Interview: Robyn Bradley
Robyn Bradley is the author of Support Our Troops – A Short Story , just 99 cents for Kindle. So far all the reviews are five stars, so I’m not the only one who thinks it’s quite good. The characters are strong and well drawn, the dialogue is crisp and engaging. The story drew me in immediately. The only problem with it is it’s very short! Definitely leaves you wanting more. And luckily, more is on the way.

This is the moment she starts to feel at home in America for the first time… *** One night Deepak told her, “We need to go to this fancy function at the...

It’s good to remember that if you say something about a group of people, they see it. An exchange between two young men I follow on Twitter, one of whom is a good Internet friend… C: A search that led someone to my blog, “adults sex for disability people in wheelchair nude picture” – not sure they found what they wanted. T: You have never been approached by someone with a gimp fetish? That’s always fun. C: Unfortunately not? T: I should tell you a few stories sometime. C: Indeed....

Read More“Rescue Me”, Guest Blog: Jamie Parker
Through the What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear? blog I discovered a great new voice in the blogging world, Mrs. Jamie Parker. Her posts are chipper and upbeat, without fail. She writes about clothes in ways that fill me with nostalgia and joy. She touches on the aspects of clothes that bring out emotion and self-expression. She also tells sweet, lovely stories, like the one that she is sharing with us here today. This is a story that is part of a collection that she’s putting together into a book.
