NaNoWriMo This is my third go at November’s National Novel Writing Month challenge—writing 50,000 words, or a short novel, in just thirty days.

Olivia, the female lead in my latest work-in-progress, loves to cook, as does Georgia in Gray is my Heart, so I thought I’d add a few of their recipes to my blog. I can just imagine them cooking these cakes for Nye, Xavier, and the rest of the Blackwood team! WARNING: This recipe makes A […]
