« Previous EntriesBanned Books Week
When people talk about BBW this week, they aren’t talking about Big Beautiful Women, at least most of them aren’t. They are talking about Banned Books Week.
It’s a shame that in this day and age there are people out there who think they have the right to choose what others read, see or interact with [...]
Hoarders
I am addicted to the new A&E show, Hoarders. Every week they document the lives of two people who are diagnosed with a Hoarding disorder. It is fascinating, educational and, at times, heartbreaking. In one recent episode there was even a case of a seven-year old boy who is afflicted with this condition. I was [...]
A free read… part 2 (R rated)
Here’s the continuation of Holiday Spirits. Enjoy the free read!
“I’m Jenna.” I returned his smile and held out my hand. When he took it and brought it to his lips, placing a gentleman’s kiss on my knuckles, my nerves pranced not with pre-race jitters, but with deep, long forgotten desire. I gazed into the [...]
Roman Polanski
By A.J. Llewellyn
Romance novelists for years have used the ‘rape’ ruse as a convenient way for the ‘hero’ to seduce his usually virginal heroine. In these novels, an act of hatred turns to love. An act of hatred becomes glossed over in these pages, it becomes a fuel for fantasy that let’s face it, is [...]
Happy Friday
Hi everybody.
First I would like to apologize for being awol the last couple of weeks. Between work and working on my anthologies I have been busy.
I wanted to mention that Desiree de Cleves’ book Love Inferno will finally be out this next week–Oct 1.
This has been a labor of love for her and concidering the [...]
Something to look forward to…
The last few weeks so many things have seemed to pass me by. So many deaths, from Sen Kenneday to Farrah Fawcett, so many other trajedies from rising deaths surrounding elections in the middle east and increasing number of americans dying by roadside bombings as our warrioirs fight wars on foreign soldiers. Too often I [...]
It doesn’t cost a thing
I was having a particularly bad day in the lab one day. The chemicals needed replaced and the processor has some sort of hidden leak that I had to find and fix and our control strip reader was on the fritz. All of these things I’m expected to either fix or call in the techs [...]
A free read… part 1 (R rated)
Over the next few weeks, as a lead-in to my Halloween release, In the Spirit (TBR 10/15 by extasy books,) I am sharing some pages of Holiday Spirits. In Holiday Spirits we meet Artim and Jenna, hero and heroine of Holiday Spirits, and Katie and Ned, a main character and hero in In the Spirit. For [...]
Goodbye Patrick
I am so sadden by the death of Patrick Swayze that I feel compelled to write about him today. With the way some certain celebs act, (Yes Kanye, I’m talking about you.) it’s not very often where you find a true inspiration like Mr. Swayze. From making us all fall in love with him in [...]
Thought I’d Share…
Here’s a cute story hubby sent me via email. I don’t know where he got it from though…
They told me the big black Lab’s name was Reggie as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I’d only been in the area for six [...]
