Our second group anthology-Submissions to Ignite by end of September, please.
It's late, it's time to go to sleep. Here's my first line:Gerry lay in bed trying not to fall asleep. Whatever happened it was imperative she stayed awake or The Plan would fail.
Throwing the reader into the centre of the action is not my forte.

What order did we decide for the contributions? I ask this in the context of making the Kindle sample text the best it can be (it will display several of the contributions I believe, about 7700 words?). What other front matter will be included?
Not sure what you mean Darren? The other Darren has it now and is sorting that out. Were you thinking of putting a sample on a blog or something? In that case it's best to wait till it's out.
Oh I think he means downloading a sample, Ignite. Or the look inside feature.
Hello Patti!You are quiet these days.....
Sarcasm is ugly Simon.How are you?
Ah right. Sample should be ok. First few stories aren't over-long and there's just enough blurb. Don't you think? You've seen it.
I wasn't being sarcastic - women!
Well then you're not very attentive to my many posts.MEN!
Children!:)
Lifeboats?
What about the other assorted oddballs in this group?
They're all mouldering in the zombie thread.
Zombie thread? Wheres that?
Phil would say in his author thread. ;)
SSSShhhhhhhEverytime anyone says the Z word, Splinks arrives...
Do we have a release date yet? Sorry been MIA things are pretty hectic at Chez Comley! :-)
The project plan apparently forgot to mention a launch date Mel. This year....or maybe next year.
:)
I think we're aiming for end of October ish Mel.It's with Darren being formatted now.
okay! Really excited about the release! :-)))

He's been Splinker?
There'll be some pumpkin in the Salmagundi then!
If anyone likes zombies, may I recommend the following blog, authored by my fabulous husband: http://watchingthedead.blogspot.co.uk/ Enjoy!
Oh cool Jenny!He should get his blog into the group blog ring.
You can tell it's a boy's blog - the background's black!Will read it all later.

Didn't you know - Black is the new ... erm...
Reading white on black boggles my eyes. :(
How dare you you! My boy's blog is a lovely soothing white and blue ;-)
how about read script on black background? Beloved of horror writers everywhere...
I'm sure he'll be very flattered to be called a lad, anyway, as he's nearly 40!

Cannot see me ever bothering with the film so probably won't. The white on black doesn't help.
Anyway I'm working on my new blog. Click on the link, enter your credit card details and a few details and a couple of hours later an appropriate person will arrive round to read it to you in person.
Can I have an inappropriate person please?
All persons can be supplied washed and lightly oiled

Btw, my first lines...The boy's skin was sour and taut and his movements graceful.
He was arrogant, of that there could be no doubt.

Bummer. I missed out on this. I joined the site too late :( Maybe next year!
Yes, we keep her chained in the dungeon.Occasionally we through a chicken at her.
Is the release date near, dear?
Good job she has given up being a vegetarian, then! Or maybe that is why?
I'm told by my Upload Guru (who is really the one to answer this) that it's as close as in iminent thing.
