I'm still having trouble with my B&B entry, and I've been working on it since it was announced! Now I have a better understanding of the love-hate relationship writers have with their manuscripts :). I mean, I knew *about* it, but now I *get* it. <br />I'll be praying for you, Mrs. Stengl!<br /><br />An AUDIOBOOK?! Yay! I'll be keeping an eye out for that. (I tried following the second link a few times, and it didn't work...the first one did, though. Sounds great!)<br />Nice quilt, too. Your cat looks like, "Disturb me and die." Must be comfy :).<br /><br />Okay, I have a question that has been bugging me for awhile...<br />Has Diarmid's story been told yet? (I haven't read past Dragonwitch; is it told in the books following?) I really-really-REALLY want to know!<br /><br />Thanks for all of your work! Looking forward to Poison Crown and other aforesaid projects. <br /><br />God bless,<br />-MerenwenMerenwen Inglorionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-7742152807021073542014-12-05T18:29:39.920-05:002014-12-05T18:29:39.920-05:00The second link appears to be brokenThe second link appears to be brokenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-1470746534498536002014-12-05T18:15:08.311-05:002014-12-05T18:15:08.311-05:00Nice quilt!

An audio version of Five ...Oh, Mrs. Anne Elisabeth! An audio version of Five Glass Slippers! Thank you, thank you! I'm so appreciative that Rooglewood Press is working so hard to make their books available in accessible formats. It means so very much. I listened to the first chapter of A Cinder's Tale, and you picked an outstanding narrator! And, I'm picky because I listen to so many books! I love Ms. Doughty's accent and her ability to do so many voices. Very talented. So thrilled that Five Enchanted Roses will be available in audio, too.<br /><br />You work so very hard, and I admire you so much. Still, please take some time to enjoy Christmas with your family. I shouldn't talk, because when I have a project I'm working on, it consumes me, too. I'll be praying for you.<br /><br />It's been a busy month so far. December always is for me. I speak at schools and do caroling and other singing events. Also, this year has been different because we've been dealing with some family members in the hospital. But, thankfully, things are hopefully starting to settle down<br /><br />Thanks again for these wonderful "doings" posts. I always love hearing how things are going at Drakensheath. I love the name for your new cat. Muddy is such a precious name.

I don't know what we imps would do if you didn't! ... Probably go insane with you. ;-)<br /><br />I think your quilt looks lovely! And I hope Mutti likes your Christmas tree! Are you going to do any particular theme on it, or are you going to do a traditional Christmas tree?<br /><br />As for my own doings, it is, for the most part, life as usual. A few new things, though.<br /><br />We already have our Christmas tree up. We're a little bit short on space this year, so we got a little Norfolk Island pine and set him on the dining room table. He really is quite adorable!<br /><br />And there is something that I intended to share previously, but simply hadn't gotten around to doing. A couple months ago, Mom got me a dragon-scale betta and an orange platty. Instead of taking the traditional and oh-so-very dull route by banning one if then “Bubbles" and some equally unoriginal name, I decided to shake things up a bit. So I named the betta Mherking, and the platty Nidawi the Everbubbling. I know that I named Nidawi aptly, because she's temperamental. Mherking is rather fierce (and I only say that because he likes to bite my finger when I put it near the surface of the water), but I don't know if he was aptly named. Maybe we'll find out later? (And I've also nicknamed my dog Lionheart, but it doesn't suit him as well as it used to now that Lionheart's character has changed.) :-)<br /><br />God bless!<br />~ Natasha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102067376746188002.post-70342939249643929332014-12-05T10:39:38.349-05:002014-12-05T10:39:38.349-05:00Poison Crown sounds deliciously long!

And what a pretty kitty enjoying its warmth. ;)<br /><br />That's exciting news about the audio book(s). I love that the narrator is British; often I wish I knew someone with an accent so I could just listen to them talk for hours.

It is not the merriest Christmas-- yet.<br /><br />Oh, and I had another question for the series! How much time does it take you to complete each step of the book, from drafting to rewrites, editing, designing, and publication?
