Stopped my progress. Last month, I successfully swept through Dreamcatcher and Dreamweaver, and dove into Dreamkeeper. I’m still only making minor edits, checking how the 4-book series flows and reminding myself of the ultimate endgame of this story since my writing group will soon start to critique book two. Unfortunately, 2025 already hit my family […]

My writing group continues to challenge me to improve and I’m so grateful. They are almost done reading book one of the Dreamcatcher […]
