Hi Virginia,
Thanks for the FDK and thanks for the challenge. It was, after all, your suggestion that I give each child their own story.
It was fun to write these shorts. Frankly, it wasn't until your challenge that I started thinking about them beyond a set of names. It has added a measure of depth to the entire series. I want to thank you for that. It is entirely due to your impetus that these stories came about. I guess I'll have to name my muse Virginia.
