…that a writer who’s all but stopped blogging is on a serious deadline.” ~ Chloe Neill (with apologies to Jane Austen)<\/p>\n
* * * <\/p>\n
Merit: *stealing a chip from Mallory* Anyone seen Chloe lately?<\/p>\n
Mallory: The goddess herself? Not lately. *bumps Catcher* You seen her?<\/p>\n
Catcher: Not lately. Maybe she’s hanging out in Navarre House. <\/p>\n
Ethan: *rolling eyes* Why would anyone with good sense spend time in Navarre House when they could spend time in Cadogan House?<\/p>\n
Mallory: Well, Morgan’s pretty hot. *getting shove from Merit* What?! He is hot. <\/p>\n
Jeff: *winging up eyebrows* You know who else is hot?<\/p>\n
Catcher: *thumping Jeff’s ear* Not now, Half Pint. We’re discussing our MIA author. <\/p>\n
Jeff: Oh, Chloe isn’t here? *looking around; scanning blog posts* Yeah, it looks like she hasn’t been blogging much lately. Why is that?<\/p>\n
Mallory: Love of my life here guessed “Navarre House,” but that idea got ixnayed. <\/p>\n
Scout: *stumbling into the crowd* Oh, God, sorry, sorry. Did someone say an author was missing?<\/p>\n
Lily: *rolling eyes as she walks into group* I think they think Chloe is missing. <\/p>\n
Scout: Why would they think that?<\/p>\n
Lily: *pointing down at noticeable absence of interesting blog posts of late*<\/p>\n
Scout: Oooooh. Gotcha. *hitches thumb behind her* Yeah, we know where Chloe is. <\/p>\n
Mallory: *perking up* Navarre House?<\/p>\n
Scout: What’s Navarre House?<\/p>\n
Lily: *clamping hand over Scout’s mouth* Nevermind. She’s in front of her computer again. She’s been writing HEXBOUND?<\/p>\n
Scout: *pulling off hand* Another Scout and Lily adventure!<\/p>\n
Lily: Why’s it gotta be “Scout and Lily”? Why can’t it be “Lily and Scout”?<\/p>\n
Scout: Because I’m the heroine. <\/p>\n
Lily: You are So. Not. The heroine. <\/p>\n
Scout: Am so. <\/p>\n
Lily: Am not. <\/p>\n
Catcher: Ladies?<\/p>\n
Scout: I totally am. <\/p>\n
Lily: You totally are not. <\/p>\n
Catcher: LADIES.<\/p>\n
Lily and Scout: *glancing up at Catcher* Yes?<\/p>\n
Catcher: *pointing toward reader* Say goodbye to the nice blog-reader so you can to back and jump into HEXBOUND. Chloe’s probably ready to finish it up.<\/p>\n
Scout: Oh, true. True. *waves* Bye, everybody!<\/p>\n
Lily: *waves* Bye!<\/p>\n
Merit: *watcing them leave* They’re so cute at that age. <\/p>\n
Mallory: For realsies. So, must be a new Dark Elite novel coming. *silence* Since we’ve got time, anyone wanna go catch a movie?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
