Bianca Hey that just means your book must be well written, who cares how long it took?
Rome wasn't built in a day right? It is actually nice to hear some one who has taken longer to write, most people do the whole I wrote in a few months thing.

Alusha Thank you very much for your honest compliment!
I'm happy to have you as an acquaintance too :)
