Hi, Julie, and welcome to the boards! It's so great to see new people coming in (though I've been gone so long, I almost feel like I should qualify for 'new!' :o). Thanks for reading my story -- and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The writing style is one that comes very easily to me, but since it's a bit stylistic, I get a bit nervous it will wear out its welcome, so thanks for the encouragement!

Also, 'Newsworthy' is still one of the most daring things I've ever done, in my own mind, so it's always great to hear that someone liked it!

Thanks so much, and again, welcome!
