Down to the wire

 Circuit Magician (the tentative title of the sequel to Thirteenth Child) has been giving me fits for months…years, if the truth be told. Many of the problems have been external (I didn't have any control over when Mom had her stroke), but it's also just a tough book to do. The middle of a story is always tough for me, and this is the middle book of a trilogy, which means the whole book is middle.

Even so, I swear this book is cursed. Every time I start to really get going, the car breaks...
