The Girdle of Melian

ack in 2011, I held a week-long contest to celebrate the fact that I'd reached my 500th post , after nearly four years of blogging. At the time, I sorted many of my previous posts into groups, which made for easy referencing, especially of story material. (Also because I've never tagged my posts!) When I celebrated reaching my 1000th post during last year's A to Z Challenge there wasn't time to sort all the posts between 2011 and 2016. What better time than now? I’m actually going to go over 1,000, and collate all posts to the end of 2016! And I’m going to link to every single post (except for the A to Z posts, which are mostly summarized), something I didn’t do in my original 500 compilation, or even in my 900th post compilation. I’ve got lots of fun themes coming up for each day -- and each day will also highlight a fellow blogger or two! Today is... -- everything else! The kitchen sink!

Hosting a charity book fair , and here Interviewed by J C Marti

ery excited today! I've got a review and exclusive excerpt from Kristen Callihan 's latest release in her Game On series. Can't wait to read this one!         First we were friends. Then we were roommates. Now I want more… What can I say about Chess Copper? The woman is capable of bringing me to my knees. I know this about five minutes after getting naked for her. No one is more surprised than me. The prickly photographer my team hired to shoot our annual charity calendar isn’t my usual type. She’s defense to my offense, a challenge at every turn.
