(series 3)After that, as we move into May (can you believe 1/3 of the year is over already?), I will focus on book cover design for these 2 novels and editing them. I had hoped to finish 2 books this month, but only hoped. It’s a wonderful feeling to have started one in late March, finished this book in April and then to have completed the next in the series. Definitely not what I had planned, but I am not going to complain!
