    That's a great first chapter. Not only was it entertaining, but I learned a few things from it. I really like the opening line.

    As an interesting factoid, this chapter was an eleventh-hour change in the manuscript. It scraped in under the deadline, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks for reading!

    I know! I feel sorry for the poor guy. Almost.

    Outstanding! I have to admit I looked through your Dreamlander boards on Pinterest. They gave me a wonderful visual of your story.

    I have a board for my WIP. It's motivating and inspiring to scroll through the images that fit the story in my head.

    Thank you! I always have a ton of fun putting together visuals for stories. They inform pretty much every step of the process.
