As an aside, is Amazon smart or what? Pre-Kindle I didn’t have an Amazon account, but I opened one as soon as I …

The last read-through involved more revisions that I thought it would take, so Sunday night found me diligently working. I took a break and changed into pj’s and set my alarm so that when I quit …
The End is in Sight!

Research, Research, Research
I hope everyone had a truly wonderful Easter Sunday. I believe Easter is my favorite day. We go from the sadness of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday to the Ressurection. For He Is Risen! A little side note…I often wondered what Maundy meant, so of course, I Googled it 🙂 and learned it’s from mandatum a Latin word meaning “commandment,” Maundy …
