Shout-out for awesome customer service to Wallums.com
I love businesses that obviously love their customers, and I’m thrilled to say that I discovered one just like that recently in Wallums – a company that makes these awesome vinyl stickers that go on your walls.
I went a little crazy buying some recently, including one for my office. It’s one of my absolute favorite poems by Shel Silverstein. I don’t know the title, but I think it’s “If you are a dreamer,” and of the lines includes the phrase “flax golden tales to spin.”
It arrived and I hung it on the bright yellow wall of my office just opposite the doors so that everyone who comes in can see it. And they did. Including the twelve year old friend of one of my daughters about two weeks ago (after it had been hanging there for months and months).
Only this time, she saw that it didn’t say “flax golden,” but instead said “flax olden.”
Um, okay.
I guess that could make sense.
Sort of.
Except it really doesn’t. And it also left a gap between flax and olden. And besides, I really wanted my missing “g,” which, I think, fell behind a bookshelf and got vacuumed when I did some rearranging.
So I contacted the company. ”Can I buy the missing G,” I asked. And low and behold, they sent it to me for free! And speedily, too. (They actually sent me “golden” so I now have an O, L, D, E and an N in reserve for those alphabetical emergencies.
So thank you to Wallums! I appreciate the awesome customer service!

Let Evan Black heat up your morning – it’s #MostWantedMonday
Welcome to another #MostWantedMonday excerpt as we countdown to the January 7 release of Wanted by J. Kenner, book one in the Most Wanted series of erotic romances that wilI be followed by Heated in May and Ignited in September!
Enjoy!
“Good girl,” he said, then brushed the gentlest of kisses over my lips. “And I think we’ve found what you want,” he added, closing his hands over mine.
I drew in a shuddering breath, because he was right. He had me trapped—maybe not by reality, but by the promise of my own obedience. The result was the same. I was desperately, hopelessly turned on.
“You like this,” he said. “You’re open to me—open to the world. Down and dirty with me in an alley where anything could happen.” Once again, he leaned in to whisper. Once again, I was struck by how well he knew me. “This excites you, doesn’t it? Not knowing where we’re going next. What’s going to happen. Who might turn that corner. Not knowing if I’m going to kiss you or fuck you.” He paused, and his next words made me moan aloud. “I’ll give you a hint, Angie. I’m going to do both.”
I hadn’t noticed when he’d removed one of his hands from where he gripped mine, but I noticed now that he was trailing his fingers up my thigh, slowly lifting the hem of my skirt as his hand rose higher and higher.
I whimpered a little, but the hand on mine held fast, and he shook his head. One tiny motion. No.
I closed my eyes and surrendered to both the unspoken command and to my own overpowering need to revel in the exhilaration of this moment. He had me pinned against the wall, held in place by his large hand cupped around my wrists. His body was so close to mine I could feel his heat. And his hand was rising higher and higher toward my now-soaked panties, my throbbing clit, and my cunt that was slick with arousal.
Every scrap of reason inside me was screaming that I needed to open my eyes and tell him no. That I needed to walk away. That this was a bad idea and that I knew better and hadn’t I told myself over and over that it was a bad idea to let myself go wild? That nothing good ever came of it.
That I would regret it in the morning.
But I didn’t regret it then. Not one little bit.
