Nearly There!
Exciting news! I finished writing the third Kay novel! Now it’s at the beta readers, getting marked up and ready. Soon (very soon), I plan on publishing it for everyone to read. Eeek! I just have to write the blurb for it, which I’m not looking forward to. I don’t know why, but writing the novel...
