Return of the long lost muse!

My muse came to visit today! It's been so long I hardly recognized her. She brought with her an idea I'd had years ago and today I started sketching out the first scenes.

critique group, anyone?

Anyone interested? Please contact me privately or leave a message here with your availability, interests, and contact info.
