Mood Stripes 068: Uncomfortable
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s still adjusting. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 68: Uncomfortable
Neither brother seemed in a hurry to go, so Kagome continued weaving flower stems with Kohaku. She chatted about Souta’s helpful streak, and Inuyasha quizzed her about cup ramen flavors. Normal stuff.
All the while, Sesshoumaru shif...

Blurb-My-Book Challenge
Let’s do something fun. All this week, leading up to the release of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal on Monday, October 22, I’m running what may be the silliest challenge ever. You know what a book blurb is, right? It’s a line or two of praise that appears on a book cover, usually by someone with a claim to fame. I’m inviting you to blurb Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox.

Hisoka Mug
I am working on packing labels today, under the oversight of a mug I found last weekend, which I immediately dubbed my Hisoka mug. Mint tea may happen. Serenity shall abound.
