It has been a really unusual couple of months, with far less time to hand than I had ever hoped. I seem to have had far more company than usual, far more to do, and holidays! I have found it so much harder to get on with any writing.

At the moment there is a bit of a hiatus, but I have got much of Flame Rekindled published on Torc, C of E and Open Scroll Archives. Chapter six and seven are almost ready, but I am waiting on the return of the muse to finalise them.

I am afraid I have been taken over by a desire to re-edit all the early chapters of Nerdanel's Story. While in the Lake District my head was buzzing with ideas and I had to sit on hillsides, (often wet and windy), with my notebook. I will edit the chapters on C of E as I go, but will have to re-submit them to Torc.... and I will start afresh on Open Scrolls.

So much still to do! But with no further holidays before Christmas I really hope to work through lots of things and get Flame almost finished by the end of the year.

Oh, and I am going to the battle of Hastings next Sunday afternoon! I am looking forward to that - I think!
