  1. No fair Sharon, you cannot leave us hanging like that! Actually you can, you did, and we all should. I have the benefit of being able to click on to the next chapter, but for those reading as these come I am sure it creates some excitement. I am entering the story soon and I wanted to visit each writer, read their piece and comment. I hope you will let me know what you think when I post my contribution soon.

  2. Good luck, Shannon! What the heck did Marci’s father just say!?
