Bad news, good news…
Bad news, if you are waiting on the After The Virus prequel short story, you will be waiting until Spring 2014 now. Good news! The prequel short is now a novel titled Without Warning. Bad news, it is not a direct prequel to After The Virus (i.e. the main character is NOT Snickers). Good news! A […]

But, never fear, the paperback […]

Gertie’s Cupcakes…
I’m not too sure that I want to share Gertie’s cupcake photo, because her version of Charm in a Cup looks so much better than mine ever do. Nice frosting job, Gertie! Gertie just emailed this photo and note a few minutes ago and I couldn’t wait to share it. She wrote, “I made sure […]
