The Macaronis (me, Lee Rowan, Erastes, Charlie Cochrane, Stevie Woods, Syd McGinley) will be chatting from 3pm to 6pm EST (8pm to 11pm GMT) today at the Coffee Time Romance yahoo group. Charlie is giving away a copy of one of her books in print. I may too, if there’s any interest in it 🙂

And finally (nearly) caught up on my 300 odd emails, my unpacking, washing and putting everything away, and my two days of being poleaxed by diet induced migraine, which still hasn’t entirely gone away.
