A new quickie, and introducing Serena

Everything started with a major social blunder.

It went like this...

New neighbor: "Oh, me and my daughter, we are total Potterheads!"

My mother: "Oh, me too! We must get together, one of these nights."

New neighbor: "Sure! We'll be binge-watching the movies again this Halloween. You can join us."

My mother: "Uh-oh..."

Believe me, I never laughed so hard in my life.

My belly ached.

But afterwards we sat down together, me and my mom, and we had a smoke and started talking about what sort of story could start with such a scene.

We laughed a lot, and we started throwing ideas at each other, and in the end, my mom started writing down a scene, and I wrote another, and in the end we wrote a story together!

It was bound to happen sooner or later, right?

We always knew it would, it was just a matter of time.

So we put our two scenes together, then I wrote the rest, then she revised what I wrote and added two scenes and the punchline.

Then I took all the stuff and translated and edited it, and now it's in Amazon's hands.

I really hope they make it quick and the story is out for Halloween.

The story is called PotterHeads, and it's a silly, naughty, slightly perverse but quite fun short, featuring four women, a lot of cigarettes, a blue glass bong and a boxed set of Harry Potter DVDs.
Corruption, intoxication, and a nice serving of sex.

PotterHeads is credited to me, Tamara Vincent, and to my mother, that goes under the byline of Serena Vincent.

She chose her alias, and I think it suits her.

It felt right to me that Serena should share the credit. And we had so much fun, we might do another collaboration story, one of these days.

And I really hope Serena keeps writing, because she's wicked and twisted as much as I am, and utterly shameless.
I am very proud of her.

So, let's hope Amazon makes it fast.

After all, it's a quickie, right?
