Apologies for the late delivery of this week’s Currently Inked. I try to do these videos once a week on Thursday, but sometimes, life takes over and there just isn’t enough time in the day to get it all done!  I was under deadline for an audiobook narrating gig this week, and so the Currently Inked video had to be a bit delayed.  I tried a new camera for this episode, in my never-ending quest to get a better picture and audio. I’m not quite there yet, but I’m closer than ever before!
