Good Thing #1 -
First Chapter Friday Playlist (160 + titles and counting!) youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpVe6VlpCwJZCLWm7CR4yX93l3xN2conB

Good Thing #2 - 2 NEW Interviews
Another reason why I’m behind on my FCFs is that I have two AMAZING interviews lined up, but struggled to get all the calendar ducks in a row to get them out on time. So, in the very near future, you can expect to see and hear from Dana Vanderlugt and Kelly J. Bapsite about their brilliant and beautiful novels in verse. Videos and links coming soon!
