Some nice writerly news for me!
My flash fiction story “It started with a kiss” is now published in an anthology called Time for Love, available only as an ebook, price £1.54!
Now we all know true love is priceless, but this is a bargain (details here)! LOL!
The book is a compilation of 18 long listed stories - out of 70 entrants - from a Valentine’s Day flash fiction competition! It was a real boost to my ego to receive a nice email from the editor (waves to Gail) informing me I’d made the cut! Yay!
Charlie says: There’s a moose loose in the hoose.
(Yes those are scratch marks on his face! He came home with them but he’s fine! The mouse is innocent!)HAPPY EASTER!! See you all some time, Error 503 allowing!

Wow, congratulations on getting published :)
CONCATULATIONS!!!! What wonderful news! You must just be beside yourself!! We are sooooooo happy for you!!!!!! You deserve all of the success in the world!
Poor Charlie!! Did a female kitty scratch him for getting fresh????
xoxoxoxoxo
wow! congratulations! And tell Cahrlie to be careful around those mice; they're obviously troublemakers!
Congratulations. I'm so happy to read about the successes of my dear bloggy friends. I always feel so proud that I know you when you dip into the honor bucket. :)
Kitty, congratulations!!! That is awesome.
And who beat up poor Charlie? That's not right.
Kitty, That is fabulous news! Congratulations!
Congratulations! :) That's wonderful!
I've been seeing a lot of that Error 503. What is that all about?
Charlie is as cute as ever. I just had my cats neutered and vaccinated so I can let them outside some. Not sure where they have ventured off to but I assume they'll come home when they're hungry!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is awesome news! Poor Charlie but he sure looks content. :-) Off to Amazon to check out your book! Yay!
Congratulations! That is so exciting!!!
Poor Charlie--I hope he heals quickly.
Charlie was prolly brawling, making his way through the crowd of fans surrounding your house!
Congratulations!
Congrats! The last time I had something published I was 9 years old, and it was an anthology my grade school teacher put together for our class. I remember how excited I was...so to have something that will be read by people who don't even know you is awesome!
What's up with those Error 503? Thought I was the only one!
Concats! What do you mean "came home" wif scratches? Has you been out runnin amuck at night? Naughty kitteh. Glad you are ok.
Congratulations! Such exciting news. And of course in the next few days I'll be buying the anthology and reading your story. I hope this was more than a boost to you ego, because it's also validation that you're a real and good writer.
Congratulations sweetie!!! Yay! It's available here in the states, too:
http://www.amazon.com/Time-For-Love-ebook/dp/B007PS8JUS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1333344052&sr=8-3
Kindle owners can even borrow it for free if they have a Prime membership! Off to check it out on my iPhone (easier to read in bed with the phone than with the Kindle).
Charlie, be careful, honey. Your face is just too handsome to risk getting it scarred up!
Well done you! To come in the top 18 out of 70 is excellent.
Those error messages are a real pain at the moment aren't they.
Have a lovely week. x
Yay, congratulations :-)
Aw, poor Charlie - are you sure it wasn't that mouse ;-) x
Oh, congratulations! This is fantastic news, we're thrilled for you. Well done!
As for Charlie...Stay out of trouble! :-)
happy easter Charlie!!!
Congratulations! That's so great to be published.
Congrats! That's such awesome news.
Scratcch marks what ever have you been up to Charlie. be careful. Cute picture. Mum went along and bought the book forr her Kindle so will read your story.. Well done for getting published.. Hugs GJ xx
Congratulations on your story getting published! Yay!!!
Hi Old Kitty - HUGE congrats on your story being published in the anthology (is it the one called First Kiss on the contents list?) Well done and here's to hundreds of downloads! Great pic, BTW, of Charlie, wearing a mouse like a beret - loved it :-)
Take care and hope you have an error503-free week!!
Is Mr Blogger being difficult again Jenn? - he seems to get all "hard to get" sometimes. Thank goodness he isn't involved in publishing your story!
Congrats on getting into print.
Charlie we think you are very brave and strong so know your opponent will have come out with bigger battle wounds than you.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Big congrats on having your story published, we are so proud of you! Ouchy Charlie, be careful pal!
Happy Easter! I'm sorry you've been plagued by the error message. I've been sort of frustrated with blogger lately where my own blog is concerned, but I'm not very techno savy and I'm not really sure what to do about it.
Love your cute kitty. You're a fabulous writer and I always enjoy reading your blog.
Congratulations! That is fantastic news! :) :)
Poor scratched-up Charlie! Love his mouse though.
Can we get the book on amazon.com for kindle?
And of course I'll check out the anthology. :)
Wow! That's so exciting!! Congrats!
Congratulations on having your story published. What a thrill you must feel. Hope your kitty's scratches heal quickly.
Awesome news, conCATUlations!

