Hey, Louise!

Nice to see you've arrived safe and sound.  You're getting with the program pretty quickly - I'd probably still be unconscious after that epic journey.  Love the backstory you've been setting up for us - and the way we've been getting little bits and pieces throughout the chapters - whets the appetite for sure.

I'm not so sure about missing a period or a comma - I was comparing by memory mostly - although it did strike me as I was reading that I must have read and re-read those orginal early chapters an embarrassing number of times! LOL! 

Enjoy your lunch. As Virginia Woolf said - "One cannot live well, love well or sleep well unless one has dined well."  (and I'd insert "write well" to that list  :)  ).

Thanks for the update - I'm thrilled that you're thrilled.
