More Vacation Tidbits
I’m not doing a great job of taking pictures, but we are busy over here in Hampton. We went to Busch Gardens and got our fill of roller coasters.

Random thoughts of an Accidental Author: Review: The Time Travel Journals: Shipbuilder.
A big Thank You to Joan Szechtman for this wonderful review of Shipbuilder. Joan is the author of two fascinating books about Richard III, stories that bring the controversial king into the 21st century where he gets a chance to tell historians what really happened in the 15th century.
Check back here soon, for an interview with Joan. She has some great ideas about time travel!

Once again, the ugly head of ignorance and bull-shit has raised up to tell a woman that she should not behave like a woman!
