Novella and a Mini-Meme.

[misslj_author]

Some wonderful news - my novella, Life And Nothing But, has been accepted for publication by Noble Romance Publishers. It has a release date of April 25th, 2011 and I'm very excited. I rather suspect as the date gets closer and the cover art is done that there will be more posts about it. And, no doubt, about other projects that I have on the go as well. My brain is full of ideas but alas, between pain and weather, the body is not so willing. There really needs to be a way to plug my brain directly into my laptop so I can think my ideas into a Word document. That would be awesome.

For something a little different now, a mini-meme:

Name: L.J., although my friends call me Star.
Favorite genre to write: Historical m/m (predominantly medieval and Byzantine eras), paranormal m/m.
Favorite genre to read: Fantasy (witches, wizards, magic, dragons, etc.), history text books and biographies... actually, if the blurb sounds interesting, chances are I'll read it.
General location: Adelaide, South Australia.
One Professional goal: To finish my very long novel without pulling out all of my hair. To finish the co-written novel (Chiaroscuro.) and get it out this year.
One Personal goal: To visit New Zealand this year.
One interesting fact about you: I used to manage a local punk rock band. They never really made any money, but it was a lot of fun. What's another one that isn't so well known... hrm. Oh. My next mobile phone will most likely be a smartphone (Nokia), as my current Nokia's buttons are too small for me to use easily with one very bad, almost non-working hand. It makes me sad, as it's a very pretty phone.
And anything else you want to add: I lurk on mailing lists, therefore I am? :)

Tell me about yourselves, dear flist. I'm curious and interested in what you all read/write/aspire to do/like to do/interesting things.

Name: Rowena ;)

Favorite genre to write: Historical m/m, and I too love Medieval more than any other time period.

Favorite genre to read: I also read history texts...but the one thing I end up reading the most of is children's literature.

General location: Southern California

One Professional goal: To complete the triology that started with The King's Tale. I am midway through writing book two.

One Personal goal: I would love to visit Cornwall and Wales some day.

One interesting fact about you: I always freeze at this question, I'm not sure that I'm all that interesting really. ;) I've hiked to the top of the same mountain in California twice after vowing the first time I'd never do it again since it nearly killed me!

And anything else you want to add: I'm glad to meet you! :)

That's great news! But so with you on the plug brain into laptop thing. Or at least, plug notebook into laptop. I tend to write manuscript and then struggle to find the time/motivation to type things up.

Name: Angharad
Favorite genre to write: Fantasy; also poetry both mundane and fantastical
Favorite genre to read: Fantasy, sci-fi, literary fiction, non-fiction on maths, science, politics (anything really - I am one of those annoying people who will read your book over your shoulder on the bus)
General location: Adelaide, South Australia.
One Professional goal: Finishing a book, publication
One Personal goal: Finish book (obsessed much?)
One interesting fact about you: Hmm, where to start...I work fulltime while my husband is a stay at home parent; I once cooked for 150 people (not all by myself thankfully!); I have double-jointed fingers and toes
And anything else you want to add: Hi Star!
