The Journey II: Mission Completed (sort of…)
Four days ago, I typed the words, "The End" (or "To Be Continued" depending on what happens next) on my first novel, Southern Devils. What started out as a short story with a very sordid past, finally became the book I hoped it would. Right now, I'm taking a few days to catch up on …

Honestly, when you think about it, I don't think I'd ever grow to gleefully take the red pen of death to my work. While I don't enjoy seeing my stories torn apart, …
