What feeds your soul?

By

I read a ton of fiction. I inhale novels. By July, I'd read something like sixty according to the list I keep on Goodreads.

Today I thought it would be fun to share some of those with you, while also having a link at the end for a giveaway I'm running of Randy Singer's latest novel and a copy of Tricia … [Read more...]

By

The storm could take a turn and go straight up through Florida or it could hit the eastern coast of the US. We don't know yet.
