...and it makes me wanna whimper. Even though it matches my icon pretty well. Okay. Um. This weekend was a blur. Most of it spent at the church or shopping or bleeding. Yes, bleeding. I was practicing...around. Oh, hey, firetrucks. I get all this done, and I'm curling up with a supergood book I've been wanting to read. SO THERE, WRITING GODS!

But yeah, so that's what's going down with me. See you all around!!!!! ~kysis PS: I still can't get that damn LJ Cut to work right. *sigh*
My short story, "Hot and Wet," is up at Ruthie's Club now! When a fireman answers an arson call, what he finds may be too hot to handle. Mike found her in the second office he searched. She sat calmly...to ignore how soft her skin was as it gave beneath his fingers. She smelled of burnt matches and kerosene. Read more!

There have... and then having nothing happen for such a long time, it's great to be back on track. Well, that's how it feels at any rate. I am blessed. Thank you to everyone for their support.

Well, I still haven't come down from the high of finding out I would have a short story published for the first time. That said, my novel is still a WIP, and I have no idea if it will be the one to break... So published authors, I'm honestly asking here: Where would you rather be placed (other than front and center with a placard that says, "BUY ME!" like J.A. Konrath's latest booktrailer )
