  Slow and steady wins the race, right? This week I spent some time reading the work over and over again with a different goal each time.&nbsp; Tedious work but necessary.&nbsp; I stopped reading to write down several ideas for future work.
It would be so easy to focus on writing a new story right now and let the edits slide but I won't allow myself to do that. I want to finish this first. I need to spend some time reading reviews at Amazon for books about police procedures. I've checked the local library but they don't have anything, a disadvantage of living&nbsp; in rural America. My husband asked what I want for my birthday, which isn't until September, so he just may end up with a list of reference books.
This week I read a Harlequin Intrigue Romantic Suspense by Debra Webb titled Agent Cowboy .&nbsp; Today I'm starting In The Presence of My Enemies by Gracia Burnham with Dean Merrill. It's&nbsp;an account of the year Martin and Gracia Burnham spent&nbsp;in captivity when they were kidnapped by Abu Sayyaf, a terrorist group with ties to Osama bin Laden.
