Thank you for the kind praise, klm_luciano! I plan to continue telling my stories for as long as I'm able. This has not been an easy market to break into but I'm leaning on some helpful associates to point me in the right direction. Next year I should have a better idea of how to proceed. Meanwhile I'm going to continue with A Petal Among Thorns. No matter what happens, there should be no shortage of story content from me. :-)
