But "April Fools: A Romance" is one; and for romance, I am rather proud of "Anniversary Song" too. I had such fun writing the two "Water Pump" variations just for a lark, as well as getting a bit silly with the middle part of "Valentine." And because (for whatever reason) I have such a soft spot in my heart for both Fitzwilliam and Georgiana Darcy, I'd have to admit to loving the two that complement each other, "Darcy Takes A Walk" and "Gee's Day Out" which I call the Pemberley Break stories. I truly love delving into creating a relationship between the siblings, and some family back history. Oh, heck -- they are all my kids, how can I pick?!

I truly appreciate it! As to where you might have read that I have a novel in the works, I cannot imagine (picture sheepish grin here) -- but yes, I do; and I hope you will entertain thought of a review of that, too, when it is ready for the world. Let's hope that is much sooner than the five years it has been in one stage or another of production! Thanks again -- now I'm off to share this link with everyone I know!!!
