I broke down and bought the Artyarns Taj Mahal Shawl kit. Yes, I know. Expensive as hell. But it is so pretty. Meanwhile I am working on Lilli Pilli wrap in Tosh Merino light. My white isn’t quite as white as I wanted it to be, but I think it will be pretty. I’m tempted

Hugh’s noncoms :)
Noncom stands for non commissioned officer. Basically, a sergeant. Read at your own risk. PS. We named the horse Bucky for you. 🙂 “Was that vampire from the People?” Sam asked. “Golden Legion,” Stoyan said. “Is that like the People?” “The necromancers who work for Roland call themselves the People,” Stoyan explained. “They call

Shawl

Flowers on a Texas Trail
So pretty… A few lines from work in progress: The glittering universe engulfed them. The ship tore through it and emerged into the normal space. A beautiful planet hung in the space in front of them, a green and blue jewel, the turquoise veil of atmosphere glowing gently. It wasn’t Earth, but it could’ve been

Rogan POV from Burn For Me
Hey guys, so we know that the re-release of Burn For Me was supposed to include extra goodies but since the cover remains the same except for a different font and they chose not to add any bonus material for various reasons and due to our time constraints, this is our small way of making

Rerelease of Burn For Me
We’ve announced this before, but just in case someone missed it. When Avon pushed our books back, we thought they would redesign the cover for BFM rerelease. They didn’t.
