Reply insent to Marlene, and now I'm editing away, omitting needless words whenever I find them.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
See?
We'll wave pompoms, you commit genteel excess-wordicide.

Woo hoo! I'm so happy for you I hate you!(in the sense that I'm quite envious and covetous and unpleasant junk like that, but I "own" that, huh?:)) Nobody tied me up and made me quit writing a bunch of times, though, and really you're inspiring, Susan.

BTW, just got this in my email. Not my thing, but fun, and it rolls around every year. Thought I'd post it.

From "Booklist" (one of the biggies I was waiting for), and they sent it up to AMAZON!
When British folk musician Ringan Laine receives a lifetime lease on a cottage in lieu of payment for renovations done on a Somerset manor house, he has no idea the place is haunted. That changes quickly when ghostly figures begin to appear. Ringan and his lover, Penny, investigate the cottage's history and determine that the ghosts are a weaver and a factory maid, young lovers murdered in 1817. Only a musical exorcism by his group, the Broomfield Hill Quartet, will let the lovers rest and allow Ringan to claim his property. In this first in a series that will explore the ghosts of characters in folk ballads, Grabien effectively mixes the ghost story with the contemporary drama. Each chapter opens with part of the ballad of the weaver and the factory maid. Nicely incorporating period details and background on folk music, this involving tale will appeal especially to ghost-story fans and to readers of Sharyn McCrumb's Songcatcher (2001) and Erin Hart's Haunted Ground [BKL My 1 03].

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
All right, Deb!
Nothing but fantabulous press so far--and how could anyone but a complete misogynist (what's the word for anti-author?) write anything negative about Weaver?

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
ALL RIGHT, GO DEB!!!!!
BTW, I'm yawning this afternoon, and it's ALL YOUR FAULT! I was up till three because I couldn't put Flower down and go to sleep.

Thanks, all. Astarte, is FFoSM scaring you? A definite difference in intensity to Weaver.
You know what? I have never had a bad review, for any of my books. How freaky is that?