Happy Easter!

I seems Charlie isn't above mixing it up a bit. Wonder what the other critter looks like? Go, Charlie!
Oh, I'm so happy for you, Old Kitty. Congratulations! You're building up quite a writing resume! Very impressive!
That picture could not be any cuter. As my daughter says, AWWW!
Here's a little kiss to make your ouchie feel all betters. *kiss*
Wow that is sooooo exciting. We will have to buy one for sure. We will check it out right now. We are so proud of you. See we knew you could do it.Take care.
Congratulations, Kitty!
Sweetheart...who did you fight with? You were the winner I have NO doubt whatsoever.

Girlfriend, you are just rockin' the publishing world! Congrats to you...
Congratulations on having a story published in this anthology, Jenn!! What wonderful news, and how wonderful it is all ♥ love stories to warm the heart! ♥
I hope Charlie didn't meet another jealous cat who thought he might be a rival for a spring time love session. Luckily he doesn't look worse fro the scratches on his face.
Oh, congratulations!!! Well done to you. Charlie is being awfully patient. I've been mauled for much less than placing a stuffed animal on Cali's head.
Kitty that's great news, well done. It's great to have that kind of news isn't it? Charlie looks quite happy with mouseie on his head.
Whoo hoo, congrats on your story being published!! :D

Hi Kitty, well done on getting your story published. Charlie looks cute with mousie on his head. I hope I haven't posted twice? Blogger is playing up I think!!

Congratulations!
Congratulations!! My favourite kind of news. Glad it was only scratches for Charlie - my friend's cat came home with a broken jaw and cut tongue (mending nicely now, fortunately).
Yay, OC! Congratulations. I'll go check it out. How will I know which one is yours? Is it published under Old Kitty? LOL! And Charlie is a pretty funny guy with that moose. I'm glad he's okay!
Okay, duh, I see the title of your story. Don't mind me. It's been a long day!
Congratulations, Jennifer! That is wonderful! Charlie should be very proud of his mum.
Congratulations!!! That is so wonderful. We're very happy for you and know what a big accomplishment this is.

Maybe Charlie got scratched for bragging to the other kitties a bit too much about you. Poor Charlie.
LOVELY!!! Congrats!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your story! That's awesome news. Glad Charlie is healing with a nice little friend to keep him company;).
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing the link so we can check it out. Yay!!!!
Oh, that is so wonderful. Jen and I are both ecstatic about this. Yes, anything like this is such an ego booster. Yay, yay. I'm checking it out right now. I hope we can buy it here in the states. And a very very happy Easter to from our hoose to yoos (waves to Charlie and the moose). (My favorite holiday -- Resurrection morning!) And I'm SO glad you're enjoying my Golden Movies post. It sounds like you are on the same wavelength with movies as Jen and I are!!!

Thank you so much for you kindness and comforting words for our dear Scooby. It looks like you have known the loss of a good and special kitty in your life too. We are happy to meet you, and we appreciate your lovely words of sympathy.
Charlie is one patient cat when it comes to mice. My old cat would have mauled it to pieces . . . as long as it was dead to begin with. No point exerted herself if it wasn't already incapacitated. :)
Hey..good for you getting published! That is just wonderful!
Awesome, Jennifer! That's fab news! Big congrats! And Happy Easter to you and Charlie!!
Kitty, you definitely want to stop by Thursday...
Congrats, that's quite an achievement!
Wagging Tales
