Chaos and Reunion - Last Episode of Book 5 Posted! Tomorrow, Book 6 in entirety!
In appreciation of all of you dear readers who have hung around for oh, about 6 months now, the last chapter of Chaos and Reunion will be posted in one piece tomorrow evening.
I'd really like to know what you think about this book, so here's the deal: I'll send you a free PDF of Chaos and Reunion (including the Appendix) if you send me a cogent review, your email address, and permission to quote you on the jacket when the book is published. (I'm waiting on pins and needles!)
And thank you, thank, you, thank you. Your interest has been very encouraging. ~ Roberta"
