I've had better days, days on which I've been truly excited ..excited beyond measure, but, penning a book is hard work. I cannot overemphasize the importance of backing up your work for I lost an entire manuscript to the naivety of trusting my Sony Vaio.

I've been fortunate for Lady Luck has been on my side. I sent out my manuscript to three literary critics and two judges for an 'off-the-record' opinion and the feedback I have received thus far has been exceptional.

I haven't been back here in a quite while, so I 'kinda' missed out on reviews of titles by other authors. My dissertation is demanding, but not as demanding and as urgent as the need to ensure 'To Kill A Fragile Rose' gets out.

To those who've had to await, my sincerest apologies again. My next update will be too announce that I've clicked on the button which says, books sent!
