I haven’t actually been dead (thank goodness), but I feel like I’ve had a marathon crawl through Hades. I apologize for the long silence. I ended up chopping a few paragraphs off the end of chapter 50 (of Dancing the Maypole) and adding a short chapter 51. I then (in a prolonged moment of madness) decided I’d try to salvage my first epilogue. After spending numerous weeks banging my head I finally gave up the other day and accepted the epilogue wasn’t right and deleted it again. Last night I handed the book over to the Goblin so now I’m done done done! I didn’t want to write a post until I could say I really was done (as opposed to just torturing you with no it’s not done after all). I feel sick with relief. I think it will take several days for it to sink in that the maypole is wrapped. There’s just waiting for the Goblin to finish formatting the book and getting it on line. I don’t think I’ll really be able to relax until I see it on my website. Cross fingers that will be sooner than later!!!

Great News!!! Can’t wait to see it online! I started following your site while overseas and have been waiting for this book ever since!

Hello Janeth, it will just be a few more days. I’m hoping some time next week! The Goblin has the whole book formatted and I’m just editing every chapter one more time.

Great news! Your books are one of the few that have ever had me laughing out loud. I check everyday especially since I’m on Spring break, hoping to catch it before classes bog me down.
