Chapter 2

Only halfway into it, but it's getting too darned hot out in this room and I need to retreat to the cooler "core" of the house. (I'm in an addition in the back that gets BLAZING sun in the afternoon- and NO A/C!!) And I have to strategerize how to present more of the backstory. In conversation this time, I think. It'll go quicker and easier that way. And someone who critiqued an earlier manuscript surprised me by saying (among other things) that my dialogue was good.
