CONGRATULATIONS, MS. COCHRANE
Hurray for Becks, who just mailed the completed manuscript for her next novel -- A Coventry Wedding -- off to Kensington. Pop over there and give her some love.

She also has "Some Words to Struggling Writers" that you should read and take to heart. Frankly, I think she's sunnier than I would be, but that's probably because she's done, and I'm not. In another two weeks, my feelings about the business will no doubt be more upbeat.
