The campaign blog is here:

Good luck Patricia - I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you tomorrow.

I'll be so happy when everyone puts their proper clothes back on. I feel like I am stuck in a talking laundry basket.

I have my fingers crossed

We are also getting a lot of cuts in education here as well. So many are losing their jobs (many who have years of experience).

Currently writing a supernatural mystery under my pen name Jo Moriss (that's where my nickname comes from, sort of )

EDIT: and as ever, here's a cover to go with it

Oooo, I love paranormal mystery (wait, is that the same as supernatural?).

Jo Moriss, hummm.... do you have something out there that you haven't told us about yet?

This is my first time in this thread and this was the first post I saw. I'm laughing so hard right now! That's what I'm doing....

I write under 5 names:

PJ Lyon (personal, magical realism, odd stuff)
Jo Morris (supernatural/paranormal mystery)
Liz Susans (action/paranormal romance)
William Gill (thriller/mystery)
Maurice Gordon (adventure)

I'm quite busy most of the time

Finished painting the entry hall, vacuumed and mopped the floor in the entry. Tonight, I will be making some new seat pads for the kitchen chairs, maybe. Tomorrow, I might paint the entry bathroom. Formal inspection is only a few days away, must keep nose to grindstone. (Munching pain pills the whole time .... you just haven't lived until you've balanced on a ladder painting 20 foot high walls while tripping out on Vicodin.)

Thanks, everyone.

Ricky, isn't a person supposed to rest a broken wrist? But I'm impressed with all your energy.

Ah ha. You have (are) a very multifaceted talent.

Is your work available elsewhere?

Edit: love the cover.

Just finished writing a paper on the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, now I'm trying to cool down a bit. Seriously though... I have a twitter account, but writing what I'm doing more than once a week or so seems REALLY self-centered. Are we supposed to record every time we get up to go to the bathroom?

Which reminds me, something similar to your avatar showed up in my dreams last night... very disturbing it was, too.

Not yet. I have quite a few novels here completed, I'm just sitting on them at the moment

Under William Gill - Kenny Kestrel series (gossip journalist/investigator in Hollywood who keeps stumbling across muders along with his paparazzi sidekick) The Last Headline, The Director's Cut, The Tenth Action Hero, Cold, Dead Hands

Joe Luna series - The Blue Turk (discraged hypnotist turned private investigator in the London leading up to the 2012 olympics)

Under Liz Susans - Dawn Rider Trilogy (mechanic and monster hunter) - Dawn Rider, Blood Run, Low Rider.

Shadowboys Trilogy (YA) - a young girl joins a fraternity of those who ferry the dead from one world to the other.

Bubblegum & Beasts - successful comic-book creator finds herself the center of the world she has created.

Under Maurice Gordon - The Razor (adventure about the search for a secret Nazi U-Boat thought to have been used to find the lost city of Atlantis)

Under Jo Morris - Lazarine (the bloodline of Lazarus is found to be the origin of vampires, and now they've returned)

The Cage - (a werewolf fighter leaves his pack but no matter where he goes he cannot escape the violence that haunts him)

The Underwood series - (an investigator who is contacted by the dead through an old mechanical typewriter that his dead wife wrote the partial note that would tell him who killled her)

And quite a few others I can't remember off the top of my head

See Moejoe's twitter feed (typewriterhead), or VeryShortStory. Unlike some of us

, some folks don't use twitter as the /dev/null for the minutiae of daily life.

Not me. That's what I got this here milk bottle for.

One should be resting before an important day.

May your dreams be of victory...
