  So, once upon a time, I wrote this short story about a paleontologist and a painter. It was a bit too…racy for me to ever put on this blog, but I loved it with all the love of a mother for a wild child who tells inappropriate jokes.

I promised some of my Twitter peeps a new short, and I rarely lie. Well, sometimes. When it’s important. Or useful. Or I’m writing. 😉  I considered splitting this into three parts due to its size, but I figured that’d just make some of you pissy…and I didn’t want that.

If you don’t already “like” me on Facebook…I share excerpts on there from whatever I’m working on or what I have out, so go do that already. But no pressure. Well, some pressure. Also, I keep you up-to-date on my Mountain Dew consumption and the exciting drama of being a writer. (I’ve currently got a wiki article open for the […]

Yay! A teaser!!! From On His List!   Remy marked up the list she was given…which nearly broke Owen’s brain, so she’s kept it tucked away so it doesn’t bother him.
