Hi, Nathan!

People on the Compuserve Books and Writers Community (where I hang, most of the time) often post links to your blog--I happened to click on the one to your edit/copyedit explanations, figuring that it might give me one more resource with which to answer the ten million questions I get about how one writes and publishes a book. It did [g], for which many thanks!

I'll include the link to your very lucid explanation next time I explain Just How Publishing Works to somebody.

It makes me grin to know that you & Jack Whyte are friends… :)Very cool! His Camulod Chronicles became a favorite, thanks to your Methadone List recommendation.
Good to know the Surrey info – I've always enjoyed hearing about it from the LOL crowd.

I write something in English at the moment but I don’t think that would fit into the contest.
By the way I don’t have Word at the moment because of a computer crash.

Dear Sarah–

Well, we do it every year. You’ll get older [g]–and your English is already good; eventually, it will be great!

Too bad that I’m too young for it, and that I write German. [sigh]

Diana,I think I have said this before, but thank you for recommending C.C. Humphrey’s books. I started out with the ” Jack Absolute” books. Got hooked, and now have read just about everything he’s wrote. Even though I had to send off to the U.K for one of his books “Blood Ties” I think. It was well worth spending my weak American dollars for. Your other recommendations haven’t failed me either.

Diana:

I see you're having a little bit of trouble with that link. Try this:

http://www.siwc.ca/contest/index.php

If you ever need to type in the html yourself, replace the ( and ) with < and > respectively in what I've typed below:

(a href="http://www.siwc.ca/contest/index.php")description of the link goes here(/a)

Hope that makes sense. I had to substitute the () for <> because this site won't let me type HTML syntax as plain text into the comment window.

I'm by no means a storyteller, or an aspiring one, just an avid...um...consumer of good stories. [vbg] Just trying to help out here...
