I have largely been without Internet for most of this month. I’m back now, but it will be sporadic at best and I apologize. I hope that I will be able to make posts through my kindle and email, but it’s been giving me a hard time lately and some posts haven’t gone through.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I have several things to share, so brace yourself:<\/p>\n

Heroes & Villains was reviewed by Joyfully Jay and got 4-stars and a really nice write up. I was scared to look at first — I’m such a wuss — but it was a really nice review. I’m still grinning.<\/p>\n

\nI’ve added some to ParaShift, if you’re\u00a0following that. Chapter Fourteen will be coming up shortly, and we’re already 39,000 words in.<\/p>\n

For the official version, Park is becoming an ever more interesting character. Seriously, this dude should be named\u00a0B.A. Park, because he’s just that bad ass. He’s also more thoughtful than I first envisioned him to be. He’s turning into a real romantic lead.
\n* * *
\nI would like to wish the lovely L.J. LaBarthe<\/a>\u00a0a happy birthday.<\/p>\n
