September is Right Around The Corner!
I've been in cell phone hell!!! Which is what I should have titled this book! Because that's what it's been to write. Cell phones have done more to destroy good plots than any other single thing I can think of. Just when I've devised ways and means for my characters to remain in touch, but [...]
