My mom is being released tomorrow and will be settled back in her little apartment. She's been very content at The Laurels but is anxious to get back home. She'll have meals delivered at noon and we'll take care of dinner, so all she has to do is...

Continuing to be a stranger...

Jan 12, 2010 8:52am

Just when I resolved to turn over a new leaf in 2010 and get things back to hopping over here, a little wrench was tossed to the icy ground and has put my good blogging intentions on hold for a bit longer. The wrench's name is Weezy. She's...

Won't you help me welcome author Colleen Love?

Dec 21, 2009 1:30am

If there was a listing for Colleen Love in the dictionary, there would undoubtedly be a photo of something soft, warm and gooey because she is a gentle soul, definitely one of the sweetest, kindest women I've ever met. (Even if we've never met!) Colleen is wife, mother, animal...

Lacey Alexander, undisputed Queen of Sizzle

Nov 11, 2009 2:42am

Lacey Alexander (aka Toni Blake) can pack more sizzle into a book than any other erotic author I've read. I'll be honest, I don't read that many erotic authors. Now before you start thinking I've got my granny panties in a twist, I'll admit that some erotic romance is just...

HOLIDAY READING - lots of choices!

Nov 7, 2009 6:57pm
