Progress, Progress
Currently, I am writing a Romantic Novel (bisexual) called THE THIRTEENTH STEP, about couples entangled in relationships in and outside 12-Step Programs. The 13th Step, you might guess, is verboten because it interferes with physical and mental sobriety. The step suggests Adam and Eve taking a bite out of that apple. You know what happened!
