Top o'the mornin' all ye scribes, dreamers, woodsprites, water sprites, fauns, Pans, also members of the Tuatha de Danaan who arrived with their flying ships on the Irish coast, and Fomorians and....

Well, hellooooo everyone!

Am weighed down paying the wages of being a writer, with a shoulder and neck that's out of whack, yet cannot help it, keep returning to my computer to continue writing. You see, as you know, ANDROMAKHE - AN EPIC NOVEL OF TROY AND WOMAN'S TRIUMPHANT VALOR, is published,  but KORINNA - DAUGHTER OF THE FIRE, I, is raising a rucus and demands to be completed.

And I sure been struggling valiantly to heed her call, alas, it's not easy! I need your prayers  to relieve the pain!

After putting up with it for a whole month (and steadfastly doing the mind-over-matter shtick) finally I capitulated two days ago and went to the doctor, had x-rays (good news, no broken bones and stuff), even a cortison shot, and figured I'll be running fast on my way to recovery.

Yeah. Right. This is a simple strain, mind you, but being a writer, and having gone bangity-bang, clackity-clack on my keyboard for ages, these thingies called ligaments, sinus, nerves, and tendons and etc., are strained to the max on a daily basis. Thus they arejust spoiling for a breakdown! And then they take their sweet old time fixing themselves.

I better return later and tell you more about KORINNA :-)
This novel's timeline is flash forward 1,000 years after ANDROMAKHE.
Yes, it is a Historical. It seems it will be categorized as Historical Romance, rather than straight Historical, and am not sure if this would be the right category for it. Interestingly, there is a lot of prejudice out there for novels marked "Romance."

Well, see you later... gotta go take my fourth industrial-strength aspirin lest I'll not be able to put in a few hours' work.

Bye for now! For sure, better days are ahead for all of us. And painless days!

Live long and prosper.
