And I have my first bookstore event shortly for this book – my second published novel. It’s strange to prep for it because I need to somehow wind myself back to what I thought, felt, hoped, intended, wished for while writing this novel. And I’ve written three more novels since I finished THE RIVALS. So I have to backtrack through three whole storylines and three whole sets of characters and lives I’ve been messing with since then to reconnect with THE RIVALS. But I will!
