rejected! My publisher said she doesn't want any more from me which begin 'Twas a dark and stormy night. Well I guess it is a bit formulaic - maybe I'll change the opening attention-grabber to something like - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. Yeah, that should do it! Wish me luck!
