Hey, Where’s the New Site?
Like a recalcitrant rake unrepentantly holding on to his profligate ways, one of the databases that holds up the Hot Pink Palace of Bitchery with turgid columns of strength is refusing to import peacefully. I have faith that the noble heroine at work will eventually charm his pants off so that he imports with ease, but for now, we have to regroup and attack the rake from a different, unexpected angle. What's that mean for … Continue reading Hey, Where’s the New Site?

Classic Romance - Which One First? Jude Deveraux Recommendations

So, let’s get started! A Knight in Shining Armor [Amazon … Continue reading Classic Romance - Which One First? Jude Deveraux Recommendations
