Of the cute. Seriously. I have to write. This distracted me.

Choi Dong Wook… also known as Se7en.

 

Maybe even the year. Seriously. WTF? But it’s kind of catchy.

Happy happy happy happy DEATH!

I swear, I’ll get off the whole Kilt thing in a bit. But here… a couple more.

 

I adore watching this boy on the screen. Posted these to FB and realized I should probably post them here too. So… yeah…. here you go.

City Hunter above. Noms below.

Here. Keep busy.

You know I am by nature, a creature of habits. I hate visual change. And I’m also lazy. I keep looking at this blog and saying… I need to BRAND it. I’ve been messing with it all day and right now, I’m all… I’ve a book to write. Who gives a shit what this place looks like.

Pretty much how I feel about dusting too.

Keep yourselves busy.

Not news: I had a giveaway on Goodreads. News: A woman named Samantha Martin won a copy of Sinner’s Gin. Better News: She enters giveways on Goodreads are for the library. In her email tome she writes: …All the books I win, buy, etc I add to our library collection. Would you mind if after I read Sinner’s Gin if I add it to our collection?

Dear Samantha, I not only do not mind, I want to reach out to the other authors and readers I come into contact with and ask if they’re willing to ship Walnut Cove a book or two.

Now Samantha hasn’t asked for this. No, I’m being intrusive and am asking for Walnut Cove donations by myself. For you see, libraries are where I started this journey into books. A very small library in He‘eia as a matter of fact.

There wasn’t money for books and my family wasn’t one that valued reading. I caught a lot of shit for it from certain members whom I no longer speak to but there was something inside of me that was resolved to read, damn it. And ah, the He‘eia library was where I started.

Free Books! Dear fucking Gods, it was like nirvana and an ice cream store rolled up in one. I was SIX and they let me have BOOKS! By the way, I just Googled the route I took and found out it was almost a mile and a half from my house to the library. My parents should have been shot for letting me walk that far and back. But enough about their parenting skills. *shakes head*

The gist of this is LIBRARY!

So when I read Samantha’s email asking me if I minded having Sinner’s Gin added to the ranks of the Walnut Cove Library, I was touched and more importantly, determined she’d have more than my measly book.

Now comes the begging.

I am asking anyone…author or reader… to please send Walnut Cove a new or good-as-new book or two. Doesn’t have to be a lot. And your shipping IS tax deductible as a charitable contribution in the US. She says there is a healthy GLBT readership there and a few YA probably wouldn’t go bad on the shelves there either. Heck, if you’ve got a few bucks in Amazon, use them for cheap books and send those off.

No matter. Whatever you write or read and can spare, please send it off to them. Pass the word around if you can. Anything would be nice.

I’m going to say thank you now for that kid who walks to that library and reads a book that is financially out of reach for his/her family. Because I was that kid and I’m sure more than a few of you were too.

I’d love for Samantha to get more books than she will know what to do with but hey, I’m realistic. If she gets five or ten, that will rock. I’ll be sending her mine and a few others.

She does not know I’ve asked for this. Drop her a note with your books and tell her they are for the Cove or whatever you like. Just say hello and a big thank you for the people working in the small spot of heaven in NC.

Thanks, guys.
