Slipped Masks … project update:




Chapter 14 has evolved.
In the first draft, this chapter was short and the character, Casey, was considering his options, while preparing to resume the next part of his journey.
In this second draft revision, there are three murders.
I love writing thrillers!
Word count: 61,714.
More to come.
