I've managed to recreate what I've lost for Dylan and the Dream Pirates. I'm trying to make Talbot very self aware. I expect the next five chapters to speed by.

I am concerned that three of the test-readers for the last version of Dreams in the Dragon's House filtered off. That might be a sign that the book isn't as good as I think it is. Either way, it was a good learning experience.

I'm eager to get this one finished and use the lessons learned in my next one.

What did you lose? Am I in possession of a "lost copy" that you need?

I think I had four people willing to test read Dreams in the Dragon's House.

I wasn't looking so much for a copyedit but just a did you enjoy the story and and give me some general feedback about the plot, characters, etc. And if you got bored to just stop reading and let me know where the boredom hit.

I think you might have been one of them now that I think about it.

I'm trying to decide if I need to trunk the novel or give it another pass.

I thought reading this you might have suffered a computer crash and lost the pages. I've knocked off most of the things I had to read before this.

More of a I can't find the list of beta-readers and I freaked out.

heh! Sorry if I worried you. Just a moment of writer panic. I'm sure you understand.

My computer always has major problems whenever I'm clsoe to delivering a ms, so Ifigured the same thing had happened to you. I thought I was going to get a ransom!
