I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “Beware the Ides of March.” You’re probably even aware that it’s to do with Julius Ceasar. It is part of Shakespeare’s play, Julius Ceasar.

A few weeks ago I was bellyaching about how I had produced books so fast that I had missed out on updating you on two books, between working note installments. Poor me, life is a bitch, huh? Guess what? Done it again. Well, sort of. 🙂 Last working notes, I got to roll in ecstasy

I feel like I’ve been writing this book forever, but in actual fact, I started straight after I launched Lucifer’s Lover, which was …wow, only January 15, 2012.

My best wishes to everyone who celebrated Christmas Day yesterday, and for everyone who got the day off from work, I hope you made the best of it. Of course, I’m writing this somewhere in the past, so I’m not sure yet if I made a very good day of it or not, but I
