I don’t know why, but Ryan Reynolds has been on my mind a lot lately. Maybe it’s because Ryan was named 2010′s Sexiest Man of the Year by People Magazine and they’re about to announce the winner for 2011? Maybe it’s the Green Lantern movie I saw with my brother a few months ago? Maybe [...]
To all of our fellow goddesses, we send big grins and happy turkey smiles and wish you all a delightfully delicious day!
A few weeks ago, a sentence in my current manuscript was flagged as possibly racist. Now, I’ve been accused of a lot of things. Insensitive and homophobic the most common. I plead guilty to the first and laugh at the second. My oldest daughter is gay. People ask me when she “came out” like it [...]
