So we’re going back in off hours and revising the scenes we already posted.  Shar’s scene 3 is now 3c because I’ve revised it twice and Abby’s first scene is now 1b because Krissie just revised in this afternoon.   We’re thinking we’ll just leave them where they are since you can always find them again [...]

The idea of collaborating came early in January and instantly the three of us - me, Jenny and the mystery author we’ll just refer to as X - had great fun with the idea. This is the transcript of the very first ever Dogs and Goddesses chat, in which we name the book and Ummi [...]

Anne S. Do they know their powers?

Jenny C. Shar looks in her research for Kammani Gula
Lani D. A scroll, right?
