    Time for a mini celebration! I have officially hit 100 pages / 26,506 words in Book 2 of my romantasy trilogy! Mischief is thoroughly impressed with my word count, LOL.

    Welcome Mischief to the Bradley Family

    Mischief is officially a member of the Bradley Family! I’ve been feeding and caring for this little fur baby since April of last year.

    Recharging with Sand, Sunshine & a Favorite Author

All exciting stuff, but my engine was running on fumes. Today, I’m…
