JFlah's Blunders

Yep - we're getting close. Just wrote the last sentence of my epilogue and now I'm on to formatting. Several people have asked when the next installment of  Curse of Royalty . now I'm so close that I can start planning the release. I'm about to break out the chocolate cake and fireworks.

Yep, this pants-er will plans videos but not when writing fiction - go figure.  Did a baptism video last year shortly after our media director moved to a new job.
