The Long and Winding Road

The tension has been mounting as the identity of Julia's murderer has been revealed to the residents of South Beach. Will the mysterious woman claim another victim before all is said and done? The only way to find out is to read chapter 19 of Dark December titled Crescendo.

I want to thank Beth from the bottom of my heart for the incredible amount of work she did on this one. This was a monstrous collaboration. With the exception of approximately a dozen or so screen caps, Beth took each and every shot. This is not an easy task when you consider that she needed to interpret the emotions and thought process behind each sentence to frame the shots. If you had been inside my head these past few days you would know that was not easy for her to do. Beth, you were spot on. I could not have done a better job and you have my deepest gratitude.

Things are really coming to a head now with Dark December. I will allow a glimpse into chapter 20 for you so pay close attention since there may be a quiz at the end. Bonni will be giving birth (I hope), a few couples who have patiently sat on the back burner will be front and center, and Wyatt will make some interesting choices.

So Beth, this one is dedicated to you. You're always there to support, assist, and encourage.

  1. You're welcome, but you've done a lot of hard things for me too! and it is not hard to visualize a scene, your writing is so clear and so evocative.

    And the BEST shots are yours!

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
