Yay, Deb. You might always feel it's a little weak, but I bet it won't show.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Hell, I thought Matty Groves was a little weak - I still think FFoSM is the best of the series.
But I don't think my tastes match the mainstream, anyway.
Just so long as the editor doesn't think this one sucks, I'll be happy. And then I can collect the rest of the #$%# advance.

Final manuscript page count: 375
Being beta-read by my lovely list. Any changes will be incorporated. It goes to Nic at the office so that he can print it out tonight. Then it goes to Jenn. Then it goes to my editor at St. Martins Minotaur. If it sucks, it sucks.
And tomorrow?
I get to start London Calling.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!
Over a month ahead of deadline.

More Bree and JP for ME!
"London Calling" is going to have a look - a bit scary - at the neoNazi skinhead thing in London in the late seventies. The entire book is going to be intense to write.
I'm thinking the chapter hook - LC's version of "GOOD EVENING, (INSERT CITY)! from R&RNF, and "Recording, (insert song title), JP leads it in, on three, one - two -" from WMGGW should be cell phone messages.

What a backdrop, deb. That's going to be great.

Can my WIP readers look at the last few pages of Cruel Sister, s'il vous plait? So I can finalise and send it off to Nic? Need feedback on the wrapup.
BREE! JP! Back to the Kinkaid Chronicles shortly!

It's actually going to be one of the main themes: a motive for murder.

Deb, did you send out the epilogue yet? Because I don't have it.
