Wel\u00adcome! Hope you all had a great Valen\u00adtine\u2019s Day. This pic\u00adture is from Rus\u00adsi\u00ada\u2019s mete\u00ador land\u00ading which was beau\u00adti\u00adful and also scary as hell. \u00c2 Watch\u00ading the dash cams made me real\u00adize that the Russ\u00adian peo\u00adple are much calmer than we Americans.<\/p>\n

Work in Progress News ~<\/span><\/strong> Well, I fin\u00adished my short sto\u00adry, my cri\u00adtique part\u00adners did\u00adn\u2019t hate it, so that\u2019s a good thing. They sug\u00adgest I tweak the last scene, so I\u2019ll do that. Still unsure whether to pub\u00adlish this guy while I write Dean\u2019s sto\u00adry (book two) or wait until Dean is almost done. I\u2019ll keep chew\u00ading on it. In oth\u00ader news, I got the first draft of my cov\u00ader for Tak\u00ading Her There<\/a>. I real\u00adly like it. Fun and flir\u00adty. I asked for one change, we\u2019ll see if they can accom\u00admo\u00addate, then I can show it off! Excit\u00ading stuff.<\/p>\n

Favorite Song of the Week ~<\/strong> <\/span>A new one from The Piano Guys. They also record\u00aded the instru\u00admen\u00adtal ver\u00adsion, and I almost post\u00aded that, but this female singer Megan Nicole<\/a> took my breath away. Some\u00adone to watch.

Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/strong><\/span> Looks like the Depart\u00adment of Jus\u00adtice approved the Pen\u00adguin and Ran\u00addom House merg\u00ader, so it\u2019s offi\u00adcial\u00adly the Big Five. Still wait\u00ading for the Ran\u00addom Pen\u00adguin Twit\u00adter account\u2026

What I\u2019m read\u00ading ~<\/span><\/strong> Snow\u00adfall by Cameron Dane:\u00c2 Togeth\u00ader for four years now, Chris\u00adt\u00adian and Jon\u00adah from A Fos\u00adtered Love are still wild\u00adly in love and pas\u00adsion\u00adate\u00adly attract\u00aded to each oth\u00ader. Jon\u00adah has nev\u00ader seen snow, and Chris\u00adt\u00adian thinks he\u2019s set in place the per\u00adfect Valentine\u2019s Day week\u00adend away to show his man some\u00adthing new.\u2026<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Tear\u00adjerk\u00ader~<\/strong><\/span> A month or so old, but still awe\u00adsome. A lawyer moves in with his moth\u00ader so he can let a home\u00adless fam\u00adi\u00adly live in his house for a year:
