Hello everyone! I have a different sort of post today. It’s not a new story. Sorry! I am actively writing and editing, though, and I’ll have ‘interesting news’ later this year. 🙂 Instead, I thought I’d talk about names, specifically where I find them.

A few years ago, I wrote a duet of second-chance loves stories …
