Ok, folks, I am taking a break this week. A combination of writer's ennui - where I am bored of writing and bored of everything I write - coupled with trying to arrange birthday parties, yes multiple, for my little monkey & bake the requisite goodies means my energy is low and my time even lower.

I will get a little done on The Shadows of Sicily, enough to change the teaser at least.

After that we should have two weeks of normal, then another week off for the Olympics. I'm going to three things, three days in a row, and from what they keep saying about transit, each one will take all day. Talk about poor planning.

Anyhoo, that's that for right now. Will blog about some stuff I've been reading later.
