Aunt Bee posted something very nice about you both and your cousins on Facebook, the other day.  She referred to you both and your cousins as “the loves of her life.” I think I agree with her.  It would be great to be able to count on the fellas.  But the truth is, it’s your…

Yes, it’s done.  I hope you like it.  The girls in the story don’t need some handsome prince to come rescue them.  THESE heroines are in the process of saving themselves.  Right now, they have to wait.  But this too shall pass.  And someday, they’ll look at me with the same strength and fierceness of…
