Subject: Update and need for prayers

Hello Everyone,

It's been so very long since I posted here that many might be wondering, "Ann who???" Hopefully not, though. I have long been silent due to working like mad to complete my novel, FOREVER DARK, and the website for its promotion. Please check out the website, www.forever-dark.com (sorry, not good with html), and you can see what I've been up to. :)

That was the update part. Now comes the need for prayers.

I have had trouble related to my female reporductive organs of late, and after some rather nasty tests, I got some even nastier news yesterday. I have a complex cyst on my left ovary, and also have adenomyosis. That is a disease similar to endometriosis (sp?) only the tissue does not develop on the lining of the uterus, but within the muscle fibers themselves. It will not slough off during the monthly cycle, and cannot be removed like with endo, the only treatment is a hysterectomy. So-o-o all prayers for a swift recovery would be greatly appreciated as surgery to remove the affected ovary and uterus will be scheduled as soon as can be arranged.

Love and Light to all!

[> Hi Ann, I am just now reading your post. First congrats on your book. Please tell us more about it. Second, I had the same exact problem with adenomyosis 12 years ago. The doc thought I had large fibroids, but after my hysterectomy they discovered the adenomyosis. My uterus was the size of a 12 week pregnancy. I will keep you in my thoughts and send out lots of white light for a safe and complete recovery. You are going to be amazed how much better you will feel once you have healed. -- Bandruidh, sending lots of healing vibes..., 19:40:53 08/08/04 Sun

[> [> Bandruidh, Thanks for the reply, I must admit it is comforting to meet someone else who knows what adenonmyosis is. I appreciate the healing thoughts. :) The book is a dark romance, filled with vampires, Cletic goddesses, and colonial witch hunts (and steamy scenes). It starts in fourth dynasty Egypt and travels to ancient Ireland then to colonial US. The story follows the heorine as she decideds to become a vampire to be forever with her lover, only to have him killed before her eyes. She haunts Time, searching for his returned soul. I've got readers as far away as Tasmania. Anyone interested can start reading the book through email, if they promise to give me a review to send to my agent. Just email me. :) -- Ann, 08:04:32 08/09/04 Mon

[> Well, I should have read your post before I answered your email! Sending good vibes for the surgery. I'll have to check out your website for your book. I know I liked the part you had sent me way back when and can't wait to get to read more. I will post a link over on the vampire discussion board (FFF Anita Blake) too. I'm sure there will be plenty of people there that will be interested. -- Colly, 16:27:14 08/09/04 Mon

[> [> Thanks for posting the link elsewhere, Colly. I would really appreciate the help. We need to "get the word out" so to speak, so the more hits on www.forever-dark.com, the better. And, reader quotes that we can print and send with submissions. I do have one blurb on the website right now -- Kat Martin endorsed DARK. :) I will keep everyone updated as to the impending surgery. Right now all I can do is wait for my appointment, and be crampy. :( -- Ann, 18:44:31 08/09/04 Mon
