Okay guys, the Prologue is officially up so if you want to go straight there, it's at: http://www.uq.net.au/~zzlowen/Prologue.htm

Enjoy

LOL I TOTALLY forgot we were getting excerpts today!!! Yeehaa!!! Off I go to read - will be back here later.... Fi

I also forgot.... isnt that strange!
Ordered the book yesterday..... they 2 or 3 weeks... and i remember the date... which would be onlt 4 weeks away.......... damn calendars
Off to read! (and munch those Barley Sugars.... its the real thing now... not just me eating them)

if I only read the first sentence that's not really cheating against my study reward program or my new handle on self-control now is it??

what iF I just download the page but don't look at it...

22nd of june hurry up already.

Well I read the prologue last night...couldn't help myself!!!
Now I don't know if I did a good thing or a bad thing.
Now I have to wait a few more weeks for the book. SO cruel!!! When I start a book and love it I want to keep reading and well.....Oh pooh! Have to wait along with everyone else.

I felt relived at the end of the prologue myself. So happy to see the kiddlewinks were still alive (but for how long eek!).

But I know as soon as Chapter One is posted and we (hopefully) hear from Pagan again I will be desperate for more. The ending of book one was mean and cruel and all too tempting!!!!

So looking forward to posting the first instalment of Chapter One on Friday. It will be broken into three sections, a bit each week (I know it will drive you crazy but I promise I won't do it next time).
However I did want to assure you that it is about Pagan. I couldn't help myself. I was desperate to find out how he was going with Sarah as well, so that was the first part I wrote of the book and it ended up being Chapter One. The prologue was a later addition for people who may not have read Destiny.

If it had not been about Pagan I probably would have fainted! I remember eagerly reading the end of the last book the first time I read it, trying hard not to skim bits I was so desparate to see what happened next - and now its only two days until I can find out! Yay!

For those who don't like too many mouse clicks, you can go straight there with this:

Not long enough!! LOL!! But very happy that we are getting some of the story ahead of the book's release! Fi

Louise, what can I say? Will be waiting with baited breath for the next installment!

Well, didn't I smile when Pagan thought that an ambulance was the name of the guardsmen. What a great beginning, Louise.
I cannot wait for the next installment, though the whole book would be better...that way I can avoid the housework and blame it all on you!!! "Well it's not my fault you have no clean socks everyone!!! Blame Louise!"
LOL!

Another great thing to add to the list of "Why I love being an author" - so people can get out of washing socks.

Matter of fact, I think I'll put that on my CV

Well, I can't stand the suspense any longer so I'm posting the rest of chapter one tomorrow. It will have been three weeks since I posted the prologue, so that's enough suspense for anyone, I think!

Hope you enjoy.

1Jumps up and down clapping her hands
The first thing I will do tomorrow morning when I get up, will be turn on my computer and start reading. I can't wait.
Not long now until there will be no clean socks!
And yes I do think that would be a brilliant thing to have on your CV, Louise.

Yay Lou!!! I can't wait!!! I finish early tomorrow night so will slip into my flannies and ugh boots and sit back and relax and enjoy the read. How exciting!!!!

Ok I got up at 6 am and didn't get on line straight away... so I lied...but it's now 7:26 am and I have read it. HEE!
I can't wait until the book comes out, Louise!
I am so please for you. You have done such a wonderful job.

deb

Well actually, HEE! I lied again!!! I read the bit that Louise posted this morning. I did not read the whole thing from scratch as I read the first bit last time. I will read the whole of chapter one again when I buy the book.

I've just heard that my advance copy is coming next week so it will be great to read it as a 'book' rather than a 'manuscript'. It's always so much more real that way. I feel like I'm reading someone else's book - looking forward to that.

Yay Lou. I have read your wonderful Chapter One. Sarah is such a doll, I love her.

And I loved the line:

'Dimples,' she said, and, 'Oh my.'

It made me giggle and love Pagan all over again. Sigh...

What happened to chapter two?

Hope to be at the chat on sunday.... against the cold and all. I have some great news to share..... guess you guys have to come to find out!

sigh... two whole weeks to go.... Can't wait, but the excerpts have really calmed the frenzy! I've got some images to play out in my head until I can read the book. It's all just so exciting!! Fi

Well, I couldn't stop at chapter one! I got my advance copy for book two today and just had to sit and read it all again. So exciting. The more I write about Ennae the more I love it. What a pity it all has to end...

My mum went and bought her own copy of 'Destiny' yesterday after reading the first chapter of 'Daughter'. And she got very angry with my Dad as he tried to use it as a place to rest his glasses, it was too precious for that.
