Though I was beginning to become angry with it, because the three wouldn't leave Tucson! I was going to go to the Hillerman Conference (I didn't win BTW). I paid for a chapter conference with Judith Van Gieson. I kept that. We spoke this morning.

It was a very helpful time! She re-energized the novel, bringing me focus. Like using two POVs because both characters (Natty B and Dia) are great characters. So I can't wait to work on it in Paris!
