Writerly stuff
My Kindle has died and after googling things to do to fix it, and really, being none the wiser, Gratuitous Writer Pic: Only one went on to literary stardom….. I’ve decided, screw it, I’ll get another one. It will be my third, after the first one bit the dust after only…
Marrying Melinda excerpt
