Sherri and Dianne, Thanks to you two. I can't wait either. I'm ready to go as soon as my copyediting is done. Wanted one more pair of eyes to check the final copy. Now that five months of bargaining on behalf of my union (of mental health workers) is finished--just this afternoon!!--I'm ready to devote all my extra time (when there is some) to getting my novel out. I'll let people preorder as soon as I know the exact date when it will become "live". Karen
