I’d almost view what happened a few hours ago as a sign that maybe I shouldn’t be. THE DAY Out late with friends last night, so a lazy start to the morning and an only okay cup of coffee (not…
THE DAY I’d fully intended to return to the book today, especially after working on covers yesterday and giving my brain a rest (and a chance to think about whether I really wanted to include another twist to my character’s…
