I’m behind. but glad to be catching up. I love this chapter. It’s wonderful to see another side of Kelly (well and to see Maribel see that side of her).

Oh, and I, like Julie, wanted to play with those stamps. 😄

Thanks so much, Holly. I hope you enjoy the next couple of chapters as we take the turn into the final quarter of the book.

My sound was off, but I gasped when you said something at your Zoom event the other day that cued me in to how close we were coming to an ending of this one. I think it’s the sign of a damn fine writer when you’re like, but, no. I don’t want it to end! Even as you want to see what comes next.

This was hard to read! My hands were itching to play with those stamps. Your descriptions of the scene, the physicality of sipping and stamping, and the shapes and patterns on the canvas revealing a mystical scene were all riveting.

Thank you, Julie. I was most proud of the blood in the yolk line. 😁
