Editorial consensus is 'Melissa' is the appropriate title. First chapter is in the queue... enjoy!

My latest is in the hands of editor/proofreaders. I probably won't appear under the title 'Melissa', though.

I've just got chapter 7 back from Jerry and Chapter 8 is begun. It's taken a different turn and my protagonist is going to face a choice at some point. My apologies if you're waiting on tenterhooks for posting, but it's not going to happen for quite a while yet.

I know - it's been quite a while. My current effort, 'Melissa', is into chapter five and proceeding very slowly. Having read Oyster's blog recently, I've formed the idea that sometimes Muses go off on holiday, or perhaps to a convention of muses? I think mine must have taken off on a round-the-world voyage. It's not that I don't have ideas; I have several draft first chapters including a sequel to 'Zoe' and another 'Dryad' episode. I just don't seem to have much motivation to write. Sorry. I would say, by the way, that the best motivation to write is feedback... so if you're waiting for a favourite author to post - write to him (or her).

Sorry it's been so long coming, but I'm intending to post the first chapter tomorrow, Tuesday. It deals with Denise and Joe's honeymoon cruise, skipped over in 'Grumpy Old Man'. The first chapter is actually reintroducing Nadiya and CC from 'Pippa' who take an important part in the tale.
Enjoy.
