TUESDAY Tales from the Word GIRL



 Welcome to this week's edition of Tuesday Tales. The weekly blog post invites readers to follow along as we write our books,  but there's a twist. Each week, we have to incorporate a specific word into our stories. This week, our scenes are based on the word GIRL. Please feel free to comment on any or all of the posts. You can get to them by clicking on the author's name. When you're done one, come back for the others.
