Served With A Twist
After a year of writing every Saturday about writing, our writing process, our stumbles and triumphs, this is our last regular Saturday post.

Just under the wire! Forgive the late post, tonight was an annual dinner we cater and the 48 hours surrounding these events are a bit hectic. My brother mans the smoker, the rest of us kick in for the other stuff. JSB and Kate are as always the best service crew – and after 10+…
