So another Friday is upon us! November, and thus Anti-Nano, is over and December is here, bringing me a broken boiler (bad) and a holiday to Morocco (good). Hopefully the boiler will be fixed before we go away next week. Otherwise, barring the odd crucial piece of office work that I actually can't do without either driving myself mad or killing someone else, we're all set to go. If I survive, next Wednesday, we'll be off enjoying these gorgeous views:

And hopefully I won't be attacked by a monkey! I can't wait. I know it's not been that long since I was on holiday in Iceland, but I think I've definitely earned this one (today I've certainly already earned a holiday and I've only been at work about an hour). And of course, it'll be Kyle's birthday while we're away and this just seems like a spectacular place to celebrate.
In the meantime, I've completed the first and second round edits for my next Naomi Clark release and am hoping to hear about a release date and cover art soon (hopefully before we go away!). Work on Keys to the Kingdom is coming along slowly, but nicely. I've paused to do some research on gang crime in London through the ages, which is turning out to be fascinating in a kinda horrible way. It should really inform the hero of the story though, and hopefully help me build a solid, belieable world around my characters.

So now it's just a question of not killing anyone (metaphorically) and hanging in there until next week. The weekend promises to be a whirlwind of house work and teaching my younger brother how to look after Ket, and Monday and Tuesday will be mad, but then...but then...Escape!
