I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house?

Some authors' books I will just buy (like yours), but for the rest I first see if the public library has it. If not, I try to get it through a network at the college library where I work.

Please enjoy it for me.
Best of luck- I hope you get the job!
Tricia, I worked in the local library when I was in high school too! And I'd do the same thing!!! LOL
