Just helping me ol' mate Bev get a journal sorted and thought it a good opportunity to update. So, welcome Bev...glad you've joined in the fun.  Got a day off tomorrow and I'm going to update with all the news then so ...watch this space...lol

And what a great day Saturday was. 

Meeting up with a whole load of writers, reviewers and readers (not calling anyone a lurker...hope you all noticed that...lol) and it was an absolutely fantastic time. The day just flew by with sharing ideas, pictures, screencaps, chatting about all things supernatural, and drooling over the boys. 

We even had our own quiz and writing challenge which was won by Schelz, Ilka and Cal...(we were only going to give out one prize but they were all just so good, we couldn't decide between them...lol) They're going to be posted over on UnGen under the same 'Ghurkhas and Lurkers' banner above. Nip over and drop those guys a review, they sure deserve them. Each entry was scribbled on a piece of scrap paper to a very short time limit and they did incredibly well.

Gonna have to get hold of two more prizes for Cal and Schelz as we gave the beautiful SPN print to Ilka (well she had traveled all the way from Germany to meet us...and was travelling back the same day - must have been exhausted, poor love)

There were also loads of freebies and the lovely Jane had been shopping for us on e-bay and managed to pick us up some incredible bargains. All in all I'm just sad it's over...

Anyway, we all had such an incredible time, we're going to do it again in 6 months. Date is set for 29th November at the Paddington Station Hilton. If anyone would like to come join us it would be a blast.

Here I am back from Asylum, and what a blast that was. My very first convention and I have to admit I've got the bug now. 

My favorite bit out of the whole experience had to be the two coffee lounge sittings, where a small group of us get to sit and have a coffee with one of the actors and ask questions...and I saw Jim Beaver and Sterling Brown, both superb guests and incredibly nice people, and both very down to earth. In fact the only thing that looked even remotely 'stary' were the huge hulking bodyguards following Lauren and Katie around all weekend.

Great fun though...and with other guests like Sam Ferris, Chad Lindberg (who is incredibly cute by the way) AJ Buckley, Travis Wester as well as the two girls, this really was a fantastic first convention.

But over and above all that was meeting up with good friends, some who I already knew and some who I'd never met before. Hanging out with Bev always makes for one the best and funniest weekends out there, and add to that meeting Jane and Alison, both writer/reviewers from UnGen and then bumping into Tree, and all the virtual season guys...it was an absolute blast!

I will post photos as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I'm on a roll working towards our London gathering on the 24th...right now it's looking like great fun and I can't wait to meet up with those same guys again...roll on the 24th! Got some VERY cool merchandice to give away and a fantastic mystery prize that Bev and I bought for the occasion.

So, also posting first chapter of Shadow this morning, and already the adrenaline is bubbling away. It always does no matter what I post, but I guess this one is a little more so, as it's my take on the whole 'deal' plot, and my most 'worked' story to date. Well, we'll see how it goes... but no matter how the story goes down, it's gonna be a long while till the smile is wipped off my face after the weekend I've just had. :)
