Wow! This has been a surprising and very happy month! First of all, “Wishes”, an older story that has been reworked, was accepted by Etopia. I had actually given up on the story itself, but I read it after two years and thought it might have some potential. I just assumed that Etopia would tell me what had to be changed, but no, they accepted it! Shows you that I am the worst judge of my own work. : ) If I did not have others to give me opinions, none of my stories would ever be published! I am just so picky…  The second surprise was that I finished “The Chosen” in a week. The words just came to me and I was writing 4000 words a day, sometimes even more than that. Believe me, that is amazing! So it is finished and I have sent it off. Chewing my nails now, wondering if it is good enough. We will just have to see! I still have no concrete date for the Aelida books. They just said “spring”, so your guess is as good as mine. As soon as I know more, I will post it. Thank you for all the support you give and the e-mails that keep me working, even when I have no faith in my work. Sometimes I succeed in spite of myself! Typical writer… : )

Take Care
