Sensual Poison by Rachel Carrington

Genre: Mystery/Suspense

Length: Novel

About the book:

In the beautiful, historic city of Charleston, South Carolina, someone is giving new meaning to the phrase "cheaters never win." And the police only know what she wants them to know. Her method of attack: injected snake venom. She chooses her victims from random clubs around the city, and so far, no one has been able to pinpoint her next arena of attack. Targeting married men eager to cheat on their wives, she gives them the ride of their lives and never leaves a trace of evidence. To the detectives trying to find her, she’s invisible.

Detective Jaden McKoy is tired of the pile-up of bodies the killer's leaving behind, but what makes his job tougher is the precinct commander. She’s beautiful and stubborn with great legs and a body he can’t stop thinking about. It’d be a hell of a lot easier if he didn’t know what that body looked like underneath the lieutenant’s crisp exterior.

Lieutenant Kennedy Biltmore would have been perfectly happy if she hadn't gotten transferred to Jaden's precinct, especially considering her transfer made her his boss. And she wasn't supposed to sleep with a subordinate. Too bad they'd already crossed that line, and undoubtedly would cross it again. And again.

When the killer takes out Jaden's best friend and partner, Jaden sets himself up to be her next target. The gamble pays off, and the killer walks right into the trap. Coming face to face with the woman who murdered his partner is difficult enough, but standing in the same room with her and not pulling the trigger, takes everything Jaden had inside him. In the end, it's his love for Kennedy that keeps him centered, sane.

With the threat over, Jaden and Kennedy find themselves alone, facing the fallout from the sex that should never have happened again and the feelings that should have never been given room to grow. And in the aftermath, both realize some things are just beyond their control . . . like love.

Decadent Deceptions - Keta Diablo

Snippet of Review from That’s What I’m Talking About Reviews

http://twimom227.blogspot.com/

My Rating: 4.5 Stars!

The intense sexual attraction between Olivia and Morgan kept me glued to this delightful tale. Their wicked games engrossed my life – kept me up until all hours reading. The societal expectations of the times had me worried that they would be discovered as they toyed with and indulged in each other, drawing out their unspoken lust. The knowledge that there was a murderer in the mix had my heart racing. In short: this book had me hooked. This book is a wonderful blend of mystery, action, humor and HOT sex! I did not want the tale to end.

Genre: {M/M} Paranormal

Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx

Rumors have drawn Craven and Anthony to Beresford Hall. The two men have discovered their desire for same sex encounters and if the rumors are true, Beresford Hall is sometimes used as a den of iniquity.

The young spies aren’t savvy enough to evade detection or capture. They will soon have to answer for their crimes within the walls of the infamous hall.

Keta Diablo knows how to make debauchery and romance mix perfectly as demonstrated in her latest release, Magnolia Heat. Craven and Anthony haven’t had many bedfellows and that naïveté heightens their experience. While some scenes do depict the men experiencing forced seduction, it was never brutal and in fact, awakened both of their fantasies, as well as provided an opportunity to wallow in the depths of carnal delight.

The acts weren’t regretted, but the possibility of never experiencing the attraction again seemed to linger with Dominic and Craven. Dominic, the Lord of the Manor, is an imposing figure and skillful in the art of seduction. His mastery of the situation and Craven promised for a night neither man would forget.

The setting was perfect for this story and created an abundance of emotions ranging from arousal to trepidation. Those who read BDSM will enjoy Magnolia Heat.

Wyntress Nyght's Supernatural Crack

Exes & Hexes by C. H. Scarlett

Genre: Paranormal

Length: Novel

About the book:

"Good evening my delicious little darklings of darkness. Wyntress Nyght, here, serving up your forbidden dose of supernatural crack. So hook up your IVs, roll up the psychic and toke her, or offer up your shot glass for some ectoplasmic delight. For I have the phantasmal kick you have all been jonzing for. No DTs here, my darklings, only the monster of all dragons for you to chase . . . me! Now, for those readers who are new to my witch-board of communications, allow me to sinfully boast a little about the place I haunt. It’s the Other World, the Underworld, or a label I am rather fond of and prefer, Hell."

*Gasps* Did she say Hell?

