If you've reviewed one of my stories, and I haven't written back, please don't take offence. I'm grateful for every single person who takes the time to say they liked (or maybe didn't like... whatever!) one of my stories, however I'm horrible at replying to people - even in real life, I swear, I'm the worst - and I haven't logged onto this site on a regular basis in ages. Just know that I'm astounded that I can actually write something that other people find as interesting as I do, and that every kind word someone has written about my stories makes me smile. Thank you.

July 1st 2017: Is anyone still out there? ;)

I'm alive and well, no need to worry, however the last few years Real Life has gotten fairly complicated, and the spare time I have to write has diminished dramatically. There were a couple of health scares in my family that stole my focus for a little while, another big move, and finally a career change that I am absolutely in love with, but am now working ridiculous hours that leave me wondering what the words free time mean.

I'm slowly chipping away at my sequel to Tides of Time, but as usual I don't like starting to post until I've finished or have nearly finished writing; there is nothing more frustrating to me than finding a story you're enjoying only to discover that the author stopped halfway through and hasn't updated in about 3 years (which would likely be the case if I started to post now...)!

I'll reiterate what I wrote above by saying thank you to those that have kept reading and reviewing. This is really the first time I've logged in in about two years, and was pretty shocked to find that anyone was still interested in anything I'd written since I'd basically disappeared off the face of the internet. I'm so rarely on this site anymore that replying to anyone will likely not happen, but again, thanks for reading, and I really hope to be back one day soon.
