Yes, another update. I do not kid. Well, I do, but not about this. I just posted an After the Fall chapter. This story has become so important to me; I find it the easiest to write in the moment. I will be updating it again, most likely next week.

October, all ready. Really? Wow, just wow... Okay, this is mainly upsetting because my daughter will turn the big 1-0. Which means she will no longer be in single digits, thus I am very old. I hope everyone is having a pretty decent autumn and staying flu free. I updated Endless Waltz today, after losing an entire document. I am still not over this tragic loss, trust me! The positive thing is I have finished two more chapters of After the Fall. I just need to send them to Erica & Nicole without them strangling me. We will see how it goes. Keep your fingers crossed!
As for Somewhere in Between, well, I'm not promising dates anymore. It seems to come back and bite me. Nicole is working, but between work and stress, it is difficult. It will get done, I just can't say when anymore. I can say about my own stories, so please keep writing, reviewing, and basically prodding me like cattle to keep working. IT WORKS. If anybody wants to drop Wayward a line of encouragement too, that would be awesome. I think it would really help her to know that we're all still behind her and her writing. Again, thank you to everybody.

This is like some alternate dimension or parallel universe, I actually posted another chapter. Today I updated After the Fall, and hopefully by this time next week, we will have a chapter of Somewhere In Between. I'm trying to rotate the three stories as much as possible, but sometimes it might get slightly out of order. I thank all of those who have reviewed and kept in contact. I honestly believe it is because of the reply feature that I have been doing so well update wise. I think it's just getting back to two way communication; it reminds me of when I first started on here seven years ago! So thank you, every note of support is truly an encouragement.
Again thank you to both Emerald_Latias and Nicole for their beta/editing of chapters. Also thank you for those who send me any missed corrections, I’m not insulted in the least, trust me, I’m horrible about finding things in my own writing! I love all you guys!
Personal Information (Revised on November 5, 2007)
I’m a basically (semi) normal, married, and living in Northern Indiana between cornfields and well... more cornfields. My children are now thirteen and nine, which honestly, is very hard to handle – I have a teenager. I also have my ‘four legged’ babies – three cats and a still psychotic dog. Yes, I like cats now. This is one of the major changes over the last six years on here!
I still write strictly for fun. What means the most are the small things - the letters and comments I receive. I know that if I hadn’t been doing this, I would never have these honors. I thank you.
Oh yes, and I was twenty-nine when I started writing in 2001 – let’s all just pretend I’m still that age. Please? (Begs)
