Penny writes cozy mysteries whose setting in a small Quebec town is a major factor. Staveley's book is the second in an epic fantasy trilogy. Both writers engage you with the

Loose Leaves acquired the Beran/Myla book. Did I ever show you that? He's the king's son and she's the daughter of a would-be-rebel and they wind up fostering at the same house. There are underground tomb mazes. Does that ring a bell?

I'm currently writing crap that may have to be shut up in a cupboard to die. By the time I finish, I should have edits back from Loose Leaves so I'll be working mostly on that.

I'm happy. I enjoy writing, and if readers then enjoy it, so much the better. I don't need to be a best seller to achieve that.

Sorry - my wifi was down (or patchy when it was up) because of all the wind and rain during the week.

That's brilliant news about Beran & Myla!! My favourite! Congratulations. Keep us updated with news. 2016 is just around the corner, you know :-)

I was startled by the 2016. I was sure it would be 2017. I'm supposed to editor's comments starting next month. I asked them to be really mean on the developmental edits because I like this book and want it to be the best it can, so I should be busy.
