Going to Hell has never been on my bucket list ... until now.

The fact that I can speak that sentence without laughing or losing my mind is absurd. However, my life has veered into a very tricky tale that rivals any of my books.

The villain has been banished. I've written her right into an infernal doom. Unfortunately, a few of my very dear friends, fictional and real, have been caught up in the horror story and they've taken the trip down under as well.

It's my fault and I can only see one way out ... a plot twist of epic proportions. The fairy tale is imploding and my imagination has taken flight.

The ending is murky and the stakes are up to me. There is no other alternative.

If I don't get this ending right, my happy ever after might become a happy never after.
