How Readers Talk to Each Other – VS – A Synopsis
I often blog about finding readers.

Did You Miss Me or Did You Not Notice I Was Missing? ;)
My Mom used to say, "When a guy's sick he don't feel good." She would say it in the cutest voice. She would say it to any of us who weren't feeling well, as she sweetly wiped our hair away from our brow and administered her one of a kind healing powers. Chicken soup, hot … Continue reading Did You Miss Me or Did You Not Notice I Was Missing? 😉
