I blogged the other day about the new story I’m working on and gave a little peek at one of my heroes. That same day I began writing the opening scene of the story, that all important First Meet.

The Fear Factor

This week I’m starting a new project. It’s a story for an anthology to be released later this year, and until a few days ago I had no clue what I was going to write about.
