The First Print Out

While I ran the Library Blog Challenge I had a couple of things to take care of.



One: I did the second round of revisions on my second book and sent the manuscript off to my editor with a huge sigh and an equally ...

Library Blog Challenge Wrap Up

It happened.

It really did.
