Good morning and Happy Monday! My post today will be short and sweet. We here at Stilettos, Stoli & Scribbles have a big announcement to make! As we get closer and closer to the release day for the first novel in our book series, “Eden’s Fall”, we’re doing a few things behind the scenes to…

MYOB
All I needed was a quick trim on the dragon lady nails before I did myself an injury… As I walked up to the salon I was vaguely aware of a woman coming out the door. It’s harvest time* on the farm and the goal for the day was to get groceries to feed the…

A Brilliant and Tragic Life
