Well sure he’s gorgeous. But he’s some kind of homeschooled trespasser. 16 year old Ryann has too much on her mind already. It’s not like she has time for a mysterious curly-haired stranger with vivid green eyes. Her mom’s kind of a wreck after her father's affair and the financial disaster he left behind. Ryann and her mother had to move in with Grandma. That thing when Ryann was 6 – that was a hallucination. She was freezing to death. She just imagined the boy who saved her. It’s not as if the intriguing guy that just appeared in the same woods were she got lost on a cold January night 10 years earlier could really be him.

I’d like to say that my family’s recent trip to Minnesota was just for fun, but there was more to it. This week’s update also includes musings on being held hostage by my own creativity and the rundown on my authorly pursuits. Let me hijack your attention for a few minutes. I promise to return it safe and sound or at least in a slightly more entertained and informed version of its original condition. I’m an author, not a miracle worker.
