My agent read the chapters I’ve written so far and wrote, “This stuff is gripping, vivid, cliff-hanging. The characters are amazing. Esp. Rhine. I just love it Stacy.”
Howard read it and said it was one draft away from being great (everything is first draft now, of course, and still needs polishing).
So, I’m giving myself one of my favorite treats, a trip to the beauty parlor! (No one calls them that anymore, but that’s what they were called when I was growing up.)
Here’s a group shot of some of the people I’m writing about. Thank you for living such amazing lives!
The guy on the lower right looks strangely like George Bush.
Wait, the guy with one foot on one stair and the other foot on a lower stair? That’s Rhine! The star of the show.
