It’s been a long month, and hopefully the journey was worth it for those of you who have been following along at home. The almost daily schedule wasn’t nearly as arduous as I had thought it would be, and heck, maybe I’ll even write another post or two someday! For the final entry in the Blogging from A-to-Z Challenge, […]
Y is for Yard Sales

This series had me enthralled with its perfect mix of complex characters and universe-spanning adventures, and just looking at these covers brings back fond memories of reading them and dissecting the stories with my friends. I may have had a half dozen long boxes filled […]
