My short story:
The Beneficiaries of Secret Cottage.
by Jane Risdon
The Beneficiaries of Secret Cottage
The bed vibrated as if on some sort of mechanical device and her body shook and convulsed as she tried hard to hang on to the sides to prevent falling off.
She sensed that the room was still pitch black and she knew she wasn’t alone.
She couldn’t open her eyes, they felt glued shut, and anyway she was too afraid of what she might glimpse.
Faster and faster the bed vibrated beneath her making it almost impossible to keep hold of the mattress.
She prayed for it to stop but knew it would be a while longer. It always went on for an eternity it seemed and then, just as suddenly, all would be still.
And the terror would begin….

We (the royal ‘we’) are done with editing. I’ve heard back from all of my beta readers except one (still trying to find the time to read it). The reaction is unanimous that it’s fabulous, funny as Hell and a hit. Now, I also have a cover design that I really like. I have to hold off pubbing it until after the holidays — got a publisher who seems interested in it and me, plus I may be entering it in the Amazon Scout program. So, with all this time on my hands, I’m madly casting about for an idea for the next book in the series, but have been sidetracked by all this election folderol. How about you? You have even more on your plate than I do. How is it all going?

Good luck with it all. Can’t wait to see what the new book will be about. I am sure something is brewing…something crazy and very Hollywood would be fun.

Oh I think because it posted when it was not scheduled to and the scheduled post was Another Jolly – having a mare of a day with WP and mail passwords etc since the Chinese hackers had a go at my accounts. As if I have anything worth stealing there. Thanks so much anyway and thanks for telling me. How is Chump Change doing?
