Check back on Tuesday for the official release announcement, with buying links, or keep notified by signing up for my mailing list, liking my Facebook page, or following me on Twitter!

After the cut…an annual tradition. Continue reading

So, after the cut, join Michiko and Beth in their…”Best Christmas Ever!” Continue reading
