I'm always attracted to the stories that begin "One dark and stormy night..." Intrigue and mystery draw me in and I find myself reading far into the night. This is the sort of book I'd have to take from the shelf and explore! I can't wait to see what your cover will be!
I'm sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.
UPDATE: 10/27: Marie is having a long and difficult recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
UPDATE: 12/22/19 Marie's recovery continues. Each step in her progress is to be celebrated. Your healing thoughts are welcome.

Attention all Members - Glitches on the thumbnails.
Sorry to tell you that we have had a major glitch on our link today. At first the sample picture was disappearing. I tried to fix that but succeeded in making the thumbnails disappear.
If you click on the link below the picture you will still be able to see the thumbnails and comment on them. Sorry about this. I hope to do better next week.
The link is dark green and will highlight to orange when clicked on. It will take you to the thumbnails.
