Apparently Barbara Hambly has a new Ben January short story coming out very soon! :D Here's her summary: "HAGAR is another tale of what Rose does while Benjamin's out of town (in this case, while Benjamin is off in Washington during GOOD MAN FRIDAY). Rose has occasion to go sleuthing with Hannibal and with Ben's mother Livia."

OMG WANT.

Yeah, I think it's probably that she feels the stories need to be proper stories with a plot (and proper mystery stories, at that) but I would totally pay for a whole book of side snippets that's just the characters having domestic downtime and little ordinary-person adventures around New Orleans. :D

... Shaw babysitting would be GOLD. And such crack. But also gold. The funny thing is, I think he'd actually be fairly good at it; he had younger brothers and sisters, and grew up in a time/place where older siblings probably would be expected to help out with the little ones. Still can't imagine a sequence of events (at least a likely sequence of events) that would involve him ending up with the baby, though.
