Okay– so I went back and realized I had blogged APPALLINGLY few times in the last two weeks–blogger’s guilt– IT’S REAL! Anyway– yesterday was a big day for Squish.  She had a tea party–something she has been excited about  for TWO WEEKS, and I was invited.  Of course, I didn’t realize I was invited to… Read More

AOkay– first things first.  Last night, Mate and I went to a traveling Christmas Party.  A bunch of people in the same neighborhood walked from house to house and drank a lot.  (I drank a lot of water.  It was COLD, and I was having more fun watching the drunk people walk, really.  Anyway, in… Read More

Heya!  Yes– the last post was pretty bleak, and there’s not much I can do about that.  Many of you know that I’ve been on leave from my job for the last fifteen months, and you know why.  You know why I’m so adamant that my work is not porn, and why I believe romance–all… Read More

The… Read More

Okay, so I have two upcoming releases in December.  I’ll talk about Fur-Bearing Critters next week–it’s part of the Advent Calendar, and it’s really hella cute.  I also have (sort of by request) this one here.  This couple is Ryan and Scott, and they were the couple from the Curious Anthology story, Shirt, as well… Read More

From my crazy family to yours.
