I couldn't resist not posting. I slipped off while I was climbing up my dad's SUV. I slipped all the way down and my shins hit the step. Immediately, my shins swelled and I got light scrapping. I know it's gross but it really hurt so bad

I know I promised I will go on leave but this is my last post before I finally do. Today, my boss organized a mini party to wish me well. I was really touched by this. The funny part is that she didn't know the little girl here is also taking the

It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen in my life. The waters of the bay were still, unyielding to the wind and the daunting massive clouds that lay overhead. The water was flat, blue and gray, and almost appeared to be cold. There were se

My galleys/ARC’s (advance reader’s copy) have arrived! There are two of them, and they’re paperback because they are preview copies for reviewers. Still, they have the cover on them and look very beautiful and official. I have mentioned before tha

 It must be real, because there's a full-fledged page on Amazon with cover quotes and...(drumroll, please) a COVER!  I'm not going to fuss because my publisher still hasn't sent me a jpeg.  I found the sucker on Amazon, an
