THIEFTESS Chapter 25: Best Beloved Sibling

Dearest Squad, The first draft of this chapter was a bunch of talking heads, as Thursday wakes up and has back-to-back heart-to hearts with Jack and then Silk. (Since I’m an ace at dialogue, my zero drafts often look more like scripts than novel chapters.) By the time I figured out what words really needed to be said between…

THIEFTESS Chapter 24: A Debt to Repay

Thieftess Thursday – Chapter 22: Plan X

Dearest Squad, The last 3 months have been so hard. Emotionally, financially, whatever. All of it. I did manage to write a short story for an anthology during January (it’s a near-future near-apocalyptic story called “Burn the Veil”), but getting back to THIEFTESS was so difficult. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rewritten Chapters 24 & 25….
