About Me

Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy (The Aware, Gilfeather, The Tainted); The Mirage Makers trilogy (Heart of the Mirage, The Shadow of Tyr, Song of the Shiver Barrens) and, writing as Glenda Noramly, a stand-alone book Havenstar.

Sorry about the flu Glenda, do you have flu shots in Malaysia? We have them every year. Otherwise, sounds like a pretty good year. Hope the flu will clear up soon. Do you both have it or just you? Drink lots of hot toddies, may not cure you but makes you feel better.
Both of us, alas. We are getting better, but it will be slow...
