I’m probably going to cross-post this one, because it’s chock full of news! First of all– woo woo!  I finished my Nano Project.  Not just reached the word limit, but finished the project–and that’s exciting.  The book is called Bolt Hole, and I tackled an African American protagonist in this one, and I love him… Read More
