The first pass edit on Sweep of the Heart is finished. Finally. This was a bear of an edit, for various reasons, but mostly because very little time passed between finishing the manuscript and editing it. A bit of time and distance helps, but we very much wanted to make sure the audio was available

Curran’s Middle Name?
Does anyone know Curran’s middle name? None of us can recall it, it’s not in any of the background files, but we are almost certain it was mentioned. This is not an indication that we are working on KD. We are not.

Coincidentally Kid 2 is finishing her project, so right now our mother-daughters interaction consists of whining to each other through text, “Why won’t it end?” and then staring at it blankly because there isn’t enough
