Plumber’s oath

Fiona took the oath as an apprentice with her union last week.

I thought I would spotlight the ending of this oath, which is just awesome:

“…I do further promise and swear that I am not a member of any organization advocating the overthrow by force and violence of the Government of the United States or of Canada.

I take this obligation voluntarily, without any mental reservation, and bind myself until death under the penalty of scorn due to moral perjury and violated honor as one unworthy of trust or assistance.”

The glare report

Passed 40,000 words on the novel today.

You know, it really does seem like there’s a book in there somewhere.

And for the first time, I’ve pulled in a character from Emerald House Rising. Yes, it IS a sequel!
