The Innocent Beginning

Published on by

As we approach the publication (finally, I hope) of Miss Missy’s School Book I: A Pack of Farm Dogs Starts a School, I thought it might be fun review how this project got started. I’d need to do more research than I have time for right now, but below is one of the earlier conversations
