To my dear little brother,
There are things I want to say to you, but I know I should keep quiet. You should never interfere with relationships. You should support, and stand by. And you aren’t *really* my little brother, you have real sisters, maybe it’s just not my place. God lets us make our own mistakes. How can I […]

34236 / 80000(42.8%) 1/15/14 (? Roughly…just decided to date these updates) Woot…over half way done with my goal for the month. I figure the first Chocolatier’s Book was about 80,000 words.

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday…
The above is how I spent my afternoon (not whole day, actually) just reading my old book, preparing for a new one. I started the sequel (again) to The Chocolatier’s WIfe. It took awhile, but I understand where I’m going. The bones feel stronger. I know where I can go…it’s a tale of murder, of […]
