I confess it's such a new thing for me that it's still making my stomach twist.<BR/><BR/>I'm briefly working on a book that's been waiting to be finished for months and it literally is hanging by a thread. It's a sanity thing. I SHOULD be working on the next mystery under contract, but I must do this, or it won't let me concentrate. I know this sounds loony, but... that's life.Sarah A.

The heroes win both, otherwise they'd be dead.<BR/><BR/>But in the middle bad stuff happens.
