        I DO know it. Lots to do before then.
        When’s your signing again? It’s not done and over is it? Apologies for my short memory.

              Had a great time. The only problem is for the entire next day after a signing I’m completely drained. I was exhausted on Sunday and ready to hide in a dark cave. haha Thank you, Tess!

              Did you have the opportunity for downtime? How’s your writing hand. Does ice work for cramped hand?

    Something different for this week. I thought people might like a break. I certainly needed one so I could keep chugging away at my WIP. ^_^

    Yay more Grant and Teagan! Haha, my teenage son actually said one of the lines in this to be funny, then we both simultaneously declared that was a “Grant” line. He’s not a big reader but he’s enjoying hearing these so far.

    Thanks for posting my story for me already, Rachael. Could I get a correction on the title, though? It’s Mr. Dunne, not Mrs. Thanks so much, and sorry for the extra bother. 🙂

    Hi there! Here’s mine. “Ebony River’s Diary. Year 2585, Entry 1” https://elliemaloney.wordpress.com/2016/02/23/ebony-rivers-diary-entry-1-blogbattle/
    This is a series told by the character in the Lt. Mazula’s series. As I was writing, I realized that Ebony River is a very interesting character. She is different, has ‘super-powers’, but she doesn’t get to tell the story because the Mazula’s story is told from his POV. Also, I wanted to explore my ‘world’ in more detail, and I think doing it through the personal account of Ebony’s diary will give me a lot to enrich the major story. So basically although the Diary is just a side story, here you will find out a lot more about the pre-history of everything that leads Mazula and River to be captured by the aliens Unkari. I’m always so excited to hear your comments, and looking forward to all of them this time.
