Hi All
Here it comes. This is the chapter I rewrote so many times, it almost made me stop the story. My muse wanted me to cluster the story up with a mess of cliff hangers, but I refused!
So as you read this chapter, I've thrown in the cliffs, but left out the hangers, sort of. The same for Chapter 17. I used to enjoy hanging surprises, but I got so much email from people who hated it, I quit. My muse still keeps firing them off at me.
I've been dealing with a serious case of gout and it has really brought my writing to a screaming halt. I'm locked at Chapter 4 for the next O'Dell book and Chapter 11 of the next Strawberry Patch book.
At least I don't have to wear a mask anymore!
