So, in a fit of enthusiasm I ordered over a thousand flower bulbs. True, 400 of those bulbs are species crocus (C. tommasinianus–they come up very early in the spring, appearing like pretty little lavender fairies…that is until the squirrels bite their heads off. I’m trying not to think of the squirrels whilst planting) but that still leaves quite a lot of other bulbs, mainly daffodils. My weekends are booked through November. Also, it’s probably a good thing that Mr. Hoyt never sees my flower bulb bill.

Chapter 9 of The Ice Princess is up. Yes, it is the last day of the month, but let us all keep in mind that technically it is still September and thus this month’s chapter is *ahem* not late. A little long in coming, I will admit, but not late.

And finally, I have a new and spectacular website contest in anticipation of the November release of To Desire a Devil–the prize is a one hundred dollar gift card to Borders Book Store and a box of Godiva chocolates.

Good luck!
