Banned Book Week
This week is Banned Book Week!

It was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries. More than a thousand books have been challenged since 1982. The challenges have occurred in every state and in hundreds of communities.
In support of banned book week, you might want to read my vampire novels, The Dancing Valkyrie… Continue

Farewell
And I’m prone to trusting too much….
For I come from a world I remember well…
A world connected by such.
Forgive me my social dumbness
Because I sometimes go too deep….

In that next world where we sleep.
You wanted that woman who impressed you…
To the point of feeling awe….
She could take you right inside,
Show you what you’re living for.
Her voice is… Continue

The Presidents Speech To School Kids.
