Halfway done with house-sitting. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again. Lots of great (and amusing) news to report.
First, I finished the vampire story, which now needs a title. 'The Vampire Next Door' is cute, but a little to general for my tastes. The story is 18,599 words long, unedited. I may wait a couple of weeks to edit it, as I tend to see the flaws in my work better when I have a little distance from it. I'll probably get started on the sequel soon.
Second, my goblin/faerie story, Slave to the Crown has been accepted by Shadowfire Press. I have been trying to print the contracts since I got the good news, but I had left my printer at home, so I had to go get it. Then, the stupid thing was out of ink (or so I thought) so I had to go home again and get the spare color ink cartridge. It still wouldn't work. I thought the printer was gummed up, so I cleaned it with alcohol and Q-tips. Still nothing. I finally got the cartridge to give a little red ink, so I knew it wasn't the printer. The cartridge was at least a year old (teach me to buy on sale) and the ink wouldn't flow. I tried everything I could think of, and finally, frustrated to the point where I wanted to break things, I sealed my lips around the cartridge and sucked. Needless to say, the ink is flowing now and I can spit in three different colors. >_< The contracts will go out in tomorrow's mail.
Third, because I think I forgot to announce it earlier, you can now follow me on Twitter: katica_locke.
Finally, the GLBT Bookshelf has placed my ebook, Unspoken, in their featured titles section of the GLBT Bookstore. Go check it out! You can find a ton of GLBT and gay books there.
