It’s Sept. 24. I’ve got my bouquet of fresh flowers and my new saucepan (rewards system in effect here) and I’m feeling ready to begin my next story, which will be the 3rd story in my Mabel Hartley series. The good news is that I spent most of last winter researching this story so now I’m going through my papers and rediscovering this story, which will land Mabel in the desert of Jordan.
