My very good friend Sara Saint John’s book, Blood Atonement, is out in print! And look, it’s at Amazon. Here’s a taste… swiped this excerpt off her website. Vlad nodded slowly as he held Matthias’ unblinking gaze. “Then let us drink on it, Brother.” “Very well, but only one. I have a matter of great importance…

Friday Ramble
Don’t know where my head was on that list. John Cusack isn’t on it. I’m afraid he’d beat out John Stewart. <g> Okay, I’m way behind on the Scene From a Pic, so I’m going to put that up here for the weekend instead of art and music. I had music lined up, but I…

Happy Stuff, Difficult Stuff, Good Music and SFAP Reminder

Search String Fun
Having a blast looking at the searches that ended up on my blog again. Warning: Some of them are uh, strange. Warning 2: I apologize ahead of time for exposing you to my unfortunate sense of humor. Worf Penises– Nothing like a grand kick-off. I posted a pic of Worf once. Think it was in…
