It is so rare to get a new comment on this blog that it rends my heart to reject the most recent one, inquiring about the next date of publication; but rules are rules. One did specify clearly in the beginning that there would be no outing of persons choosing to remain anonymous, or pseudonymous. Speaking of Anonymous, am I hearing from the same Anonymous who was morally certain Miss Jane was a Log Cabin Republican? Pace; no one else bothers to write. Patience is a virtue.
P.S. As Miss Jane is enjoying some well-deserved and much needed downtime at the moment, I trust the public will forgive today's illustration. Fang agreed to come over from the first book and visit, but she will keep drinking from the toilet bowl and the pesky software won't provide for shutting it.

Merry Christmas Confidential to "Sandy": --
No, cher ami, I will not publish your latest comment. At this point, only you and I are probably paying attention to this blog, and you KNOW the rules. Don't you?
Miss Jane is making it up to herself for a tiresome year. She recommends you do the same.
Are you and J.A. planning on making Zimmy the fool in the third novel?
1. Fools are born, not made, cheri -- or if they are, they tend to be self-made.
2. When so many others are queuing up for their turn?
3. Miss Jane writes all her own material, and furthermore is currently enjoying a long exfoliating body scrub and sabbatical.
Confidential to "Zmanfan" (as you have chosen to be today):
Oh, darling, I thought you were learning. We do not name names on this blog if people have chosen to be incognito. Behold, I am not even naming yours, and we both know I could. Mwah!!!
But honestly, you should really stop taking it so hard. Even the Zman, I think, has gotten over it -- and really, he took a bit of a trouncing, even if it was only for the sake of narrative spunk.
Hi There Miss Jane:
Body scrub?? Sabbatical? Come to think of it, one of those terms I'm sure will pop up in the next novel that I heard was in the works about the latest Artlington scandal. I can hardly wait to get my hands on it! Do you have any idea how much longer
until it hits the bookstores??
Oh, Arlington is so full of scandals. I have to think if the one that keeps piquing my imagination involves a body scrub, or could be made to involve one.
Question: Which past member of a County advisory commission would look most astonishing in drag...?
Just a question...
Your a wacko.
The spare profundity of that utterance! It has the simplicity of ikebana, the austerity of a Finnish landscape in winter. I am humbled by such literary directness -- dare I say it, sublimity. Je m'abaisse, inclining my head three times in your direction. Wherever it night be at the moment.
Hi Miss Jane:
I gather from the most recent anonymous comment that someone is upset that the scandal may be the subject of the next book. their literary prowess seems to be comparable to the intellectual prowess of those involved.
Body scrub might be an appropriate term but do they make internal body scrub for those who are .....umm
..shall we just say "overstuffed?
your a psycho too
Yep, she's both. Her bud Antonelli is also a nut case.
Darling, I have published your post although it is magnificently deficient in antecedents. Is Miss Jane both a Wacko and a Psycho? Or are you speaking of "Sweet S" (perhaps this is a person eager for osculation, as in "kiss my...")? Or are we both Psychos, or what exactly are you getting at here? And why ever this brooding fascination with Mr. Antonelli? He is undoubtedly the sine qua non of outre character models, but what of all the others?
Still, one is touched by the romantic dating of your post. Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
Time for a fun mystery novel. Might there be a cat or two involved in the plot? I am not interested in reading more mean spirited tedium involving local celebrities.
Gor blimey sorr, if that is how you characterize Miss Jane's output so far, one is touched that you are still posting to this obscure not to say dormant blog. (One felt there was a fair amount of fun involved in notions like, oh, brawls in the local sports bar but then everyone to his own taste.)
Is it quite fair to our feline friends to co-opt them seriously in the plots of such things? Though note, the romantically inclined Smitty always seems to find a few switching tails and padding paws at the scene of his seductions.
Oh yes include a big yellow cat. Exclude your usual malicious tedium.
You know, what Miss Jane always found tedious was the repetitive overuse of the word "malicious," to say nothing of the reflexive presumption of malice.
