<\/a>First of all, I hope every\u00adone in the east is safe and warm with the win\u00adter storm. While you all name your storms after Dis\u00adney fish though, we here in Wyoming will con\u00adtin\u00adue to get 15 inch\u00ades of snow and not com\u00adplain. We\u2019re tough like that. Sec\u00adond\u00adly, isn\u2019t that pic\u00adture of Calvin awe\u00adsome? Some won\u00adder\u00adful guy took some C&<\/span>H pic\u00adtures and super\u00adim\u00adposed them onto some real pho\u00adtos. Click on that pic\u00adture to see more.<\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/span> <\/strong>Soooo close to fin\u00adish\u00ading this book! Well, it\u2019s not a long one, so I should\u00adn\u2019t be too proud of myself. This will be the sec\u00adond book in the Earth Scents series, but since it\u2019s most\u00adly just an epi\u00adlogue to Falling Star mixed with a pro\u00adlogue of Dean\u2019s sto\u00adry titled Ris\u00ading Heat, I\u2019m label\u00ading it as Earth Scents Book 1.5. I hope that makes sense. I\u2019ve thought of a title\u2026I think. I\u2019ll reveal that when I know for sure.<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/span><\/strong> Sure\u00adly you all heard the news about a hitch\u00adhik\u00ader who saved the day when he stopped a man from a mur\u00adder\u00adous ram\u00adpage. The Gre\u00adgo\u00adry Broth\u00aders (known for the Bed Intrud\u00ader hit) are back with this song, which real\u00adly is touch\u00ading. And funny:
\n<\/object>
\nAnd you don\u2019t even have to thank me for that ear\u00adworm. That\u2019s a bonus.<\/p>\n

Prob\u00ada\u00adbly the best thing you can do to let a girl know you\u2019re inter\u00adest\u00aded is dri\u00adve by at 5mph and stare her down. Maybe even yell something.<\/p>\n

Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/strong> <\/span>This week Ama\u00adzon received a patent to open \u201can elec\u00adtron\u00adic mar\u00adket\u00adplace for used dig\u00adi\u00adtal objects,\u201d includ\u00ading e\u2011books, audio, video, com\u00adput\u00ader appli\u00adca\u00adtions, and more. So this means sec\u00adond-hand ebooks and used mp3 music. The patent was filed in 2009, and just award\u00aded this week. Of course it sent quite a tremor through the indus\u00adtry, since there has always been a fine line between an ebook \u201cpur\u00adchase\u201d and a \u201cdig\u00adi\u00adtal license\u201d. A patent does\u00adn\u2019t mean Ama\u00adzon will fol\u00adlow through with any\u00adthing, so for now it\u2019s all just spec\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion. We shall see.[source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m read\u00ading ~<\/strong> <\/span>Croc and the Fox by Eve Langlais. The blurb is pret\u00adty long but here\u2019s the hook:\u00c2 An ornery croc dis\u00adcov\u00aders he does have a pulse when a hot to trot fox decides to latch on, and nev\u00ader let go. Tongue in cheek humor, siz\u00adzling moments and a tiny, evil vil\u00adlain await.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Tear\u00adjerk\u00ader ~<\/strong> <\/span>New\u00adtown CT<\/span> received lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly tons of sym\u00adpa\u00adthy mail after the Sandy Hook school shoot\u00ading. Moth\u00ader Jones, and Tum\u00adblr Sto\u00adry\u00adboard<\/a> have teamed up with a local hero to dig\u00adi\u00adtal\u00adly archive all of these as a memo\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal. Grab a tissue:

\n<\/a>Book Snip\u00adpet ~<\/span><\/strong> From Treat, my free read pre\u00adquel to Retreat:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Well, here you go, Miss Ham\u00adton.\u201d He hand\u00aded her Jaun\u00adtie\u2019s reins and her hel\u00admet. \u201cShow me what you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

She shook her hair back to put the hel\u00admet on. \u201cI know lots of things.\u201d She lift\u00aded an eye\u00adbrow and saun\u00adtered around him to mount the horse. \u201cMight take all morn\u00ading to show you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake shook his head, a dev\u00adil\u00adish grin hid\u00ading behind his eyes. \u201cCity slick\u00aders get so cocky with any kind of horsepower.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s it for this week. Thanks for stop\u00adping by!<\/p>\n\n
