Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, Nov. 21 through Nov. 27

I'm a little surprised this morning that I have fifteen stories and videos to share this morning since Wednesday my last work day before the holiday.

I'm spending the time working on a hard edit of Ed Calkins' Ruthless, since his goal is to release his first novel (and the first BryonySeries novel not penned by me) on Calkins Day (Feb. 13).

And that's it. Except for drinking coffee, walking, and checking in with my family, I'm hanging out with Ed's words until it's time to get some work done on Sunday.

It's a long novel, about 140,000 words, and I'm not halfway done yet, so wish me luck!
