My books title at least at this point is periwinkle. it is the story of a sprite (fairy) who gets trapped in a jen bottle for four hundred years and escapes entrapment in the1960's.. I want to do a whole series of books dealing with the the historical and cultural events of the 1960-1970 and my character periwinkle.

"Valorous Daughter" (novella) is in the hands of the very model of modern capable copy-editor. I've got another short story finished... purposefully ignoring it for a week or so while I revise some other shorts before sening them back to the slush pits. And the ongoing edits of "A Kiss For Damocles," which will hopefully be ready to go to aforementioned copy-editor once he wraps up his work on Valorous Daughter. Been a productive couple of months.
The big news is that I took everything I've learned over the past year... reader feedback, betas, personal rejections, and a couple story critiques from P.N. Elrod and looked at the novella I self-published a year ago. Learned a lot since then, so I revised that sucker, fleshing some things out more, trimming redundant expositional overexplaining that was excessive. Also added a historical timeline and rather exhaustive glossary of terms. Just goes to show that when you think a piece is "perfect," putting some time and words between you and that piece will invariably point out some room for improvement.
