    Welcome to Crimespace, R - can I call you R?

    Originally from Barbados? I would so love to visit there - I was saving up to travel to the islandsfor the cricket World Cup this year, then baby no. 2 decided to pop into existence and that was that.

    Don't do it "R!" Don't burn that MS. There is hope after edits. Welcome!

    "... transplanting its organs into a brand new story! Wish me luck!"

    Hmm sounds familiar. I have one book that I don't know that I'll ever be able to do anything with so I've chopped the good parts and inserted them into my other novels. :) Works for me. Good luck!
