I have just edited chapter 18

[kiya]

of the next romance novel in the series I edit, which ends on the line:

"There was a difficult rooster."

(I am posting this primarily to make ivy laugh.)

One must suppose this is "difficult for a rooster", because in the general scheme of things they all are.

(huzzah! progress! as appropriate.)

[kiya]

The difficult rooster in question was an escaped fighting cock whose attempted route to freedom pathed directly through the speaking character.

[ivy]

This is completely hilarious. Mission accomplished!

Kiya came to me with that conversation, and I needed a modestly illegal scene!

(This book actually comes with three dangerous birds: the rooster, swans, and a giant Eurasian eagle-owl named Theodora. Like you do.)

[ivy]

Swans will fuck you up! They are beautiful but they are default not nice! (Now I want to read this book.)

[kiya]

Also nabbing them is moderately treasonous!

(I will make a post when it comes out for you. ;) )

[ivy]

Thanks!

[jenett]

It'll be out sometime in February!

(And yes, that is also my thought on swans. In contrast, the eagle-owl is very well behaved.)

Replying here in case you are too busy what with the zombie apocalypse to have seen the post about it, but the relevant book is in fact out now! On the Bias, Celia Lake, wherever fine ebooks are purveyed.
