiday by the sea.
Great excerpt, Julie.
Had me totally hooked and I want to read more!!!
Lovely excerpt Julie.
Glad you are having a lovely relaxing time.
I’ve pre-ordered it. *Huge Beaming Grin*
And your description of spending time in the presence of large bodies of water nearly induced in me a screaming tantrum. Wanna be there!!!
If? What do you mean *if* I read it it? After that cliff-hanger, how could I not?
Julie, I hope your journey home is safe and not too disrupted. Look after you and Fecklet and good luck with the scan.
Spirit Willing Flesh Weak looks FABULOUS and it is sitting in my shopping basket at Amazon awaiting release date and delivery!!
Take care,
Love,
Mags
Safe journey, sweets! Hope the travel back isn’t too distressing.
Have a safe journey home, Jullie.
