Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

Is it my imagination or is it rather quiet round here today?

I'm on a course for the next three days so will only be able to check updates in the evenings. How on earth am I going to cope? I should have weaned myself off gently and not attempted to go cold turkey!

Was Chapter 38 the most recent one?

Yes.

yes, Natali is leading the way, foraging into my original stories.  A lot more plot, a lot less getting fancy, but nonetheless no story of mine is completely devoid of sex!  Depending upon which one you choose, of course.  "Princes of the East" is a retelling of the saga of the life and loves of Saheris El Maduc, a fictionalized version of Attila the Hun, who managed to marry 54 women in his lengthy life, and conquer most of Eastern Europe in the process.

You wrote historical fiction, yippee!

I'm crazy into hystory and historical  genre books myself ( still womdering what  spell makes me read about cowboys an bullriders ), and more, I'm from conquered ( not any more) region.

Loise, where can I find your works?

[louisev]

My completed novels can be found on

www.zebratta.com

Look under Fiction for those books.

For those of you who may possibly be wild about poetry, you may also find 7 of my 19 completed collections of lyric poetry.

Look under Poetry for those books.

And for those who for some odd reason are wondering what I didn't put on my website:

The unfinished sequel to "Princes of the East" (40,000 words worth, which is what I want to finish this winter), is available for anyone who finishes Book 1.

And a new novel I wrote right before I watched "Brokeback Mountain" which is also a work of historical fiction (sorta), entitled "Your Skinny Girl", where a man finds his future buried in the past.  And that is not yet on my website due to lags by my webgirl, who has a LOT to catch up on once she creates the indexes for the Laramie Saga.

for those of you who are getting nervous...

I worked late today and am just finishing dinner, but I am in chat and also have begun writing chapter 39.

Never fear... there is more "Red Stallion" on the way.

I have no fear.  I have faith!

Thanks for the update Louise. Sorry you've had a crappy day. Hope it's improved now that you're home. And yes, even though we all champ at the bit waiting for your updates, every one is appreciated, and never taken for granted.

Yay for Reynolds! His attention to detail and by the book methods have paid off. I was very relieved that the morning started off well between Ennis and Ellery. Was worried that there might be some hangover from the incident with Bunny. I adore the little things that Ennis does for Ellery, understated demonstrations of love.
