Booklandia has been a bit perturbed in the last couple of days, but instead of talking about that, I thought I’d talk about my release on January 1st instead. The Virgin Manny IS out in the next couple days, and it’s one of the Dreamspun Desires line. Now, I love this idea–I’ve talked about how… Read More
