I'm trying something a little different this year. The Romance Reviews is a review website that focuses on, you guessed it, reviewing romance books. Here's the twisty part for me. Their primary audience is straight women, and I write lesbian romance. Still, when the opportunity came up to participate in their Year End Splash, I … Continue reading The Romance Reviews Year End Splash

Daylight Savings
This time of year I hear most folks talking about how much they love autumn. The air is crisper, the leaves are changing colors, a lot of vegetables and fruits are being harvested.

How Does Your Garden Grow?
My god this gardening thing is tricky. So far all I've really figured out is that I really don't know much. Sigh. Still, I've managed to complete a few things. We planted strawberries that will hopefully give us some fruit next year--providing the squirrels don't dig them all up before that can happen.

When he played football, the coach put him in as center most of the time because he is built like a brick. He is big and strong and has … Continue reading What’s a Little Teasing Between Friends?
