@WeavingAStory Hi! Thanks so much for your lovely words. I really appreciate them. I'm glad you're enjoying Pandora & the Music Box. And yes, Howl's Moving Castle is such a brilliant book. I always recommend it to anyone I know writing romance - proof that keeping away from the usual cliches CAN work. It's such a pageturner, and the romance was so compelling and funny, IMO. I loved reading it. I wish you loads of luck with your own writing, by the way! :)
