If it's Wednesday.....
Random thoughts on -- well, random thoughts.
Mario's signing at TC was a tremendous success! He made the Denver Post's Local Best Seller List at #3-- and not one person in the audience that I heard mentioned his slightly thinning, graying hair. Course I was sitting way in front so I might have missed it....
Had one of those writing weeks when I was just plain tired of my vamp character so I decided to start a new book. No vamps. Got going pretty good when I found out that my publisher at Berkley wants the third Anna Strong book by Sept. 1st-- And here I thought I had a year!!! No more new book for awhile.
And the most disturbing thing of all-- re-read Mario's Nymphos of Rocky Flats. (We had it in critique, of course, but since the publishing business moves at a glacial pace, it's been almost two years since I read it). Anyway, there on page 155 was a reference to a "chupacabra". Where had I heard that before? My dim light bulb brain went on... right here, in one of Marta's first posts. I checked the archives. Sure enough-- Marta's second novel, Barbecue at Motel De Los Montruos, features a chupacabra! But here's the rub-- Marta says it's a goat-killing flying monkey. Mario says it's a demon who drinks goat's blood. Okay, blog partners-- who's got it right????????
