"City of Outcasts" Snippets

For the last week I've written nearly 7,500 words on City of Outcasts and am pleased with how the story is progressing.

Echoes History
Now that I have six weeks before beginning work on the 16th draft of When Life Hands You Lymes, I've moved all my writing energy over to Echoes. (Or at least I'm trying to...) Other then giving the story a quick read-through in February, I haven't done a single thing with the Echoes trilogy since writing 70,000+ … Continue reading Echoes History
