Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, Sept. 19 through Sept. 25

Good morning!

I'm off from work today, so I'm tackling a few fiction-related projects.

First, I'm finishing the formatting for Lycanthropic Summer.

Second, I'm tackling at least one chapter in The Phoenix.

Third, I have a book I've been reading for along time that I hope to finish this weekend.

And I might check in with Ed Calkins to see how Ruthless is coming along.

Also, if you like the Cornell Dyer books (or if you're curious to check them out), we released Cornell Dyer and the Old Folks home this week.

Have a great day! :)
