On the finish line.

I feel like I am screaming into the deadline for book 2.

I spent yesterday trying to track down my boats, where they were and who was Captaining them so I can make room for my new Captain Paddy Connel.

I also lost Eli. Found him.

I added a part way back in chapter 2 when Eli went to Iowa to introduce Samantha to her real mother. He gives her this horse pin that she sent along with him. It was hers as a little girl.

My mother gave me this pin when I was a little girl. It has been treasured.
