Everyone who follows my blogs knows how much I love to do research. As a romash (combination romance and another subgenre) writer, I’ve had to do a lot of research on any number of things, including sex. Physical research is not the only method of learning how to write a good sex scene. However, believe… Read More Let’s Talk Orgasms!
So, I was going to write about how the CDC has now come out with new guidelines that include not wearing a mask anymore if you are fully vaccinated, which we are…but then I am so dang sick of COVID, I decided not to go there. I looked back on suggestions made a week ago… Read More Boxers or Briefs
Yesterday I posted about my mini-block on what to write my Friday Blog on, and I received this hilarious video about people faking it with style.

This mostly happens after I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time reviewing and re-reading the blasted thing so many times, I often lose count! Of the twenty-three books… Read More Love/Hate Relationship

Since this is a fairly new battle cry for the right, I… Read More Cancel Culture
I don’t know about the rest of you, but every time I hop onto Facebook, there’s another sale to check out.
