Send me fan mail! Welcome back to Bookcast, my platform for sharing short fiction and updates on what I'm reading and writing.  This is episode 59.   I am currently working on a lil dessert project- that's a project I am doing just for fun, for the love of writing. For me, that's fanfiction and I'm working on a piece for our current writing challenge at the fanfiction archive I run. That starts Tuesday and I'm *very* nervous. It's been a minute since I wrote a serial story, and this is in a different genre than I usually write, so it's a challenge. I'll talk more about that in the writing update. I'd love your support of this podcast. If you'd like to, head to my support site at buymeacoffee.com/booksbydlwhite.
