Meg Waite Clayton said… - I just opened the door to the novelist group for you, Rhiannon - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that. (And hope the time works for across the pond.)
