Am behind in my reading and reviewing and I apologise. Yeah, I have writing deadlines, but not so much I can't read too :) I'm sick. Thought I'd done well, escaping the winter with a mild cough that hung around since before Christmas. But Sunday it turned into bronchitis. Now I'm alternating between bed and the comp periodically to check mail and so on. Lots of sleeping going on. Lots of coughing and sneezing. More coughing. Just sitting up provokes a coughing fit that can last well over an hour. It doesn't help being allergic to penicillin either. But i have erythormicin and my Ventolin inhaler. A week or so and I'll be fine :) If I promised you a review, its' coming :D PS. Pelican books have contracted the rest of the series :D All seven books Yay
