MISTRAL’S KISS was still on Jon’s desk today, so I had to wait for him to hand it back for me to edit it a little more before it goes off to New York. I’m waiting to go back to the next Anita novel until after I have MISTRAL off, because once I go back to Anita fifteen, I want to immerse myself in it, as much as possible. So I had a chance to sit at the computer and run some ideas up the flag pole and see if anyone saluted. I had three ideas for novellites. One turned out not to be a novel, not a novellite. I’ll have to wait on that one. Richard’s novellite just isn’t ready. That left Edward’s idea. Well, I have nine pages, and a complete first chapter. Very cool. I also have the beginnings of chapter two. All the notes I made earlier won’t even come into play until chapter four. So, it’s a novellite. A novellite that will probably be titled, Edward. How cool is that? Though, since the arduer is still not completely controlled Anita does have to take some of the other guys with her. I know some of you are actually wanting Anita and Edward to date, but so not happening. It would be like dating family. So, Nathaniel and Jason are on the plane with Anita. Yes, Jason, too, because Nathaniel can only feed Anita every other day, or he gets weak. Somehow helping Edward never turns out to be a one day event. So Jason gets to come, too. So far, it’s fun. We’ll see how it goes. Frankly, taking either Jason or Nathaniel into an Edward plot makes me nervous. But it’s hard to travel at the drop of hat with a vampire, that whole daylight problem. So it had to be a lycanthrope. Strangely, with all the men in Anita’s bed, we still don’t have a lycanthrope lover that can take care of himself except for Micah and Richard. Richard won’t go on an Edward adventure, so disapproving. Micah had his book, so I didn’t want it to be him. Funny, sometimes I think we have way too many men, then we hit a plot, or problem, where we don’t have enough people to keep everyone safe. Funny how that works.
