Fireworks for tomorrow night at David Drake's house

I know I said that I wasn't going to blog today, but author friend Mark Van Name posted some pics on his blog this morning that I just had to share. Tomorrow night around 8:30 the cookout & eating portion of the 4th of July party at David & Jo Drake's will have concluded and the fireworks will begin. Dave & Mark do this up right every year. We're talking $2,000 worth of brightly colored combustibles. Mark posted photos of the pretty explosives in their crates. Dang, but that's a lot of boom! I'll see if we can get some photos to post. BTW -- the horseback riding photos from the beach only partially came out -- only the photo of Derek on his horse came out. I'll post it soon.

You'll be glad to know that the plot/ideas/scene/dialog for Raine Benares books #5 and 6 are coming fast and furious, and I'm on track to have the synops written and to Kristin my agent for review/suggestions by the end of the month. The moment I send them off to Kristin, I start writing Book 5.

BTW -- I've chosen the winners of the CafePress t-shirt design contest as of yesterday. I gave my designer the slogans I wanted and told her to let her creativity run free. I'll be meeting with her next week to discuss ideas so she can get started. I'll post the winning entries (and those who suggested them) on Monday. Prizes will be given. : )

Have a great holiday weekend for those of you in the U.S., and a great weekend to everyone else!
