With the strong interest and great feedback I've been receiving, I'm encouraged to continue writing. Thank you all so much for your support. I do also really appreciate your help in pointing out the many (many) spelling and grammatical errors. Spellchecker apparently only cares if a word is a word not if it's the word you meant. (who knew) I perhaps should have paid better attention in school, but I was too busy daydreaming of stories. (see definition of irony)
