Much Mo’ Betta’

So, in between Work, finishing Jeanne Dark (80% done!), and starting the Query cycle for Eddie Daley, I’m editing The Stream for updated release, probably under new names. (Not sure about the names.) Book 1 is completed and is a lot tighter. I’ve been hitting Book 2 as the mood warrants, and I think it’s…

Good Morning Is an Oxymoron – Conclusion
