@DavidBridger Thank you so much. 😊
@anderlandbooks Thank you! I love how it evolves. To think, I paired them because I wanted conflict. At first, I got it. At first there was, at best, grudging, limited respect. Even after, they often bicker like close sisters.

I don’t share from Book-2 nearly enough. Not sure why. For instance, this is from Glistenelle’s first POV when she encounters Mister Tarn in the barn…

She slammed her gift closed and employed every insufficient trick known to resist the man. Placing the sun that dwelt within him behind a closed door did no good. Its light curled around the edges.

Good day!

I’d look for signs of spring, but there’s no need. I’m carrying them around in my head.

The variable, roller coaster weather of spring drives my sinuses crazy some days.

Trees are starting to bud, though. The woody brush is leafing. At least the wind died.

Be everwell.

favorite scene

Impossible to choose out of 3 published books, 10 unpublished, plus 2 anthologies, and often they’re spoilers.

Instead, I'll choose a random one I’m proud of.

A friendship is born in Book-2 in Meldenphire between Riparia and Gliss (Gliss POV). There’d been almost moments before this, but this is when it begins.

The female friendship I never intended, but became a series’ cornerstone, is dear to me.

@JKrotkov I totally agree. 😔
@JKrotkov I hike in western Montana. Can't say as I've seen any of those. How silly of me to have been watching for bears instead. 😆

The midpoint, too often ignored. The hinge, the point when everything changes and there’s no going back.

When it’s the middle of a series there’s a middle of the middle.

Any novel having to carry that load better pack a lot of muscle, that was my attitude about Book-4. My attitude going in was, what’s the worst that could happen across the board?

That’s exactly what I did.

Be everwell.

#Today 07

Good day!

A windy day is expected. “Breezy” is the term we’d have used when I lived in Wyoming.

Even so, there’s always the possibility that a fallen tree branch could cut off my power.

Please don’t do that when I have a blog post to draft and a chapter to edit.

Be everwell.
