Life with this Guy

So, I should have added a #11 to my 10-true-things about my husband post last month. But here we go, Number 11: he likes to ‘help’ me write my books.

The other day I was called away from the story I’m working on at the moment by one of the kids, so left my poor characters in mid scene. (My characters are EXTREMELY accustomed to this, so don’t feel too sorry for them or anything). An elderly, battle scarred warrior had just told my narrator, “We can’t go back.”

Now, obviously you’re missing just a bit here in terms of like the entire story, who these characters are, just what was going on in this scene, etc. But trust me, it is a MOMENT, right? A big, dramatic, slightly teary moment.

So, I was called away, and when I came back to my computer, the line read, “We can’t go back. But we could always send the penguins.”

Oh, he is so helpful, that husband of mine!

Though he did make me the utterly gorgeous cover for my coming-soon short story The Witch Queen’s Secret. Isn’t it amazing? I’ve got a description of the story up now, and will have the story itself there very very soon. I’m just waiting on word from my publishers about where exactly it’s going to live on Kindle and other e-reader sites. But it will DEFINITELY be available for free download here.

So yeah, guess I will keep my husband around. He makes really really cute babies, too.

   Sounds like he has a sense of humor as well!! I didn’t realize there was going to be this short story – can’t wait to read it!

   What a sweetie of a guy?! Definitely makes you rethink things a bit.
   Didn’t know about the short story either. Very cool. Is that the new cover for Dark Moon? It’s pretty. Release day will be here before you know it!
