Help me welcome new face Frances Fox on the blog today. And when I say new, I mean it’s a new pen name of my dear friend A.L. Lester, so you can be assured the writing will be excellent!

Out Now: Meeting Lucky

Today’s the day Lucky and Björn’s story is released into the wild. Go forth and buy it!

Björn erected walls around his heart a long time ago, but Lucky is passion...
