Yay Barb. Have finished revising main text in book (though thought of important clarification in last chapter). Now revising appendixes.

Whew-- had a first cold read come back on the new proposal and they called it Twilight meets Time Traveler's Wife in the best of ways with a lovely fairy tale quality

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wonderful-sounding review, Barb! Much proposal~ma for more reactions like that.
Congrats on finishing the main revisions, Gud! I hope the submission stage leads to great things.

Because books.
I finally wrangled the plot threads for my next book into submission. So ... now to write it. Yay?

“Not dead yet!”
Definite yay! (I can't wait to hear what the plot threads are...)
