I have nothing to say. Seriously, nothing.
Well, one thing: There is a
collection of short stories, some written by me, some written by me and Ellen,
some written by Ellen. The title is a
play on a state characteristic called Minnesota Nice: Minnesota Vice. Because currently the most famous pseudonym
of the two of us is Monica Ferris, the publisher is Monica Ferris
Presents. All the stories are previously
published and I think at least some of them are damn clever. This is an ebook available on Amazon and
Kindle. A hard copy in Trade Paperback
format is coming very soon.
And wait a minute, here’s
something else: We are also working on
republishing a collection of stories set in a late-medieval nunnery, something
I wrote while establishing and exploring my “persona” in the Society for
Creative Anachronism. I used serious
research into medieval nunneries and the Holy Rule of St. Benedict to establish
the place, and at the same time named the nunnery Deer Abby and described the
Mass Priest assigned there, Father Hugh of Paddington, as a “small brown fellow
with kind, anxious eyes, who means well.”
The abby’s proper name is Abatia Cervi Albi, Abby of the White Stag,
from the vision of St. Eustace. Look for it soon as an e-book titled The
Chronicles of Deer Abby.

So you did have something to say, and it involves publishing. Well done!
Good luck with your publishing ventures.
Oh awesome! ! ! ! I am almost finished with my ebook, so I will keep an eye out for your Deer Abby works. Ah, the twist of a phrase can put a gleam in another's eye.
You're so right, Gail. And once you've been writing for awhile, just about any work or phrase will set off an idea that sometimes becomes the kernel of an idea for a story.
