For whom I never got an email address. Sadness.

So everyone should expect contact from my publisher over the next week or so. Please don’t fret if it takes a little time, after all it is the holidays, and please do check your spam filters! It may take the books a little while to get to you as sometimes they are mailed media mail so don’t panic.

In case you want to double check.

Still slaving away at Prudence. Nothing new on the radar right now.

Quote of the Day:
“Most of the recipes given under fist and eggs are suitable for breakfast, while a variety of appetizing little dishes can be made by using white China scallop shells, and filling them with various mixtures. And inch or two deep of nicely-minced chicken, covered with tomato or brinjal [eggplant] scallop, or with a nicely-seasoned batter – the whole to be crumbled over and baked – is always liked. Hunter’s sandwiches [cold meat in bread], kromeskys [croquettes made of minced meat ir fish rolled in bacon or calf’s udder and fried], and croutons [small pieces of toasted or fried bread added to soups and used to garnish stews] of all descriptions are also suitable, but it should be remembered that any elaborate side-dish has too great an apparent connection with yesterday’s dinner to be agreeable to the fastidious. Indeed, this lingering likeness to the immediate precedeing meal is always to be striven against; and the mistress of the house where you have duck for dinner, and duck stew next morning at breakfast, may be set down as a bad manager.”
~ Steel & Gardiner, 1888
No left over pizza for breakfast, I guess.
