Contract Signed!

Just signed the contract for Hand in Glove, a Sexy Short (10,000 words), with Whiskey Creek Press Torrid.
Progress on Jennie slow.  I've been gadding about having a good time, taking photographs.  Here's a clue to where I've been:

Now that's what I call a shoe!  In Jenners, Princes St.
Making some progress with Jennie: mapping out scenes and getting them into order before writing them.  I know when we first meet Rhoda, and how, having lost everything of value, Jennie loses everything else.
I might just be ready for Nanowrimo!

Just received the galley for Virgina.  This is the final stage in the editing process.  I've compared it with the checked version and have reported no errata.  Next (and final) version I receive will be the published PDF.

A Way Forward

I planned to write Jennie as two narratives, inleaved: (1) Jennie; (2) Carol, and bring them together for a finale.  The problem being to write Carol without letting the cat out of the bag.  Today on a walk, I realised I don't have to write from Carol's POV; I merely need to keep the Carol narrative going vicariously, having relevant scenes retailed to Jennie by Rhoda.
If this sounds mysterious, then I'm afraid that's the idea.
Currently, I'm struggling to get Jennie out of the shower with her honour intact.
