Which is a shame,  Mica, 'cause doesn't that have a heap of
zing, hmm?   Shades of Virginia aside...:)

[I really do think these publishers need some title
gurus...]

Nup!  <head shaking going on> Not *ever* going to happen!
Believe me.    I think it's an Oz-male thing.  Most Oz-fems wouldn't even
score matching pillowcases...;)

Ah, good.  This helps.  But, I cannot sit in public and hold up that
title.  Truly.  This one will have to go undercover.  :)

It arrived, Mica.  You're doin' ok as a scanner-girl!
It is never surprising to me, tho',  when people say they
buy books by writer name, not by title, not by graphics....<g>

Oh!  I didn't even realise that site was Walt's doing!  That is
impressive!  I actually thought it was set up by the
Temptation publishing house and hence the expected professionalism.  Well,
well!  <Go, Walt!>

OK.  I have just finished FIRST PERSON PLURAL by Cameron West.  This looks
like SECOND PERSON PLURAL.  <grin>    You are Michaila Callan, on what, odd
days?   Alison Kent on even, and Mica in between....:) ??   And co-conscious
to boot.  :)  And this Bouquet is out this year too!?  Where am I in
October....?  Where, where...?

Getting so confused with all these plans -- but it is Venice... Sleeping in
the very room Tintoretto studied chairoscuro...
There I don't think I will be finding Michaila Callan on the shelves...But,
heck, there are some compensations.

:)
