Yummy!

Did you know that the process of unclenching a stuck muscle sometimes means you're in more pain during the rehab than you were to begin with? I didn't know this, but I'm quickly learning that my capacity for pain is much lower than I thought and that my body knows realms of pain I hadn't thought possible.

On the oh! so bright side! I've managed to bang off the first chapter for Wolf at The Door (the working title, we'll see if it keeps) and am having quite the time learning the ins and outs of plotting a mystery.

And on the EVEN BRIGHTER side, I got this in my inbox last night: a review of Ethan's Chase from The Long and the Short of It Review Group. Jasmine, the reviewer, said:

"Ms. Storm creates a plethora of colorful characters in this novel. Even though her characters follow the usual roles that are in stories, she adds her own twist and a fresh outlook to them. For instance, one of Ethan’s friends is a computer geek and is personified as absent minded and geeky. However, she adds a sparkle to his character by pairing him with a woman who is beautiful and not at all geeky. The story moves quickly, however, it is an emotional roller coaster. One minute things are looking up, the next both the main characters are unsure about the other. But I believe that this roller-coaster created a very good story. The author also added an element of suspense to this story by introducing a stalker that does not seem to do anything wrong and hence cannot be caught. This made the pages turn even faster! I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and am looking forward to more books by this author."

Getting five books out of five certainly helped the headache's pain seem far less intense! Sadly, however, the rating will not cooperate by writing my next book so I'm off to pound out another chapter (or plot the, er, plot)...after I do some birthday shopping for my husband...I'm usually far better organized...the big day is Tuesday and I don't even have a clue what to get him...
