My editor is currently "out on maternity leave" - she's still reading, she says, but its when she gets to it, but I promise I'm not dead nor have I stopped writing. I have two books currently at the editor, and Mr. Carter has even thought about being my back up editor, should the need arise.
Writing is something I'll never stop, so just put me in your "check-list" and I guarantee I'll get another up eventually!
KISSES!
