Hello, my name is Chris and it has been 24 days since my last blog post... But seriously. No really... 24 days. I should mention that it has been the 28th day in a row of over 100 degrees here. Why is that important? Because for the day job I run a landscaping company. You … Continue reading JULY: the month that had no words…
Fake it till you make it
June was a cruel month at work. I am hot and tired, and frankly I can barely type my hand hurts so much... I managed to do some ligament damage creating painful forearm rotation and my hand is sore from over use. So I present to you this lovely reminder that I have a running … Continue reading Fake it till you make it
Last Week on This Blog, Tonight…
I dictated this last week, in an attempt to prove that I was indeed super-human and could work 45 hour week in the 100 degree plus heat AND be all wordy. Now I do suppose if I had used the old "Dictated not Read" premise of days gone by this post would have been on … Continue reading Last Week on This Blog, Tonight…
The Innkeeper Chronicles
This series is a good part of the reason I look for Friday to hurry up and come. Ilona Andrews had been treating fans to Friday releases of segments. In many ways we watched it happen "live." Originally sections were posted on Wattpad for consumption, soon they moved to posting it on their blog. A … Continue reading The Innkeeper Chronicles
Court of Thorns And Roses Series Review
WELL, that was a weekend... I was supposed to be getting things done but instead had a kindle glued to my hand. I had grand plans, so very little got accomplished.

THE Bad Wolf by Tim McGregor
Ok, first I should just come out and say it, I have a serious crush on this cover. SO serious I actually showed the husband and forced him to put on glasses so he "could get a real good look at it." I can't explain it. This is just how true love works. Magic. Once … Continue reading THE Bad Wolf by Tim McGregor

I was able to meet Ilona and Andrew Gordon (pen name Ilona Andrews) at the Austin stop on the Kisscon Promotional tour.

Word to your Mother…
I spent over an hour yesterday standing in front of my scanner, one of many to come. Years ago my mom gave me shoe boxes full of letters that she would write to my grandmother. I put them aside, not really giving them much though until recently. Mom passed away and anything that had to … Continue reading Word to your Mother…
