I wanted to hold off posting Damn It All! Until Thornfoote's Linda's Posse was complete. But he wanted it posted now. He has kindly opened his universe, so how can I deny him?

Now, that's not quite the whole thing. We've been discussing Linda since before he started writing about her, and it was clear to me that he had the spark and the talent to write her story. Turns out, he has a real fire in his belly. You've seen that if you've read Retribution and are reading Linda's Posse.

So here's the thing. I read the initial draft of the first chapter of the next story in Linda's World Universe, and it became clear that there were some opportunities to play off of Damn It All! Thornfoote might choose to do that, or he might not, but if he wants to, Damn It needs to be out there. So it is in the queue and should post tomorrow - all of it.

Please tell me what you think.

I hope you folks are enjoying Thornfoote's stories in the Linda's World Universe. We edit/proof for each other, so I get early peeks. A side effect is that ideas sometimes ferment. One, or a series of ideas, resulted in Damn It All! and Thornfoote opened up his universe for me to occasionally play.

It's raining - Linda and Jessie are sitting in Linda's suite. It's girls' night, and while Linda is sipping juice, she's plying her friend with Booker's - a smooth, high proof, bourbon.

Damn It All! is with my editors and proofreaders and should post soon.

Now, maybe I can get back to Monica Mechanic.

If you haven't stuck your toe in Paige Hawthorne's Winter Jennings Series, I recommend that you do so. Her newest story, Winter's Woes, is about to post. Winter is smart, sexy, and funny.

I've liked her stories from the first, and for Woes, I've joined Paige's editing/proofer team - a most enjoyable task. Try her and let Paige and me know what you think. http://storiesonline.net/a/Paige_Hawthorne

Woody is now in the queue to the moderators.

I was wrong. My next story is in the Swarm Cycle.

Woody is being worked over by editors and proofreaders and should be in the queue shortly. This one is a shortie and the entire story will load in one chunk.
