Heartbreaking to wake up to news of mass shooting in Australia and then be reminded today is the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.

Hug your loved ones closer. Be the light.

I understand not everyone can or has time to leave a review with Amazon, GoodReads, B&N, etc., so I'm asking for a teal dragon. 😉🐲
PS A recommendation to a friend or family member is also awesome. Thanks.

Wanna get away? Books are cheaper than airfare...and you can wear your PJs and no one cares.
From life in China, a runaway adoptee, and tracking down Bigfoot, there's something for you and a friend or two.

The name freaked me out. I couldn't even take the free sample. In my head, I just kept hearing ... Soylent Green is people.
In 2013, Soylent became symbolic of the Bay Area’s rising tech scene and the brutal gentrification that followed. Within the past several years, though, the company has faced multimillion-dollar losses and a revolving door of C-suites.