That she did, so flip a page and you’ll realize what a hilarious but darkly adventurous thrill ride Hell can be. And who knew it would have all started with an ex-Fanger and the kidnapping of his new coffin screamer. Toss in a lusty Were, a mischievous Zombie, a Dominion of Chaos, some too-damn-sexy Demons, a mysteriously malicious and hidden plot, plus whatever other zany characters of Hell pop up, and we have the reasons why there’s never a boring moment in the death of Wyntress Nyght!

Now, grab a dry pair of knickers just in case yours get moist from laughing, and open the book already. Wyntress hates to be left waiting by the grave!

HAPPILY EVER AFTER REVIEWS

FIVE STARS AND RECOMMENDED READ

BUY HERE: NOBLE ROMANCE

Loved, loved, loved this book! Did I say I loved this book? I’m in awe of Keta Diablo’s gifted writing ability. She paints such vivid pictures with her words, and takes us into a beautiful romance with no lulls or heavy back story. The 19th century time period was given justice in Decadent Deceptions and whisked me away to another world with the imagery, setting, and brilliant dialogue between characters.

Olivia has loved Morgan as long as she can remember, but refuses to admit it. She’s hot headed and stubborn…and a character I adored. In fact, I fell in love with the entire cast of characters, that became so real as I read. From Olivia’s brother, and sister-in-law, to the irresistible Morgan, each character brought a unique spice to the story.

Morgan, the brooding, distant love interest was more than delectable! He was a mixture of raw sensuality, and erotic domination. You can’t help but fall in love with him. The sexual tension, and sex itself was hot! We get a full sampling in this tasteful erotic tale.

Decadent Deceptions is a historical romance that follows Olivia’s journey to capture the attention of Morgan. Her path leads her into a brothel in attempts to arouse jealousy, and eventually into the sights of a psychopath killer.

By the end of this book, I was teary eyed from the romance that grew and blossomed throughout the book. The mystery woven within the pages adds the perfect amount of tension.

If you love historical romance, or wanted to start with a great one…run and buy Keta Diablo’s Decadent Deceptions. You won’t be disappointed. I will be thinking about this book for a long time to come, and look forward to more work by this exceptional author.

Reviewer: Jillian Carroll, Date: 05/21/2010

Rahda is running late for her Friday night love-fest with Gabrielle. The anticipation is nearly unbearable, for only Gabrielle can satisfy her intense craving for the whip....and the hunger for her exquisite touch.

Rahda’s consuming craving and passion for Gabrielle’s touch makes this a scorching short story of the preoccupation preceding fulfillment. I love reading stories from a submissive’s point of view, they’re always filled with desire, need and if the author writes it well, respect. Cait Braxton does a very good job of both, as well as building and pacing the story to its satisfying conclusion. Now I wish she’d write about the mysterious dominant, Gabrielle, for I see great promise in another wild and erotic tale!

ECHOES Of Possibilities
With stories by A. B. Gayle, DC Juris, Stevie Carroll, & Jenna Byrnes
Genre: Sci-Fi
Length: Anthology

About the Book:

The Monitors by Stevie Carroll

Stuart is a monitor: a human back-up to the computer controls on a deep space colony transport. Working alone for months at a time, with long periods between shifts spent in cryogenic stasis, his contact with other people is limited to the change-over of shifts, and brief stays on distant planets between jobs. Born blind into a universe where genetic 'abnormalities' are screened out at conception, Stuart has come to see himself as superior to the 'normals' in some respects, but lacking in others that have nothing to do with sight. He dreams of an academic research post, a family and a permanent home, always wondering what woman will love 'a guy like him'.

Claire, deaf since a childhood illness, has broken away from her overprotective family, and wants to see as much of the universe as possible. Having spotted Stuart from afar before joining the ship's crew, she is delighted when their shifts overlap, and is unafraid to demonstrate her attraction to him. The instantaneous, intense chemistry between them breaks down Stuart's inhibitions about sex on duty—and on a first date, at that—but will Claire willingly put her travel plans aside until he's ready to travel with her?

