Happy Holidays!!!

By Cheryl Dyson December 5, 2015 Leave a comment

It’s been a while since we’ve updated here, thanks to winter stealthily sneaking up on us and then hitting hard like the cold, cold beyotch that she is. Where did December come from? What happened to November?? Two of our authors were very busy this summer making an epic pilgrimage across Spain. Xina Marie Uhl […]

By Cheryl Dyson February 3, 2015 Leave a comment

Since I utterly, utterly fail at regular blogging, I’m taking part in Tonia Brown’s 26-week blog challenge.

Frequently it is because something went […]

The Hero – Balance in Pairs
