So I checked the list of stories that will be included in the next batch of Pocket Book/Ellora's Cave and didn't see Summer there. I was pretty excited though because Arianna Hart is in there YAY!! And Shannon Stacey! But it turns out, I'm a goober, because a few minutes later, Charli sent a note saying glad to be in there with you. I'm in! Futurelove, which hasn't been a big seller, but don't tell anyone , is going to be in print! And with Pocket Books, so we're talking big-gish time again. AND it's with Shannon Stacey and Charli! How in hell I didn't notice my name with Shannon's, never mind. I'll go back and see if she's going to be in two collections. Charli is! Okay back to the dancing and whooping! !!!!!!!!! I love Shannon Stacey and Charlene Teglia . [even if I can't spell her last name first time out] And now I get to be in a book with them? Not literally, but it feels pretty damn great. This is beyond awesome into...into....

You know what? I am so smart it is unbelievable. I should be an editor, I'm that smart. ** I knew Linda Winfree was going to sell soon when I read a chapter or two of her unpubbed stuff. I knew Linda Gayle was, too. I was certain Shannon Stacey would be a good writer just because she's so dang funny. Larissa I Dionne (and I didn't even know she wanted to do Le Fiction) MelJean and lots of other people? I was fully aware that they were all that and lotsa bags of chips as well. AND I figured this out just from reading their blogs or their emails. (Okay, I read the Lindas' fiction.) So someone else I'd decided is going to have a brilliant fiction-writing career has just been launched on her way. Ha. I TOLD you so. I'm always right, okay? And if I'm not it's only because someone else screwed up somehow, maybe. In the meantime, Bron, Doug, Carrie--it's only a matter of time. See above, please. (Beth, you too, except for the giving up part) I'll put in...
