Greetings Partygoers!

Friday 3 September 2010

If you've dropped by from Karen's Labor Day BBQ Party or from Donna's Fantastical Fantasy Blog Party, hi! If you haven't, hi anyway! Do go on over and mingle on those fine blogs.

It's been quite an exciting week here at Spellmaking Towers, with three of my stories being published in the space of two days - one at Spilling Ink Review, one at Electric Spec and one at Every Day Fiction. So I'm definitely in the mood for partying. Mind you, the EDF one was fairly scary with its stream of reader comments. I don't know, who'd be a writer?

Anyway, while you're here, do have something to drink ...

  5. I'll raise a glass to your successes this week! (It'll have to be a virtual glass as I need to get the car out later.) Can we have chocolate fudge cake too?

    Oh, and I followed the links to the other parties, so thank you!

  52. Hi All,

    Just wanted to thank everyone who swung by during one of the recent parties, left a comment or followed. I'm tremendously grateful to all of you. I've been through everyone who left a comment now and, rather than replying to each of you, went off to visit your blog to comment and/or follow.

    Apologies if I've missed anyone out : I admit to being overwhelmed by the number of responses I've had!

    See you later in the blogosphere ...
