Hello everyone.  Thanks for the follows and encouragements. 
          Just letting you know that starting in December I will up the frequency in posting the chapters in Moonstones and Madness. The last chapter should arrive for any Christmas binge readers.  
          Then I plan a bit of a break while I re-group in the New Year.
          Stay warm. AL

I hope your summer is going well.  Good luck to everyone entering the Wattys this year!  I missed the deadline but have now managed to get back on track with Moonstones and Madness.  You can expect the usual Saturday a.m. updates.  Cheers. AL

Just found out  Pas De ... Don't made the ONC2024 long list. Added the 20k sticker to the cover and did a little happy dance. Glad to have challenged myself to try something different and so grateful for the support.
          Thanks again.

@alpraed Don’t worry, Anna! You challenged yourself to write your best and that’s fine! My first ONC entry in 2019 also did not make the Longlist but then I participated every year and got a little better.
            So I encourage you to enter every year, I had different placements, sometimes Round 2, several times Longlist, once Shortlist etc… The point is that you completed your manuscript ♥️

"Pas De ... Don't" has been updated, marked complete, and submitted for the third round in ONC2024. If you have been reading along before now there have been some copy edits and foreshadowing added. I'm not sure if I caught all of the British vs. U.S. spelling switches. 
          Wish me luck.
