Seducing lonely housewives in suburbia. Ooh, or a masseuse incubus. (I'm putting too much thought into this, aren't I?) On the other hand, maybe a hotel run by incubi, so that they can scope out the potential prey. Ok, I'll stop now. I like the idea of a carpenter incubus – or maybe a pool boy incubus.

Hot tea & a couple of ginger snaps. Lapful of furbabies. Rejoicement over the progress of D&G as well as the book that can't be named. Opera Babes. All is well. Calming breaths.

Or at least I am. I take Bob to the airport in about three hours. We've been together too long. We're staring at each other like, "Who are you again?" We both want to get back to work, not be polite to each other. We're not chatters. And there's not enough time to get into the book again. Without work, we are nothing. So sad. But thank you to the Lehigh Valley Romance Writers for thanking me for hauling Bob's butt to PA. He NEVER thanks me. Sigh. We’re home. Or at least I am.

Scenario #1:

It's morning, the time when thoughts come unbidden. Where is Jenny? Look at the clues: She got into a car with a guy who admits to being alien-abducted 14 times, and who has a new iPhone with who knows what 28-digit numbers programmed into it, and they "follow a star"--a star that Jenny can not see. Then one short communication from her, then . . . nothing. They're not looking for demons, no, nothing so innocent. They're on board the Mother Ship, communing with the Home World through their iPhones. Hey, waffles! Oh, dear. It’s morning, the time when thoughts come unbidden.

When I saw it, it was skulking around trying to elude the Nagging Doubt, on the back of whose head lives the Doubting Nag. Somebody bet on the Nag. I’m still thinking up monsters.
