I know. It was a shock to me too. Oh well. I never said I was wonder woman. Anyway… to that end, I am doing something a little bit crazy. I am merging my blogs. When all is said and done, I plan to have only five to keep track of – instead of … More Because, amazingly enough, I can’t do everything…

And it soon expanded into other areas. I began seeking out roller coasters that were ridiculously fast, high, dangerous… It even seeped over into … More You simply can not “unsee” something…
Yup… this says it all. The Danger of Dystopian… I noticed it when I read my first official dystopian trilogy but I chalked it up to my being a Mercy and easily swayed by others’ emotions.

I’m crazy about my characters and the … More One reason I don’t want a movie… | An inside look at the morals of “The Taken”
