Sorry for the super long hiatus to those of you who are my reading and critique buddies. As you may know, I'm a minister, and I've been in the process of preparing to leave my current church, where I serve as an assistant minister, to become a senior minister at another church for the first time in my career. Ministerial search in my faith tradition is a very long and intense process--think 95-hour work weeks--and it ate up every scrap of spare time for the last several months. But the long wait is finally drawing to a close, as I just accepted an offer today to become the minister of a wonderful church starting in August (provided that the full congregation votes to call me during my upcoming visit in late April!) So I will now have more time to both write and to FINALLY catch up on some reading! I see that several of you have new-to-me works that I'm super excited to check out. So, I'll see you on your pages real soon, and in the meantime, happy writing!
Also, I'm close to posting a new chapter in Garden of Night. I just need it to, yanno, end...
