Sorry for being so quiet this week, but I have been working. Hard. So hard that I nearly met my self-imposed July 1 deadline for polishing and mailing my Work-In-Progress. I mailed it on July 2, and it felt GOOD!
My first thought was to clean the house, which has been sorely neglected these past few weeks. But there is a pile of books needing attention, too, and reading is much more fun. So instead of vacuuming this morning, I lost myself in a book about … losing one’s self in a book.
Perfect.
In WOLVES, Rabbit goes to the library and gets himself a book about wolves. Strike that; it is not just any book about wolves, but a fascinating and intriguing book about wolves. Rabbit is into this book; really into it. I can’t tell you what happens, but I can guarantee a happy ending.
Sort of.
