Thanks Mom! I'm hoping you'll have it in a couple weeks (no pressure to my readers..).

Congratulations Melanie, this is good.

Of course you are excited to query. It is the next step to completion.

Keep going girl, I will have your collection of books in my library.
They will be the few pleasure books in my all of my tech manuals. I am looking forward to having a whole bookshelf dedicated to your books.

Thanks Pink!

Aww, Penguin, that's so sweet. And I almost slipped and used your real name. Woops.

I'm also excited to go back to my other wip that takes place in SL.
