Here’s What I Do When I’m Not Writing…Plus a Giveaway!

The trail was difficult even during the day.
Where was Russell? The last thing he remembered was McKee’s dead face. James’s stomach cramped just thinking of it. Losing Mac was one thing; he was convinced the man had peace with God. But McKee? It didn’t bear thinking about.
