Good News

Last night, it was with some trepidation that I opened an email from my editor. The fear immediately turned to joy when I discovered that His Runaway Governess (working title) had been accepted. It has been a long haul with this book. It was originally turned in last July and has gone through several major revisions. Some books are just like that. My editor thinks it is a classic Michelle Styles now...her earlier thoughts on it were probably unprintable!
My editor has my latest ms so I will hear her thoughts on that in a few weeks. Personally I think it is a better book.

Yesterday, I also saw the physio about my arm. Slowly but steadily, the swelling is coming down. The skin is starting to look like normal skin again and there is some muscle definition. My compression sleeve has been moved down a size. The physio thinks given time and some exertion on my behalf that there is no reason why it should not eventually be about normal size.

Oh and my current project is coming on.

Hooray! One less thing on your mind as you're packing!

I have only read first drafts so it is just like reading a new book once you've revised etc. Can't wait to read!
