Hello, my Dears~

I have to make this relatively quick, otherwise I'm going to be later than I usually am (which is always too late, anyway!).

Just wanted to let you know that I've officially gotten permission to tell you that I have (so far) the only female role on the new Avantasia album, The Scarecrow!!! I've already done recordings on a few songs and am heading to the studio right now to do a live version of the 1st single. The album is AMAZING and I absolutely LOVE the songs, so keep your eyes & ears ready for this one!!!

I was in the Netherlands all last week finishing up my part of HDK. Sander and I got everything done we wanted to and more. It ALSO sounds fantastic and I can't wait for you to be able to hear it!!

As if I'm not on the computer waaaayyyyy too much as it is, I've joined a couple of other networks. If you're on Facebook, feel free to stop by and add me as a friend!

Also, I'm on a cool new music site that has monthly competitions and also some pretty neat radio stations featuring unsigned artists. Come on over and have a listen - and please cast a vote for me!!
