and since Steve’s let the feline out of confinement I guess I should announce that I’ve sold another story to Whortleberry Press for their 2013 Valentine anthology. Slightly Potty was one of those stories that comes from something you do. I belonged for several years to a local group that did pottery-making (and produced the following conversation when a friend rang me. “Will you be home this afternoon if I drop in?” “No, I’m going to pot in the village.” As my friend said after a pause to digest that.”Well, you know yourself best.) But making and firing clay vases – and a number of fake hen eggs to put in nests – generated a story. As do very many of the things in which I get involved.
