A serial writer’s notebook ~ from the pen behind Lore of the Underlings, an episodic epic…
In this week’s Lore, a teen girl’s diary, her book of secrets, has found its way into evidence as Exhibit A of an epic trial. Even worse, the heartless magistrate has ordered she read it aloud in court.

Xoxo and Qoqo traded looks. The older Yo girl snatched the book of secrets. Then she faced the music.

Perhaps not what Walt Whitman had in mind.
