Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, May 23 through May 29

Good morning!

Today is the start of a very busy four work days, especially with the opening of Phase 3 here in Illinois.

So most of my writing will most likely consist of features writing (although I hope to take some tiny peeks at the novels in progress, too).

I did finish the "novel within a novel" with Lycanthropic Summer yesterday, although it needs quite a bit of editing.

And I played around with some ideas for a special short story project (more on this later).

However, a few pebbles in the road kept me away from The Phoenix. But more time will "arise" in a few days...

Stay safe, happy, and blessed!
