In my excitement to begin my book, I have been doing lots of research, thinking, and planning. I created an icon for my book. It may be somewhat premature to have settled on a title, but it “feels right,” and Steve said it was good. I value his literary opinion, which may surprise those of you who don’t realize his literary tastes run beyond true crime. He’s probably more well-read when it comes to poetry than I am, but I don’t think he reads as many novels anymore as he used to. At any rate, he looked over my outline last night while I was sleeping and told me he really liked my ideas. He paid me the highest compliment he can pay me about my writing: it sounds like something he’d be interested in reading if he saw the story on a dust jacket.

Here’s an image I created for my book.
