Guess what. I finished Anika takes the long way home up soul mountain! I can’t wait to share it with you. I say “I finished,” but that’s not the same as saying “I’m done,” of course. I’m entering the editing phase at this point, but at least the draft is Read more…
Well, guys, I did it — the reason you didn’t hear from me last Wednesday is that I was hard at work finishing Paradise. (Click here if you missed the long excerpt I posted.) The good news is, it’s done and it’s off to its beta readers. With a little Read more…
You can feel free to chastise me some more if you want, because yet another week has gone by without me making much progress on Anika takes the long way home up soul mountain. But I *did* make a lot of progress — as in, I am almost done with Read more…
