There’s nothing like slow-cooked chili. That’s my new favorite thing to cook and eat. I like to make it with at least two different types of beans, tomato sauce or just the bean juice depending on how they’re cooked. Sometimes I cook the beans until they’re nice a creamy and use the cream as the […]
She’s such a beautiful creature. I love the way she stares at me, the tension in her eyes. How her skin glows red like dragon fire. Even when she tried to kill me, as she held her knife to my throat, I thought she was the most perfect woman in the world. Her hatred of […]
“Brilliant, beautiful, and with a temper quick as a razor blade,” Adam said. “Really?” Judian asked. “I don’t know that I’ve heard her described that way. I have heard other things.

I was sitting on the floor in the center. […]
So, I took a break from posting since it was Ramadan and I decided to give up social media for the month. I maybe could have still posted, but then it came down to the does-this-count-as-social-media-or-not? So I was like, eh, I’ll just cut it all. Well, now Ramadan’s over. Yippee!!! Skippee!!!
