After a month at the beck and call of our characters, it seems very odd to stop mithering them and get on with other things... Anyway, we’re hoping to have book 3 (whatever it ends up being called) out in the summer.

I also have comments back from my alpha reader on the 1950s-set novella I wrote late last year. Luckily she enjoyed it and her comments were super helpful. I’m hoping to start work on the next edit next week, but I also have a client edit to begin.
