Kibbles And Bits, Realm's Faire Stockade, The Day Of The Doctor

I need to keep moving on ESCALTAION and the MS is moving right along! So I'll keep today's post short and sweet.
 
NaNo: As crazy as this sounds, as I'm trying to wrap up ESCALATION, I'm going to join NaNo for November and write a book I have outlined three years ago.
 
This is a psychological thriller ala Stephen King from his early days. But forget these full length novels. This one will be a 175 page novella and I am not going to surpass that page number no matter what. But rest assured, this story is going to be real cool and very scary. And creepy.

Realm's Faire Stockade: Okay, this is a short post. And you took the time to stop by. So I'll include a pic of me in stockades. This is in preparation for Gwen Gardner's  Realm's Faire Stockade, for better or worse. Why am I smiling? Can somebody please get me a glass of grog? Make it three. I think I'm going to need them. Oktoberfest isn't over yet.

    Hi Stephen .. good heavens - thanks for alerting me to the 23rd November .. I might even watch. I sort of waft in and out of the Doctor series ... but the press build ups are good ..

    Keep going with Escalation .. I'm sure you've got a great trilogy here with Chase Manhattan and his determination to win through .. I thoroughly enjoyed Breakthrough .. and will I'm sure the next ... but then NANO too ... have fun with that .. cheers Hilary

    A novella a la Stephen King? Yay! I adore horror and something scary/creepy would be awesome. Wishing you the best for NaNo!

    Thanks for your good wishes on Alex's blog about my cover reveal. I really appreciate them! :-)

    Stephen! Oh my gosh- you're doing NaNo? Yay! Will you be my writing buddy? My NaNo name is Bevimus. I'll send you happy nano messages and cheer you on!

    That stockade picture it a hoot! Me me giggle.

    I'm odd man out on Dr. Who, having never been a fan of the series (there are so few of us left in the world, thankfully for you Who fans.) But hazah for all of you- live it up!

    Also going to give NaNo a go, for the first time! And thanks for the Doctor Who heads up - better watch the last 2 episodes from last series that have been on the tv planner for ever!
