My Crappy Name….

When I was a kid I was constantly called Karla. Karla is a fine name, its just not my name. As I got older and Kayla and Patch were on Days of Our Lives, then I started to get called Kayla. Then Kylie. Then Karly….

Guest Post: Leanne Shirtliffe of Don’t Lick The Minivan…

I’d like to introduce you to Leanne.  She might be the most successful writer I know in real life. I like to stalk celebrities on twitter and I like to stalk Leanne in real life.  Her book  Don’t Lick the Minivan is a must read and…

Book Reviews: Gillian Flynn and Ernest Cline…

Fifty Shades of Grey…

I couldn’t do it. I could not get through it. I have failed to finish Fifty Shades Of Grey. I am a failure. I am sorry to have let down all woman kind. I mean, if anyone was going to read this book, it would be…

The Sisters Brothers….
