For book three of The Goblets Immortal Trilogy, I wanted to do a riddle to reveal the title. Here is the answer…un-riddled…. This man was greeted as an old friend. Or was he a man? Emily could tell you, no fear you’d offend! The man in question is no man at all, but an “old […]
Lemongrass

Paint Me a Thousand Words
The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words. I would like to share some of my favorite art, but don’t expect 1,000 words on each! The painting is full of romance and whimsy (two of my favorite things!) He’s looking at her as they run from the onslaught of rain, but she’s […]
