I am LOVING all the food requests at <a href="http://lisamantchev.livejournal.com/340771.html">the online ARC tea party</a>. OK, it's become obvious that I have TOTALLY different taste in desserts than many people - but that's fun, too! And mostly, I just love that so many people are playing along. :)
(And FWIW, I personally believe that traditional cream teas are the most blissful culinary experience EVER. I grew up reading Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels novels where American heroines go to England and get teased by the hero for going SO INSANE over the cream teas...and guess what? They were totally right.) (In both respects, actually. Unlike me, Patrick is not a cream tea fan, possibly because cream is not vegan.)
In other news, remember the urban werewolf anthology I talked about, the one that's going to publish my story "Locked Doors"? The editor, Ekaterina Sedia, has just posted the Table of Contents, and it looks awesome. Now I'm even more excited about it!
And this week we are being astonishingly social, since some wonderful friends have come into town. No, this doesn't mingle well with my plan to finish Kat Book 3 by this Sunday...but it has been really wonderful and fun, especially after our last month of being hermits in our writing cave. I did have one moment where I wondered whether I should stay home and write instead of hanging out...and then I thought, Are you CRAZY, woman?! Because our friends are only here for four days, and this is, after all, a self-imposed deadline. All the same, I'm sneaking in 500 words here and there every day, so the end is getting closer...and closer...
