    A Moment of Panic

    Much has been said about my research into Molly, but little about the writing process. If anything, it has been even more manic than my time spent with The Reader.

    My First Fans

    I have fans! Who knew? I would like to thank the two sharp-dressed gentlemen that stopped by this evening. I really wish I could remember what agency you were from, all I recall is your badges looked like tricky Scrabble racks. I’m extremely honored that you found my blog and took an interest in my… Continue reading
