Not only is it February already, but it’s almost halfway through the month, with Valentine’s Day tomorrow! Here in Cambridge, the weather is still very cold, but the green shoots are popping out of the ground and the nights are already beginning to draw out.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, for us and our cats, the various remodelling and redecorating projects at Chez Sugden are now complete. We love everything that’s been done by our wonderful tradesmen, but are glad to have finished with all the disruption.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For me, that’s meant I can write in peace! And I’ve been beavering away at several new projects — some Ice Cats<\/strong> and some not — which I look forward to sharing with you soon.<\/p>\n

One thing I have been working on are some new holiday-themed Ice Cats’ short stories<\/strong>, in response to your lovely feedback about the ones I wrote for Halloween and Thanksgiving, and your kind requests for more. Yes, there will be another Ice Cats’ Short Story Anthology<\/strong> released soon, featuring the most recent stories, so don’t worry if you’ve missed the ones posted. Stay tuned for more on that soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the meantime, as a special Valentine’s treat, I have put a new, FREE<\/span><\/strong>, Valentine-themed short story — A Perfect Date<\/strong><\/em><\/span> — up in the For Readers’ section<\/strong><\/a>. And, as a bonus, I have also put up A Perfect Bouquet<\/strong><\/em><\/span>. These 2 FREE<\/strong><\/span> short stories will only be available for a short time, so be sure to head over there and download them before they disappear!<\/p>\n

Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Reading!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
