Hey De! I'm *SO* sorry that's it's taken me a week to get back here....I've had some changes to my work position since the first of this year and it's really put the kibosh on my internet play time.RosDeidre wrote:Jody, this comment really moved me. It brings back all the warm fuzzies I used to feel being part of this fandom. I can honestly say that Roswell got me through a very difficult time in my life--when I was finishing GRAVITY and then writing ANTARIAN SKY, I had lost identical twins and was still carrying the third triplet (I had twins and a singleton), who is my now BEAUTIFUL daughter Riley. At the time, so many people talked about the emotion in ANTARIAN SKY--people wrote me that the story healed their hearts and that kind of thing.

hugs! D

I definitely think you are right about the emotion of that piece being in the forefront. That and I loved the idea of both Max & Michael as artists. I was really bummed when you didn't finish AN

)On a lighter note, I'm glad to hear the Riley is doing well. I'm also glad that I'm still here to enjoy the fruits of your (FINALLY PUBLISHED!
YAY!! Ok...so, I'm still doing a Happy Dance for you 
) labors. I meant it when I said...I can't wait for October and Parallel Heat! {{HUGS}} back to you,
Jody
