Whew! Sixteen stories (so far) posted this week - with more coming later in the day on The Herald-News site.
That does not include any of the features briefs I've posted (and we'll catch up on them next week).
With so much to read, I'll just give a quick update about my fiction, especially if you're wondering if I've had time to write any.
Yes, I'm making slow (but sure) progress on both The Phoenix (the first book in the Limbo series) and the standalone Lycanthropic Summer.
I am also (even more slowly) working on a side short story that ties into the series. But that one is one deadline so I need to get that keyboard moving.
I'm also wrapping up Phyllis' memoir (one of her granddaughters has the third proof copy and only has a couple ore slight changes; no need for another proof - hurray!).
I'm also working on the final round of edits for a client's novel and the first round for another client's short story collection (horror - right up my genre!)
And speaking of getting the keyboard moving, Rebekah noticed this week that some of the keys and part of the space bar is worn - and the keyboard was brand new in March, proof positive I do more than drink coffee and play on social media all day.
As far as social media does go, here's where to find me. After that are the story links.
Be safe, be well, be full of love, joy, and peace.
