So, I got an email this morning from a semi-local school about doing an author talk to their kids in November, and it first it was like, Hey! Cool! Someone thinks I’m neat! But now that I’ve looked at it
Have We Gone Too Far?
Have you ever had a scene that is in such bad shape that it just makes you want to flail incoherently? Yeah, me too. But, in other news (I totally wrote “noises,” which I credit to my in-laws watching a
Tie-in Fiction Friday: Only Human (Doctor Who)
