Working hard on Powdery Tattoo. I've added 5,000 words to it in the last two nights, so maybe I'll have it done in time for NaNoWriMo.

I drove over to my hometown of Yucaipa today to see the damage done by the third fire in the area this month, which burned behind Yucaipa High School where I graduated from. Magic Mountain is all charred, and where the Y used to be is just a somewhat messy triangle of dust in the middle of the black.

As far as writing goes, I've taken a step back from it for the time being. We've got a lot of stuff going on at the Terwilliger home, like...buying a new home. Plus I'm switching apartments for our last few months here (or what will hopefully

Bombshell is now available for purchase on Amazon.com. This is most likely the best buying choice for my friends in other countries as I hear that Lulu charges a lot for shipping outside the US.

Enjoy!
