(The profit being that you end up better read than you were when you started.) One of the good things about limited internet over the holidays was that this gave me oodles of time to read. I re-read The Letter of Marque by Patrick O’Brian and fell in love with his style and storytelling all…
I just got back from up North, and am absolutely shattered, but couldn’t leave today without mentioning the lovely review of Shining in the Sun which Elisa Rolle posted on her site today. She says Of course Alec is naïve, of course he knows that if not for his money he would have not met…
2010 has been a frustrating year for me. It’s been the year when my frozen shoulders went from annoying to “I’ve been in debilitating agony for months” and then back again to merely annoying (thank God!) It’s been a year where I’ve felt as if I was in transition, but I haven’t known from what…
Despite Christmas being a bit of a last minute emergency affair for us this year, it turned out to be a very good one. It was a last minute affair because we had been intending to go to my MIL’s this year, but she lives up North, and when the roads were bad with the…

From Mickie B Ashling. I thought this would be a simple tale of a summer romance between a closeted man and a sufter dude. Snort…I should have known better. It’s Alex Beecroft, after all. This is a memorable story of self-discovery, passion, understanding, and forgiveness. Hee! Thanks Mickie! 🙂
So, recently I’ve been reading all the advice out there about branding and using my blog as a marketing tool, creating an online persona and so forth. Well, after much careful thought, I have finally come to some conclusion about what to do in that regard. And my conclusion is this: “Sod it. It’s my…
