It has been so much fun spending the weekend in Louisville! I worked on editing “Grathasmere” on my best friend’s front porch this morning. Before our little thrifting tour yesterday, we stopped at a bookstore!

THE END. The first draft is finished. I’m not crying (okay maybe a little bit). 😩🫶🏼
Now it’s time for a cover to cover read-through and continue on with revisions. I will be handing the entire manuscript over to my developmental editor very soon!
