This year, I am happy to participate in RJ Scott's blog hop to raise awareness for autism. Each post contains a fact about autism, many of which were new to me. Just reading through that list alone is an education, but I can also recommend the various articles that go with each of those facts.
Here is the fact I was given: According to a 2012 survey, 27% of children with autism have been exclude... Read more of this blog post »

| Just like the two previous books in this series, this third novel is a fantastic blend of old Sumerian legends and lycan lore, freely intermixed with Lexi Ander's more than fertile imagination. The plot, as they say, thickens, and as annoying as it w...more | |

Hearts and Flowers: A Tale of Hay Fever and Bad Decor

| "Let the mayhem begin", the final sentence of the boob blurb, is a perfect summary of this story. In the best way, it describes the hilarious mishaps two of Cupid's most clumsy helpers happen to create when they bungle up (yet another) Valentine's Da...more | |
"
This is a wonderful story of two long-term friends as they try to make their way in 2082. There is a good deal more sizzle and passion, however, which is a fine counterpoint to the trouble these two gals find themselves in. Add to the mix, or shou...

Well, it was described as an HEA by some people. I would see it as more of HFN because not all the questions are answered. (Hence book 2!) But I don't want to pressure you. Go with what you feel is right. My book WILL make you mad, sad, happy, and everything in between. (If other readers reviews are any indicator) And I don't mind bad reviews. I tell people to write what they feel! I do.

That is a good challenge, Wade. Yes, basically it is the prospect of reading something sad. More importantly, all of the Bittersweet Dreams titles are just out for me because, unless I have some sort of assurance of a HFN or a HEA - I know I will not enjoy reading it and I HATE giving bad reviews.
So, you re telling me your book has a HEA? In which case it will be off this shelf in a second. :)
Sorry my book is not-for-you :( Is it the prospect of reading something sad? there is an HAE :p Just curious.
