And at last, the war I was waging against Orange since October is over, and I have won :-) This morning I took delivery of one of these, and Lou should be receiving hers anytime now too.
Hurrah!
I've been teaching in Edinburgh this week and managed to make a start on writing "Chest" between courses in restaurants, and although not much has been done as yet I'm pleased with it. This one is a strange one though as it is inspired by something else - all will be revealed when the story is finished. The next stories, "Clone" (which I can't wait to write, although it will be very short indeed), "Deep" (kind of an experimental thing), and "Eternity" (horror, basically) are still in progress in my head. No plans for "F" yet. Wondered how I'm picking the titles by the way? Well, when I'm doing a bit of reading at night if a word starting with the next letter I'm working on jumps out at me and gives me an idea, that's the one I go for. For example, when I was recently reading a (frankly disappointing) book called "Distance" by Ewan Morrison which was about a couple saying goodbye to each other at Edinburgh Airport and then continuing their relationship via phone sex and the like, on one single page I found the words "Airport" and "Bondage", which explains the first two titles.

well done you and did you know there is already an alphabet set of novels by Sue Grafton!!!
Hi Tara!
I did actually - has she completed them now? My project is a bit different though as there could be a few for each letter (so far there has been 1 A, 2 Bs, and I'm currently working on 2 Cs) but that's just me being awkward. Hope you've been reading them so far! (BTW Gutted - you're not down as a follower of my blog!)
