Can't wait to read it. Any chance we might get a slightly longer excerpt to tide us over till publication?<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, I'm going to trawl back through your previous entries for clues! :)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02478408116122412130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-16659738506081731762007-10-12T17:57:00.000-04:002007-10-12T17:57:00.000-04:00Hi Beth --Excellent Editor didn't like the heroine...Hi Beth --<BR/><BR/>Excellent Editor didn't like the heroine name.
