My Favorite Movies (The Prologue)
There are people who like lists and people who don’t. I think lists serve a purpose but I also believe that there are some who assume lists are the be all and end all to their personal opinions; like there’s no room for movement. But the truth is, things change. We get older and we […]

You Should Stay in New York City – A Letter
You Should Stay in New York City – A Letter. Reblogged! I don’t live in New York but my heart does. All it takes is a photo of the city – anywhere in the city – to get me all clumsy in the head. I don’t live in New York but I write about it. […]

The Falling – Chapter Fourteen
CHAPTER FOURTEEN: The Mercury Agency – Midtown Juliana Florentine could have been a model. She was gorgeous; men couldn’t walk straight around her. And she knew it.
