page proofing

I'm almost finished with the first pass on the page proofs for Fire Along the Sky. It reads pretty well, seems to me (she said cautiously). Things are coming together.

letter from Win

I get some lovely mail from readers, but I think Win has to be one of my favorites. Here's an email that came a couple days ago:
Hi Sara, It's Win again, It's some time now, since I last wrote, infact 13 months to be exact. I'm hoping to encourage you into more writing. I last wrote saying how I had enjoyed the 3 books I have so far. I was 73 at the time and had asked the Dear Lord to grant me a few more years to enjoy your books, Well he must have heard my call, as the past 6 months, has seen me in and out of Hospital with heart problems, but I'm still here ( must have been the vitamin tablets you advised me to take ) ( smile ) I am now 75 years old, and have just been made a great grandmother for the 16th time. How proud I am. A lot of my time now is spent reading, and I love my books dearly. How are you going with THUNDER AT TWILIGHT???????I have been into the shops a few times looking for it, but to no avail. I hope everything is going well your way, and your health is good I think I'll have to start on the first book again INTO THE WILDERNESS, that's the best thing about getting old, one can often pick up a book and read it a second time, not quite remembering everything the first time So just look what you have to look forward too. All the best with your work and take care
Regards
WIN [d].
I wrote to Win and gave her the information she wanted. I'll also enter her name in the drawing for a signed advance reader copy of Fire Along the Sky. In fact, I'll enter it twice, and I'll do the same for anybody else with sixteen great grandhchildren.
