Welcome to my first ever guest on this blog, H.B. Pattskyn!
Look, everybody, I'm having a guest, like a real blogger! :)
I'm extremely happy to welcome H.B. Pattskyn as my very first guest blogger. We met a few years ago at Dragon*con, and even though she's cut her hair, she still looks very much like a sexy mermaid.
Her latest book was released just last Friday. It features a character who speaks Russian, so she's going to tell us a bit about the differences between Russian and English letters/writing. Anyone else old enough to remember Soviet athlete...

Windmills!
It's embarrassing that what I knew about the Netherlands at my current age is the same as what I knew about Holland when I was four: wooden shoes and windmills.
I didn't even try on wooden shoes when we were there, but we did go to Kinderdijk, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. I found out about it on a google search, to see if there were any actual windmills still in the Netherlands. Googlemaps said it was about 1.5 hours from Rotterdam by bike, so I thought we could easily do that. Just...

Rotterdam photos -- July 2013
It's been awhile since I've posted here, been busy with edits to my first ever published novella, but I'm going to host H.B. Pattskyn next week, so I've got to drum up readers! A-rat-a-tat-tat.....
Okay, Rotterdam. One of the largest ports in the world, if not the largest. Did you know that the "dam" in Amsterdam and Rotterdam means an actual dam? That's where each of those cities started, when dams were built.
So, massive port, hundreds of years old, center of maritime history/activity for Eu...

some more vacation photos -- Amsterdam
We went from Germany to Amsterdam, this time to spend about a week in the Netherlands. Here are some photos from Amsterdam.
quintessential Amsterdam -- tall, skinny row houses, flower market, canal, bicycles
wall art
One of the flower market shops. They have a few bulbs that have been treated and cleared to take into the US (and a few other countries) but not the bright blue (see below) that I wanted. :(
Cannabis starter kit. Can I just say that Amsterdam seems a couple of centuries ahead of eve...

Some vacation photos -- Munich, June 23-28
So, some vacation photos. DH has been teaching a class every other year or so just south of Munich. Can I just say that Bavaria is not a great vacation destination for vegetarians who don't like beer?
The vegetarian option at the hotel restaurant. Not that I'm complaining about it -- a baked potato swimming in sour cream and deliciously steamed vegetables heavily loaded with Parmesan cheese. What's not to like? For more meat, try doner (gyros), sold at stands and storefronts all ove...

LHNB story "The Idiots' Tango" now downloadable!
My free read for Love Has No Boundaries is now available for download! Or you can read it on the site.
You must be a member of the Goodreads' M/M romance group to access all the LHNB stories, including mine, and to join the group you must be at least 18.
They also have story collections from the same event in 2011 and 2012. If you've ever wanted to peruse hundreds of free M/M romances, here's your chance! This is the first year I've participated, though.

News, everyone!
I've decided to take a page from Rhys Ford's book and not wait until there's some huge occurrence to make a blog post. Although there HAVE been some huge occurrences:
1. We took another trip to Germany for DH to teach a class, but afterwards, we went to the Netherlands for a week. Photos will be upcoming.
2. The Supreme Court rejected Prop 8 and struck down part of DOMA. I'm still trying to get the details, because this is huge. So now I have a date to include in a free read, "Married Filing Jo...
