LKF #2 - Why Menage?

Little Known Fact #2 - Why Menage?The original draft of ERIS (Eternal Truths, Book 1) was a typical Mainstream Romance between Lucien and Eris with Ranulf as a close friend to the couple in a completely platonic way.

LKF #1 - Mainstream or Erotic?

Little Known Fact #1 - Mainstream or Erotic?
ERIS (Eternal Truths, Book 1) is a Siren Publishing Menage Amour title, which is an Erotic Romance imprint. However the front cover clearly states "Mainstream." Those who have not read ERIS might be a little confused as to how it is categorized -- whether it is Mainstream Romance or Erotic Romance.

IMRR Reviews ERIS

IMRR (Interracial Multicultural Romance Readers) gives ERIS 5 out of 5 stars.

"...a perfectly plotted, deliciously complex story that delves deeply into how far a person will go for forgiveness, reconciliation and above all, love. Ms. Bagby smoothly melds together the past with the present while slickly adding in an element of mythology in such a way that's guaranteed to keep readers on the edge

Movie Review: Transformers Dark of the Moon

Transformers: Dark of the Moon


Basic Premise
A secret long kept about man's real reason for racing to the moon is now found out. Sam and the Autobots must uncover and stop a new Decepticon plot that threatens Earth and all mankind.


End of Credits
There's something part way into the credits. I couldn't stay until the very end of the credits, so I don't know if something is there as well.

Visiting NYC

On this day, 29 June 2011, I am visiting NYC for 24hrs so I can ghost the RWA Nationals in the Marriott Marquis. I will be attending the NRCA award ceremony as well as peeking in on the Samhain breakfast. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

I'm more inclined to stay in one spot and hope I don't get lost just doing that. This is the BIGGEST flippin' hotel I have ever seen in my entire life
