A River Wide is running wild! What a journey to get here, folks. I recognize A River Wide is a tiny drop in a big, big bucket of publishing. But for me this is my first traditionally published standalone, and so, on this Labor Day, I am going to rest on my laurels.Thank you to... Continue Reading →
