How the Writing Is Going: March 27, 2022
On Friday afternoon, word count for book three of this series was approximately 12, 200. The last scene the author read to us — cut short, alas, because he’d run out of time — was tremendously fun to hear, although … Continue reading
Peril, a Daring Rescue, and Something About a Coffee Mug
