I'm very excited about this final. The Christmas Bargain is my perfect contest book. There's nothing particularly controversial about it. The hero is charming. My heroine has a little more depth these days. It's a classic plot line. I have a great villaness. I really think Francine sells the opening. She's the girl you love to hate.
I hope the final editor likes it as well.
Meanwhile I got back my comments from Bound By Duty from Four Season. I'm glad I put it aside. I'm absolutely stuck for what to do with it. I feel as if any fixes will require me to jump through a dozen hoops and it will become so convoluted that the story will be ruined. So, for now, requested or not, it's on permanent hold.
