*It is Spring Break here in the House O’Quill!  Remember, friends and neighbors, when this used to be called Easter Break?  Anyway.  The kids have been out of school this week and do not go back until National Tea Party Day (aka April 15th).  Hence, my computer usage has been sporadic!

*I finished the first draft of my new novel:  An Unexpected Woman.  This one is an effort at (some) romantic comedy in the context of an inspirational romance. I’ll be taking it up to reliable sets of eyes over Easter Weekend and hope to have it published later this spring or early in the summer.

Not the Real Cover

*I have just finished reading the first installment of Marvel Comic’s five part series entitled: Pride and Prejudice.  Yes!  This classic and most favorite novel has been serialized in comic book form.  Full color, even!  So far, I am enjoying it.  The language is proper with much of the ballooned dialogue coming straight from the novel or distilled adequately therefrom.  I am a subscriber.

*I hope to be returning to my usual writing habits after the 15th, in case anyone is wondering what happened to me.  I confess, the above referenced novel had me rather obsessed for a few weeks.  Forty days, to be perfectly precise.  Now that I will be waiting for it to be combed through by others, I can let it loose from my cortex and concentrate on other, weighty matters.

May this holiday be one of great joy for your family.  See you next week!
