“Falling Skies” back for season 3
You know that kid in the candy store? The one who’s excited beyond belief, most likely on the sugar high to end all freaking sugar highs, and bouncing off the walls like a super-bouncy small rubber ball. You know that kid? Good … because that’s how I am right now. Continue Reading
Grab your hammer! We’re building an author platform
When you say the phrase “author platform” it conjures up images of an earnest writer perched high atop a teetering wooden rostrum, fingers perched above typewriter keys, their face a knot of perspiring concentration.
