So I am having a problem with my brain where people ask me about the writing and I accidentally spill spoilers all over them. I think it’s because I’m writing synopses.

Arkem: Hey, Kandace. Me: Hello, you! You are on my to-do list for today! Arkem: How exciting. Me: Well… not that I need to do you. That would be a little wrong. But things. Things with you. Arkem: Moving in the right direction. But not quite out of the dodgy woods yet. Me: Right. We […]
