Wow, my second story is receiving many more reads, comments, and kudos than the first - way more. It makes me very happy, as I do feel that Duchess is a better story than Grace in some ways.

At least, it seems to flow better, to me. And, writing it is going much smoother as well. Sure, I had a background hearing all of the bigoted crap that was in Grace, but that does not mean I enjoyed writing it!

I am having so much fun writing this one, though. I almost feel that I can't wait to see what will happen next, strange as that may sound. Or, maybe not, since so many people here are writers perhaps they would nod their heads in understanding at that.

I had originally intended this one to only go for like 5 chapters or so and be done. But it is so much fun writing it and people really seem to like it, so I am not going to rush it. When we reach the end, we reach the end! :)

I don't know if anybody will even read this, but I'd also like to thank Erin and Sephrena for this wonderful site. The good stories and great people here spurred me into actually writing, and posting stories. I didn't think my stories a good fit for a place like FM, for example. But here they seem to fit.
