6 Ideas For A More Creative Space
If you haven’t guessed it – this month’s theme is creativity. One of the most frequent questions people ask me is: “How do you optimize your space for creativity?” That’s not always and easy answer because I feel like I’m still experimenting with my own creative space.

Falling From Grace #bdsm #eroticromance
He’ll give up everything… Kevin Michaels rebelled against his strict Catholic upbringing and spent his days living on the fringe and immersing himself in The Dark Places, a club of debauchery and decadence a lifetime away from the quaint town he grew up in.

More Tales From the Writing Life
So earlier this evening I was watching that Siri commercial and thinking, I really need to get my phone to remind me to call the vet to set up the appointment to have the cats shaved.
