inadvertantly cool :)

Yesterday I was talking to Mom, who said she thought it’d be good if somebody snatched up the rights to do URBAN SHAMAN as a movie as soon as it hit the shelves, especially since if they did it soon, James Garner could play Gary. I said, “Wow, he’d be great!” because, well, he would be. And that I hadn’t thought of that. So I’m working on my BANSHEE CRIES edits. I just discovered a bit where I said Gary gives Jo a grin that would do James Garner’s Maverick…

Wow! Got the comments letter for OPERATION: CARDINAL just now! Zoomy turn-around time on that, which is *wonderful*. Lots of good questions, lots of things I need to focus on and clarify (I don’t think the synopsis I wrote was very good, to tell the truth. It’ll give me a very general framework to work from, but all the questions it raised for Matrice and Natashya (head editor for the Bombshell line) were extremely good and relevant ones. Well, I’ll get better at synopsizing these, I’m sure. It’s a matter…

Bombshell!

FINALLY my website is back up! And so, just in case anybody missed it: I’ve sold two books to Harlequin’s new action-adventure romance line, Bombshell!

Obviously, I spent…

The first book will be out in late 2005 and the second in spring 2006. Wow! WOW! These will be under the pen name Cate Dermody, and the story concept is thus: Alisha McAleer, CIA agent, writes a private, quasi-legal personal journal of her missions before doing her official CIA report. She takes the journal to a bank…

I went to see “Sabrina”, the original, on Monday night, ’cause it was playing at the Bear Tooth. Must say that overall I didn’t think it was quantitatively different from the remake. Except Bogart’s character was a rich socialist and I don’t think Ford’s was. Enjoyed it very much, one way or another. Let’s see, what else. It’s so slippery out it’s hard to go walking. It’s much, much warmer today (36 degrees at 9am) so I will try to get more miles in today, but I donno. Sad. I…
