Hey Kaethel~ Have you been putting up posts for Near Wild Heaven II yet? You had me (and probably others) all excited and now it seems like things are at a stand-still...what's going on? I can't wait to read the second part!!!!!

I know that Kae will answer this herself, but in the meantime, since I'm awake and she isn't and it's a good chance to slip in a nag... Kae's been steadily working on NWH2, but it's nowhere near to the point of posting yet. So come on Kae's Muse - get cracking! Your many fans are desperate for more! I can tell you that what I've read so far is superb - but then that's no surprise really, is it? LabRat

Awwww. That's real sweet, guys. Thanks a lot for the nagging. Yes, I know I've been owing you that sequel for several years, and trust me I've been working on it!! I have something like 50 pages or so of material, and I'm regularly adding to it. Problem is, my Muse is extremely fickle and likes to butterfly from one WIP to another. At the moment my attention is focused on another story (blame that evil, newly arrived in Canada partner of mine ), but there's no reason why I couldn't work on both. So here's my afternoon all maped out for me! Off to get that Muse in gear then! Kaethel

Unfortunately - or fortunately; who knows? - our dear Kae is currently holidaying in the UK with her family, seeing the sights: you know, the Cheshire countryside, the Lake District, shopping malls... I did hear a rumour that she's taken her laptop and WIPs with her, though, so if she manages to snatch a second or two in between shopp - er, sightseeing, I'm sure she'll be working hard at it. And, Kae, by the time you finally get back and read this, perhaps you'll be ready to start posting? Hmmm??? Wendy

Shopping?!? Who, me? Me, shopping? Would I ever... naaah. You must have me mixed up with someone else. I don't do any shopping. Ever. Uh-uh. What? Che... Cheshire Oaks, you say? Never heard of it. Hey!!! Where did that picture come from?!? Kaethel (outraged that one could accuse her of spending three weeks in England to shop!) ps: did quite a lot of writing on NWH II while I was away - not ready to post yet, but hey, I hadn't written that many pages in quite some time!

So Kae...it's been awhile. Just checking to see if there's any change in the NWH II yet...yes, no, hopefully still working on it? Keep us posted! Lola

I'm here!! Still working on NWH II, among working and getting sidetracked with other creative activities. Yep, bad Kae! But I decided not to do any work today, and so the file is open and I already wrote 4 lines. Okay, that was in the space of 30 minutes, but hey, that's something. Right? Thank you for your interest, guys. Will keep writing on it. Kaethel

Just thought this should be moved to the top...so Kae I see that you are writing a new story..which is turning out fabulous, but where, oh where is NHII? On the back burner already? Just checking, Lola

LOL Lola! Not on the back burner. I just have that very, very bad habit of writing several stories at once. Wendy and I have been working on Whisper From the Dying for the past few months, and obviously my partner's butt-kicking works well, since we're now able to post the story. I guess I also need some butt-kicking for NWH II. <g> Kaethel

Kae, I say it's time you stood up for your rights. Don't let these people bully you.
If you don't want to write a sequel to NWH then don't. It's your world, and if the story doesn't want to be told, then the gentle readers will just have to accept that and move on with their lives.

Tank, do you really want me dead? Those guys aren't kidding around. Actually I really do need a kick in the rear. NWH is a story that means a lot to me (for lots of reasons I won't get into), so I really do want to write the second half. Kaethel

Like before, I'm just bringing this back up to the top, and asking my annoying question again: Kae, how's NWH II coming along? I'm not trying to be a bug, really I'm not...but NWH was one of my favorite cliff-hanger stories and when I saw the trailer for the second part I was excited!! Hope that muse is working for you and not against you.

P.S By the way Whisper from the Dying was excellent

Lola, what would I do without you? Your reminders are always very welcome, no worry. And I hope you'll be happy to know that I've been writing on NWH II - it's not ready to be posted yet, but it's a start, and my goal this year is to finally get it off my hard drive. I seem to be getting better at organising my professional life, leaving more free time for fun stuff like writing... so hey, who knows? Thanks for your interest, as well as for your kind words both on Near Wild Heaven and on Whisper From the Dying. Kaethel

Okay Kae, it's Lola back with her same question! ( Hey at least I'm not on you every day right?) I know some of us (especially me) are dying to know how you're coming along with NWH II. Although it's been almost a year, I'm still not going to give up on you Kae!!!!!! Get that muse in gear! Waiting patiently Lola

Hey Lola Yay!!!!!! She hasn't forgotten. And actually... I have an update to give you! I now have 54 pages in sequence, and I'm steadily sending stuff to my BRs to get it ready to post at some point. So I'm making a lot of progress. Kaethel

I know she's working on it, Lola I haven't any idea how close to finishing and/or posting she is, but I know that she's not forgotten it. PJ

LOL! Thanks for the nag, Lola (you wouldn't believe how important it is for me to know that readers haven't forgotten and are still waiting for it ), and Pam and Rat, thanks for giving her the update. Yep, I'm still working on it. I've had a hiatus of a few weeks lately as the Muse totally deserted me for a while. Thankfully, a brainstorming session with several friends of mine turned out to be the best incentive the Muse has known in a while, and so I've gone back to the file and started writing again. Cross your fingers I can finish it over the summer. Kaethel

Apologies for not replying sooner, Lola. I'd missed your earlier post somehow. Anyway, I'm afraid I haven't gone much more forward with NWH II as before the summer. The Muse seems to have taken an extended vacation and so far it doesn't seem she plans on showing up to help me wrap up the story. Bad Muse! :p Sorry to disappoint once again, but I'm afraid releasing the story in 2005 looks seriously compromised. Kaethel

Just finished reading NWH I, and was completely enthralled by it. Here's hoping you're still working on the sequel, Kaethel. I would love to know what happens next to your Lois & Clark.
