writing from the second story

The count down to the release of Wolfproof has begun. While the “street date” is Oct 1st, I’m learning that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be available on that day.

How fall is the perfect bicycling weather.

A lovely quote from the writer Barbara Brown Taylor as told by Katherine Paterson in the book Shouts and Whispers,” A story does not ask for decison; instead it asks for identification, which is how tranformation begins.”

The wonderful e-postcards available on Endicott Studio’s website. They have the best in fantasy art!
