They were naive and physically disadvantaged, but too excited by their romantic adventure to be suspicious of the strangers who engaged them in conversation. I woke too soon to warn the couple to "Look out!" This germ of an idea became a novel of passion and peril set in an alternative Victorian England.(less)

Naima Haviland Sorry, friends! I just realized I haven't been un-checking the Add-to-My-Update-Feed box when I updated each of my groups on the giveaway results and the upcoming free download. I think this means you've now seen the same message several times. I did not mean to spam you! ((BLUSH))
