Right now, I’m deadlined out. In the past few weeks I’ve delivered a manuscript, wrestled with revisions…and right now I’m completing art fact sheets. But after deadlines I always get an urge to read…it’s like a craving for chocolate.
I love continuities! As a reader I’ve always been addicted to these series where you get […]

Last Friday I turned in my latest book. Then I took my so s-l-o-w computer down to the computer doctor for a clean up and spent the weekend pottering about.
