Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 3: “Strange Days”
I've been listening to a lot of We Are Augustines lately. Their songs fit seamlessly into the scenes I'm writing for Valentine and the music blends nicely for the rainy weather that has settled back over for Seattle (time to break out the Bourbon and start a fire in the fireplace and throw some beef stew … Continue reading Rejection Playlist Volume 3, Track 3: “Strange Days”
My thoughts on Banned Book Week
Earlier this week I compared Banned Book week to Christmakuh and Mardi Gras. "Show me some skin and I'll show you where the banned books are. Better yet, keep yourself covered. I'll still point you to And Tango Makes Three and Harry Potter and Slaughterhouse Five." Nobody thought that was funny. I love BBW, but I … Continue reading My thoughts on Banned Book Week
