Circus: Fantasy Under the Big Top

So finally I turned in the manuscript for my reprint anthology, CIRCUS: FANTASY UNDER THE BIG TOP. Many thanks to everyone who suggested reprints — your help certainly pointed me to a number of stories I wouldn’t have seen otherwise, and the book is better for it. Now, for the good stuff, cover and table of contents:

Today I have a picture and a thousand words. I am the queen of today.

Today (also queen of word rep) was Agent F's last day of school. I got several hundred words written before I picked her up at noon. From there we got a hair cut, bought a book (she picked a horse book, and she doesn't even know about horse camp yet), bought a new swimsuit, and went to the nearby water park. Aquatic fun ensued.

After dinner and the assembly of some sort of Barbie pool thing that comes with small dogs*, I finally made it back to the WiP to finish up today's quota. We've made it past the corpse and the alarming reveal. Now I just need to get the investigation rolling and find an in for a new POV to whom a different part of the plot is happening.
