Update
I've been very busy and have not been able to update this as much as I would like.
I have a whopping 2 paragraphs done on Chapter 25.
I have written and typed a short story for an anthology that is going to be sold as a fund raiser for the Rhine Research Institute, which researches parapsychology--a topic which is close to my heart. :-) I plan to revise it tonight and e-mail it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I would love to have a story in an anthology!
Still no word from Avalon Books. I wish they would call!
