Sorry, no update today, instead we are making an exciting announcement. After a month of experimenting with every-other-week updates, the numbers are all in and we can finally move on to the next phase of Whispers of the Muse http://www.whispersofthemuse.org/ ! Over the next few months, the site will be undergoing a wonderful redesign and visual facelift and so will our update schedule. Our Literary segment has been growing fast and furious and because of that, we have decided to update it separate from the general site activities. Beginning next week, we will be splitting our Literary updates and our FanFic updates into alternate weeks. We are thrilled with the changes and so glad you're along for the ride. As for me, I've had a lot of prospective agent interest in my novel, Cold in California, as well as a brand new, intriguing project on the very near horizon that may see publication before anything literary I've written yet. It's an exciting and busy time for me. In Fanfiction, we have the thrilling ending to Downtime Woman (Terry) coming up as well as a sizzling close for The Devil's Boundaries (Ben Wade) and the Chronicles are ROCKING now that Cal has arrived. Between our Literary and Finfiction personalities ... we can definitely promise some great summer reading ahead! See you all next week, June 14th! Write on! Riley
