I really retreated from blogging over the past six months (or longer??) to focus on finalizing the novel I've been working on. But I miss all of you guys! You were the first one to come over from Jason's blog and comment during that contest we all entered, and your comments always meant a lot to me. <br /><br />I really hope you're well. And that you've missed the snow we woke up to this morning out here!<br /><br />Aniket's back, too.
