A Mouth Of Ivy, Part 1

Title: A Mouth of Ivy

Character/Pairings: Lestrade/Gregson friendship (and grudging it is).

Rating: PG

Warnings: Hungry children at Christmas, poverty, destitution. Murders lurking in the background.

Summary: Mr. Lestrade has to go undercover to investigate a very strange sort of Christmas murders. Unfortunately for him, Gregson is helping the investigation. The information about holly-sellers is all too true. Toby Irish is my own creation.

Yippee...!

And they actually went through the brutality of getting approval from the estate to do this!

THE DELUXE TRANSITIVE VAMPIRE:  A HANDBOOK OF GRAMMAR FOR THE EAGER, THE INNOCENT, AND THE DOOMED
from Karen Elizabeth Gordon, the immortal author of SIN AND SYNTAX.

Just...just read it.  You must.

Thank Goodness, things are starting to look up.  I reformatted the books so they read a good sight better without making them the Endless Detective Fiction.

And...I went ahead and broke ground on something that EVERYONE seems to be requesting:  A story explaining why Clea is afraid of doctors (with one notable exception), and the circumstances of Nick's birth.  That boy was causing them trouble even before he came around...good thing his parents are no stranger to hardship and grief!

At any rate, it's going to be a little more complex than I planned, because of all people, Andrew Cheatham stuck his elegant nose into things and just made it all more of a bother.  I may have to do something with him, ficwise, if I want him to shut up.

At any rate, anyone wanting to buy YOU BUY BONES (regular squinty version or the Large Print), can take 10% off during the month of April (April 30th is deadline) with a coupon code on lulu.com:  Just click into the coupon box when you're paying for it:  SHOWERS and there you go.

Believe me, I'm planning on using that coupon for myself.  And how do I get a webpage built up that won't cost me the earth?

Yippee!

It is done!

Bad news:  $45.00 (ow) but LP printing is ANYTHING but cheap!

Good news:  Hardcover!  Almost 500 pages!  Easy to read!  And the download price is STILL $9.50!

IT IS FINALLY OUT!! YAY!

Enclosed in these hard-won covers:
An Ordinary Meeting
A Cookout in Cornwall
You Buy Bones
annd...the first half of Test of the Professionals!
