Friends, please email me and I will get you all squared out.

Thanks again to Michelle Rowen for coming by and hanging out with us!

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for…

The winner of July writing contest is…

Bettie!

…with this delicious entry.

Ingrid’s gin-and-tonic sat in a puddle on the scarred table—sweating, like everything else. The ice had melted in minutes; nothing could stay cold in this place, nor dry. When she tried to sleep, the sheets and mosquito netting stuck to her skin like wet tissue.

The radio hiccoughed. Duke Ellington became noticias; lights flickered, the fans slowed. The generator must want petrol.

She’d the tin in her hand when she got outside and heard the generator’s well-fed chug over the jungle’s nighttime chatter.

A match flared in the shadow of the pump-house. Ruiz appeared in lantern light, leaning against the steel wall like he’d never left. He’d three days of black stubble, and a sheen of sweat that she wanted to lick off him.

Hot breath and hot mouths; he tasted of Scotch, she of gin. Her hands slid from his sweat-slick skin – he’d always been hard to hold onto.

“Why’d you return?”

Silent, he undid her shirt, baring her body to the thick night air and his dark eyes.

She struggled against the heat of his hands. “It’s too hot.”

He reversed their positions, pressing her naked skin against the cool steel wall. She sighed.

“Better?”

“Oh, yes…”

Girl, please email me and claim your 50 bucks. YAY FOR YOU!!!

Everyone else, thanks for entering the contest. See you next month. Stay frosty!

    Congrats Linda and Crystal!

    And Thanks to Bam and everyone who voted for freeing me from the endless wait of the library’s hold lists. I can buy books!!! Woo hoo! New books! And I can take them to the beach with me, and read them over breakfast, and dog-ear the pages to my heart’s content because they’ll be mine…

    Sorry. It’s been a while since I last bought a book.

    So happy. :o )

    Yay, Bettie! Will you please write a full length novel already? 75K plus. Then I can buy it and appoint myself head of your fan club.

    You can’t marry me once you’re rich and famous, though. I’m sorry. Our love is forbidden, except in Massachusetts and New Jersey. (And they may have changed the rulings by now.)

    Don’t worry, Ann(ie), you can still sue me for palimony.

    Thanks for the vote(s) of confidence. Any advice for those wishing to make the jump from novella-ist to novelist?

    Uhm. Yes! Start writing. Don’t end the book until you have 75K plus words. Make sure it has action, conflict, cool characters (and a sex scene never hurts). I think that pretty much covers it.
