One of the fringe benefits of writing is that one meets some very special persons. One such lady is Melissa Genevieve Nelsen, who has just launched the first vintage of her new Genevieve Methode Cap Classique.

I don’t text much. I’ve never understood the appeal of frantically typing out garbled syntax when I’m supposed to be driving, working, or having dinner with someone. Texts have neither the intimacy of a phone call nor the coherence of an email. Clearly, I’m not a Luddite. After all, I created this b ...

This is a long chapter. Sorry. Thanks to Nicole who has read and critiqued chapters 1-6! You don't have to keep reading if you don't want to. :D Chapter Seven Dru looked over her shoulder to see Piers standing silently behind her as though he’d always been there. “Howdy, Amos.

Are you like your grandparents? Or are you very different? I’m quite excited by all the new science that is going on: biological engineering, nanotechnology, the particle collider, and so on.
