This is just a partial transcript of the very mini chat I held at Writerspace last night. It was supposed to be about The Protector. Guess who showed up? ;-)
Gennita Low: Yes, I'm here, eating icecream
CUMBER joined the room.
CUMBER: Well, where's everyone?
Gennita Low: They didn't show up, I guess.
CUMBER: Why not? I'm here. Where the babes?
Gennita Low: Cumber, it's just you and me tonight. How are you?
CUMBER: Would be better if there were babes in here.
Gennita Low: Excuse me, chop suey here or what?
CUMBER: Pardon me, ma'am. You're the Queen Babe.
Gennita Low: Much better.
Gennita Low I'm sorry it's not much of a chat, but can you tell me what's coming in terms of scenes for me? Many readers are missing your presence, Cumber.
CUMBER: Hey, I don't blame them. I'm a memorable guy, what can I say. I think you'll see me--I mean several of us--in what's coming up. You know, the next book.
Gennita Low: Really? Virtually One? No kidding? That would make the thing too damn crowded, what with the commandos and all.
CUMBER: Well, writing isn't my job, ma'am. That's yours. You figure it out.
Gennita Low: Hey, you're supposed to help me out here...not get all cumbersome.
CUMBER: Cumbersome. Ha. I like you.
Gennita Low: You better cooperate or I'm putting you in another opera scene.
CUMBER: ---, no. I mean, freaken no. Am I allowed to say freaken on this board?
Md joined the room.
Gennita Low: Obviously not. Well, they censored that first word. :D Amusing.
CUMBER: What a stupid place. They censored me? Cumber?
Md: Hi Genn. How are things going for you? I have to tell you, I am a Florida fan.
Gennita Low: Well, you think about it...Do you want to be an opera scene or be cooperative?
Gennita Low: Hi MD!
Gennita Low: Umm, sorry about the small turnout here.
Md: Having 'puter problems or net problems?
CUMBER: I'll cooperate. Will you get me a girl soon, boss?
Gennita Low: No...I think everyone is busy tonight, MD ;-). So I'm here talking to Cumber all by myself. Weird, I know, but what I can I say? A chat is a chat.
Md: I am really happy that you have found another publisher.
Gennita Low: Cumber, the way you talk so big, no girl's gonna want you.
Md: How's the old boy doin'? Don't imagine he is getting much action these days. Has he got any news to share?
Gennita Low: Md, Samhain is great. The second book has been written for so long I'm just happy to get back into it.
CUMBER: Hey, who're you calling an old boy? Me??
Md: Will Samhain also do the third book in the series?
CUMBER: And for your information, big is very popular among romance readers, I hear.
Md: Yeah, you Cumber, you old son of a gun.
Gennita Low: Md, yes, Virtually One is contracted too!
Md: It's not what you got, Cumber ole boy, it's how you use it.
CUMBER: Md, sweetheart, I'm never too old for ladies.
Md: What are you thinking of doing after V One?
CUMBER: And I use mine well.
Md: Cumber, I hate to disillusion you, but lady I ain't. Broad is probaby a better description.
Gennita Low: MD, I've several ongoing projects that I'm doing at the same time, even though my first focus is on VHers right now and then VOne.
CUMBER: Md baby, I loooooove broads. //puts on sunglasses.
Gennita Low: Right now, I've been writing an urban fantasy tentatively titled Viking Dude And His Big Sword.
Md: How about doing something paranormal. The V books are a start, but why not pull out all the stops. Cumber, I do believe you are flirting with me.
CUMBER: Viking Dude? That's a good role for me in Hollywood. I've got a big sword.
Gennita Low: Viking Dude is paranormal/urban fantasy.
Md: I'm old enough to be your mother -- maybe even grandmother.
CUMBER: Md, I'm not married and over 18.
Gennita Low sigh. Cumber, behave. He's a flirt, Md, ignore him.
Md: I am married and well beyond 18.
CUMBER: dammit, why are they always married? Md, you're a lovely married lady.
Gennita Low: charmer, isn't he. Anyway that's my work in progress.
Fortunately, a few other chatters joined in and we had a pretty good time after that, although we didn't really discuss about The Protector, like we usually do with our book chats. Next session, I promise. All your questions about Jazz and Vivi and the SEAL gang.
Just wanted to see whether you got that hint about VOne that Cumber told us....*grin*
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!
