C.D.’s comments from the C.D.'s Canaries group.

Yes, thank you Dorota.

Countertransference is HUGE here....

I deleted a bunch of stuff that will spoil stuff for you.

Someone brought up to me at Book Bash, that Elliot is much like Jonathan must have been when he tried to take control of Jessica. Now, the similarities may or may not end there, but I think that's definitely right. I think the wrong sub brings out the wrong Dom, and though I'm not saying Elliot is a Dom in the "capital D" sense of the word (nor am I saying he's not) I'm saying that everything is about two people. It's gotta jibe.

Like Fiona wanting to try a threesome with Evan and Gary, and how she might be awesome at threesomes, but not with those two. And as Elliot is trying to take control of his LIFE (not just his sexual activity) it's going to manifest everywhere (in his case, everything is going to be Freudian - and old Siggy would say the expression of his needs would find a home in the bedroom first.)

And no, he's not a sub. You may call that a spoiler. Fine. It's a spoiler. Just….no. Not for me.

Wait.
The last paper Frances had Fiona sign...

(view spoiler)[THE PAPER WAS NOTHING I just wanted Fiona to have to keep her shit together in front of Frances. (hide spoiler)]

(A goddess reserves the right to change her mind at any time)

I'm stepping in….

Sorry…..I'm not trying to interrupt…

THANK YOU everyone for today. For being there. For supporting me. For getting pissed off on my behalf because *I'm not allowed to get pissed off* so it was nice to have you guys do it for me. Took the pressure off.

I have the biggest of LOVE for my Canaries.

And Irene…really? Don't like Elliot AT ALL?

This interests me.

I didn't do a preorder. I just hit publish. So it's going out the same time for everybody.

I'll have Kick paperbacks but USE won't be ready.

My husband will be with me. It's our first overnight date in 10+ years. SO BACK OFF.

(LOL)

(said with love)

And if you're in the room next door…..sorry.

I was talking to a friend of mine about the series, and I said something along the lines of…

"It's got two distinct time periods, eight kids, parents, offshoots, plot twists and sex all over it. It's like the fucking Thorn Birds."

No lie.

Well, I came in here to tell you that I uploaded…..buuuuutttt….Crimeney you all are on top of it.

Guys, I want to say I'm really proud of this piece. Really really, and I hope to give each and every one of you beam-width splinters.

<3 <3

text me, I'm getting off GR before the vortex wins the battle for my attention

yeah. go on Irene

I'm getting some terrific feedback on what Deacon would call himself. I'm hearing Afrikaaner might be right, but all precincts haven't come in yet. Thanks so much to everyone who is helping me get this right

I'm pretty excited.

Here's a gift only for the Canaries, another piece of Deacon and Elliot's scene....

“I’m Afrikaner. From the south.” He said it with a thick Dutch accent. I could almost hear the k. “I grew up on a farm about two hundred clicks outside Queenstown.”

“I’ve never been.”
“To Queenstown?”

“To Africa.”

He smirked, and I felt like an ignorant American.

“How long have you been in Los Angeles?”

“A few years. Business brings me back every few months, to the DRC mostly. Not home.”

“May I ask your business?”

“I run a photography agency. Photojournalists working in risky assignments. We hire photographers, buy ransom insurance, track them down if they don’t check in, liaison with embassies, negotiate terms of release, this sort of thing.”

“Terms of release?”

“When they’re kidnapped. The authorities are as useless there as anywhere else.”

He said it with cold aplomb, as if reminding me of something I had forgotten.

“Ah,” I said. It wasn’t a question, but an opening for more. It was a hole in which the other person was supposed to pour information and it usually worked. In the case of Deacon Bruce, something else happened.

“How is she?” he asked.

“Without betraying a confidence, she’s better. She came in confused. She’s gotten her bearings and she’s managing. She’s still struggling with her memory of what happened that night.”

He just nodded.

“I can assume you remember?”

“I tripped and fell.”

“You always so clumsy?”

“I get my coordination from my mother’s side. Dutch, you know?” He smiled ruefully, and I knew I wasn’t getting anywhere with this guy. “I’m concerned about Fiona. She’s not violent. Feisty, sure. And strong. Very strong. Almost impossibly so. It’s not like her to snap. I want you to know, I want her out of here as much as she probably wants out, but I’m not going to push for it, and if you think my visit is going to cause her stress before she’s ready, you need to say so. I have no problem staying away until she’s ready.”

“I honestly don’t know when she’s going to be ready. And I’m going to be honest about something else.”

“Please.”

Done!

Wow!!!!!
I LOVE BABIES!!!!!

Big hearts and flowers.

DIANA - thanks SO MUCH for posting the ping-pong teaser with that young pic of The Fass. It's just perfect!

Uhm…it's QueensTOWN not QueensLAND for those of you that are better at geography than me.

(runs in)

Oh Goddesses and Kings - I'm so sorry I haven't come in to visit sooner. You spoil me by dropping into Facebook.

I want you to know, I'm trying to get this out *early*

I may not succeed. But honestly, if my kids stay out of my hair, and the story doesn't explode uncontrollably, I might just be able to do it!

(cross fingers for me)

Oh crap my husband works in El Segundo. He's gonna be laaaaaate.

OMG OMG....OK Listen.
My husband is going to be there.
He has red hair and he is quite nice looking.

DO NOT CALL HIM JONATHAN.

Ok?
