Peace Talks I’m not sure where to begin with this. I mean, I could have a build up and talk a bit about where everything began for me. I’m not even sure if I have done that already while looking at other books in the series or in the same …
Riding through a Zoo Day To start off, I dare say that the summer this year is bugging me. I never would have thought this, but winter tends to be better for my allergies than summer and it has nothing to do with pollen. See, it is so humid right …
Dresden’s Dog Men It seems like everything is coming up Harry right now. And if you were to hear that spoken it would sound very strange. It is an allusion to Harry Dresden and the thoughts that I have been working my way through Brief Cases (I mentioned a story …
