Yay! I have done this . . .

WoooooT! The Shifting Price of Prey has reached The End!

Author's note: reaching The End is a huge, huge milestone *phew*, but the book isn't finished yet. My fantastic critique partner Jaye Wells* and my wonderful Beta readers have to tell me which bits are golden and which bits suck. And then my awesome editor, the lovely (and extremely patient) Gillian (find her here on twitter!) (find her here on twitter!) will be forcing me to eat lunch whilst poking me and the manuscript with a huge and very sharp red pen expertly guiding me to make the book the best it can be! I ♥♥♥ My Editor!

Now I will be doing this to catch up on all things Not The Book!

Except, y'know with more head, hopefully!

(Author's Warning: decapitation only suitable for fictional characters)

And this! 

Except, y'know, without the tennis racket

And some of this! Yay!

So if you're waiting to hear from me about something, anything, or even if you're not *sad face*, thank you for being so patient, and you will hear from me soon as possible! *cross my heart* :-D

And stayed tuned for a wonderful guest post (and giveaway) later today by the fabulous Maria Lima!

*Jaye Wells writes the fang-tastic Sabina Kane series. 

If you're not already reading it, go now and do so! You won't be sorry, I promise!

And just because we do all love Johnny (and nothing to do with spoilers . . . *g*) 

I leave you with this! 

 

Superstitious reading . . .

. . . and one late arrival to the B'day book haul*. Yay!

So, onto superstitious reading . . .

The other day hubby and I were talking about superstitions and he admitted he had one. Not only was this was amazing (I was pretty much under the impression he didn't do superstitions, since that's what he told me when we first met - admittedly a loooooooog time ago - so this was a strange Huh, what? moment for me *g*) but his superstition is a really odd one I've never heard of before.

Here it is!

Whatever book he's reading, when he hits chapter thirteen, he *has* to read it all the way through without stopping**. So he won't start reading unless he knows he's got time to finish!

Weird, huh?

Or maybe it's just me that thinks that?

So, anyone else out there got the same superstition***, or any others to do with reading?


*I haven't read any of Meljean Brook's books before, just a short story which I loved. So I was thrilled when this one turned up in the B'day book haul, although I'm not sure how I managed to add book 3 to my wishlist instead of book 1. Hmm. I quite like reading series in order, so I might have to leave this one further down the TBR pile until I get hold of books 1 & 2.

**What's even weirder, is that we met on the 13th Feb, so thirteen is sort of our lucky number. Go figure :-)

***Of course, if you do, I in no way mean to imply you're weird, just my hubby, and he knows I love him, so he'll forgive me. Probably *g*
