Dearest Readers,

I just wanted to check in to wish you all a happy Spring. This is one of my favorite times of the year. It's all about re-birth and new beginnings-the shedding of all that is barren for all that is fertile and new-body, mind and spirit. Plus, I just adore flowers and they're everywhere...

Speaking of which, I will have PRIMROSE finished soon. The monthly drawing is still in affect, so feel free to send me an email with "partial" in the subject line if you're interested in winning the first three chapters of PRIMROSE. If you already entered and haven't won, then you needn't enter again as I'm carrying the entries over. Congratulations to winners: Toni, Brisa, Lysette, James, Margaret, Ria, DeeAnn, Carol, Daisy, Tirza, Louise, Tom, Nicole and Sherrie!

The PATIENCE Q and A is still posted for those of you who are interested. My thanks to everyone who wrote to me about it. I'm glad it was so well received. And my particular thanks to everyone who wrote to me about their "Matthews," real or longed for.

Finally, I'd like to offer special congratulations to Jason and Meg (a reader) who are getting married in December and are modeling their small wedding after "the little wedding in the woods"-hooded gown, pomegranate flowers, Madeira cake and all! I'm so excited for you and wish you every blessing...

Love,
Lisa
