@WV511 Just ended up taking us an hour from Winchester to near Hedgesville. We went through Gerradstown / Arden-Nollville, and it was getting packed with 18-wheelers!

@DzintraSullivan “Someone get the package off the porch!”

@theBookDevourer I read about this in Revelation.

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

The writing is going well, thanks for asking. 😂

I’m simultaneously formatting one ms for publication and researching/outlining my next book. It’s a lot! But ’sall good.

@KyleOwe02309720 @mcwilsonky Oh, yeah! We’re family now! On my way! 😂

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

@eddawriter Peaky blinders? 😂

The Newcomer House (Rt. 34, north of the National Cemetery) saw the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) in September 1862. Today, I attended a ranger-led program about action on the ridges, slopes, and gulley just south of the home. Reenactors demonstrated a Union skirmish approach.

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

@eddawriter Yup. And now I’m afraid to go back because what if I forget it again and end up spending more money on everything but that thing? 😂

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

Dang. Sorry y’all died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail! 😂

And the person who died of a rattlesnake bite was probably going to die of dysentery eventually. 🤷‍♀️

@DoriJeanDill I don’t mind prologues. I think the caution is more about languishing in backstory instead of getting to the meat of the story.

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

@KyleOwe02309720 @mcwilsonky Can I be in your family? ☕️

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]

@eddawriter Well, you could make a case for pork, but I do love chickety China the Chinese chicken!

Sorry, Colonel.

@theBookDevourer I’m sure somewhere in America has these, but I’ve never seen one until now AND I AM SALIVATING (and trying to ignore every health rule that says this is bad for me, 😂).

[Books WV @BerkeleyBooksWV]
