It's always kind of weird, yet fun, to hear your stories read by someone else. The story is from "Tales of a Texas Boy," a set of twenty related stories narrated by a boy growing up in West Texas in the ( Read more... ) -
Vegas Report
Buffets have gone downhill big time. Our fav, Paris, is a ghost of its former splendor. Not sucks, but isn't to die for anymore ( Read more... ) -
Vegas, Baby! And Ants
Long time since our last out-of-towner. We're heading for Sin City on Sunday. We'll drag our sorry asses back on Thursday. What are we looking forward to the most ( Read more... ) -
Querying
I've decided to query the second book in the Witches of Galdorheim series. All three books stand on their own feet (if books actually have feet), so I can go with any of the three. Since the first is not getting much love, I'll just give #2 a whirl.
