What would I do without you - thanks for catching that double word!

And oh, how much I enjoy reading what you have to say about my stories. Yes, much of that enjoyment is based on my own ego, but a significant portion of it has to do with reading the eloquent thoughts of someone who has taken the time to parse exactly what she liked about the story. As a writer, that gives me a mirror to see where my strengths might lay - and, indirectly at least, where I can get even better.

So thank you twice over, and I'm glad you enjoyed the tale!
