MUSE MONDAY - The Wonderful Whippets of Karen Bush
Followers of this blog might notice that my author has changed the Muse Monday format. Now I get to pin down other people's muses with my glittery horn and interview them! First author in my glittery line-up is Karen Bush...

| KAREN BUSH |
Who or what is your muse?
Karen: Two whippets, Archie and Angel. They are very
flesh-and-blood muses and can be counted upon to keep me company while writing
– which otherwise would be a very lonely job. They are keen to keep me working
hard so that I can afford to humour every whim and foible they have, whether it
is a smart new collar or special organic bedtime biscuits. So keen are they
that they have insisted that I buy a netbook so I can carry on working while
sitting on the sofa with them in the evenings as they watch the telly.

| Archie and Angel... ahhhh. |
Karen: Fate threw Archie into my arms eight years ago, and Angel
six months after.
Karen: Not yet, although it’s probably only a matter of time. They
do have their own blog at http://ataleoftwowippitts.blogspot.com
where they regularly jot down their musings on life, the world, and the lack of
roast turkey.
Karen: If I won the lottery,
Archie and Angel would blow it all on a huge, safely fenced off paddock
to run around and frolic about in, and if any money was left over they would
donate it to Scruples Whippet Rescue. Leaving me to continue toiling over a
keyboard … although the paddock on a sunny day would be quite a nice place to
sit while doing it.
Before you go, does your muse have a message for the Unicorn?
Karen: Oh yes! Whippets of the world unite … you have nothing to
lose but your leashes! Although this is probably not very helpful to the
Unicorn. Something along the lines of put your trust in your author and keep
your horn dry might be more appropriate.
"Keep my horn dry" - thank you, whippits, I'll remember that. Too much rain does tend to wash off the glitter!
