These Extraordinary Thorns
Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales, and for a long time the Disney animated movie was my favorite version.

Fan Art Contest?!!!
I told my Facebook friends/fans that if my post about the idea of running a fan art contest for my novella "That Prince Guy" received 20 likes, I'd run it.

At the beginning of the year I worked out a self-help process that helped me work through my depression enough to get myself out of bed or off the couch and start doing things again.
