Nothing new to report just yet. Still working hard on chapter 2 (and still liking it, which is a rare and great feeling, I must say!) I only need about 20 more pages before the proposal is completed, so that's not too terrible. Mid-March most likely (as opposed to Middlemarch! Haha)

From UK-based erotica author, Mathilde Madden, comes this link to a great web site that I hadn't heard of yet:

Reflection's Edge: the E-zine for Thoughtful Readers & Writers: www.reflectionsedge.com

Mathilde is their new book reviewer for the site.

Okay! On that nice note...

Before I say au revoir, for die-hard fans of Neptune & Surf, I leave you with this great postcard of the first Dreamland as it stood on Surf Avenue on Coney Island in 1905 (before the great fire that destroyed it). In my book (Neptune & Surf), Rosalie's great-grandmother was forced to work here at the "Streets of Asia" show (which really existed) after the circus she'd worked for in Shanghai went bankrupt in San Francisco and sold her to white slavers!
