Middle Of The Week Thoughts 10/19/16
I only have two thoughts bouncing around my head, at the moment. My first thought is on my need to start exercising. I've gained a couple inches around my waist. Eek! But that's not the information my readers care to learn in this blog. The other part of my thoughts is about my novel I'm …

How I Began My Author Life
