The third chapter of PF&HT’s serial novelette, Aspen Expose, posted Sunday. The contest associated with it continues. Look for the links to previous chapters on PF&HT’s sidebar.

Karen White joins us as our special guest chef on Friday. Karen is the author of several award-winning novels, the latest of which are The Memory of Water and The House on Tradd Street. Her lyrical prose and emotionally moving stories are reader favorites. The Lost Hours, Karen’s latest book, released last month. She’ll be giving a copy of it away as well as a copy of the hard to find and out of print, After The Rain. Comment on her post Friday to be entered in the drawing. It’s that easy.
