Finished The Battle of Life! What a beautiful story—and one of realism rather than involving the typical cast of paranormal but philanthropic beings or visitors at Christmas time!
Looking forward to The Haunted Man!

Finished Part 1 of The Haunted Man. Wow! What a premise! The idea that our compassion for others comes from the pain, sorrow, and wounds we ourselves have gone through—AND what would happen if we were offered a supernatural freedom from all memory of that pain and sorrow… Fascinating so far!!

Continuing on with The Battle of Life! It’s not particularly Christmas in nature… 😅 I need to have this one and The Haunted Man finished up by the end of the month, so I can dive into Edwin Drood in August!

Done the first “Chirp” of The Cricket on the Hearth. Intriguing premise and setup!