Fight or Flight by Jenna Byrnes

Robert Mackenzie is running for his life. In 2145 Chicago, the police have bounties on their heads and if caught, are forced to fight to the death in arena-type matches. In a seedy pub, Mac discovers a woman who looks very familiar. Although she denies it, he quickly realizes, she's the one person who's more hunted than anyone else in the civil war-fractured United States. Katherine Garza is wary, stubborn and more beautiful than anyone he's met in ages.

Exhausted from months of hiding and being on the run, Mac knows he doesn't look like anyone Katy could trust. But he might be her only chance as Progressive soldiers dig deep into the trenches in order to wipe out the opposition. Katy's determined to do things her way. Mac is all for that, as long as he's really calling the shots. Together, they must work as a team to stay alive. If they don't kill each other, first.

Star's Embrace by DC Juris

Captain Jacob Meryl has lusted after Maltinian Ambassador Arlite Parvone since he first laid eyes on her, but the timing has never been right. At least, not until now. A late night call for help from Arlite sends Jacob on a mission to investigate a potential slave vessel—and to win Arlite's heart.

Initiation by A.B. Gayle

"Life" has taken a dramatic turn for Cedric, whose incarnation was described in Reversal, a short story in Noble Romance Publishing's anthology, Echoes of the Future. The sex slave cyborg now has a new mistress, Jen.

Jen was different. She was bred to be different: taller, stronger and faster than the majority of her clan. She accepted those differences because without them she could not fulfil her role as warrior and protector. What she found difficult to accept was her inability to satisfy her sexual desires. Her fellow bounty hunters managed to build meaningful, loving relationships. Why couldn't she?

Cedric was also different, but he was constructed to be different. One of a kind. On a desperate mission to learn from the best—the feared warriors of the Anasazi clan—his decision to join their all-female space-faring crew as combat cyborg should mean the secret of his unusual past would be safe. Wouldn't it?

Last Gasp
With stories by Erastes, Chris Smith, Charlie Cochrane, and Jordan Taylor
Genre: Historical
Length: Anthology

About the book:

Tributary by Erastes

It's 1936 and a generation of disaffected youth waits in the space between a war that destroyed many of their friends and family, and a war they know is bound to come. Guy Mason wanders through Italy, bored and restless for reasons he can't even name, and stops at the Hotel Vista, high in the mountains of Lombardy. There, he meets scientist James Calloway and his secretary, Louis Chambers, and it's there that the meandering stream of Guy's life changes course forever.

The White Empire by Chris Smith

Edgar Vaughan sincerely believes that six-thousand miles is enough to give him a fresh start. Escaping in 1838 from the drawing rooms of Belgravia and the constraints of his landed family, he takes up missionary work in the trading post of Hong Kong. On arrival, he finds the region on the cusp of war; the Chinese Emperor has outlawed the importation of opium -- the key link in the trade of the East India Company. Between Edgar's sense of isolation, the sight of the puling opium addicts, and one memorable encounter with a man in a peacock waistcoat, Edgar finds himself embroiled in the very marrow of the British Empire's machinations. He finds himself torn between espousing the expeditious whilst protecting his new acquaintance, and doing what is right and risking the wrath of the British Empire.

Sand by Charlie Cochrane

“Safe upon solid rock the ugly houses stand: Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand.”

People come to Syria for many reasons; tourism, archaeology, or because they need to leave Edwardian England to escape potential disgrace. Andrew Parks is one of those, burying past heartache and scandal among the tombs.

Charles Cusiter has travelled here as well, as chaperone to a friend whose fondness for the opposite sex gets him into too much trouble at home. Out in the desert there aren’t any women to turn Bernard’s head – just the ubiquitous sand.

The desert works its magic on Charles, softening his heart and drawing him towards Andrew. Not even a potentially fatal scorpion sting can overcome the power this strange land exerts.

The Ninth Language by Jordan Taylor

Thousands of outsiders descend on Canada's Yukon Territory during the 1898 gold rush, wreaking havoc on the landscape and the indigenous people who live there. Amid the backdrop of this once pristine land, a man struggling against the destruction of his home and culture finds himself indebted to one of the men causing it. These two strangers discover solace and wholeness where they least expect it: each other.

Zack Banning hasn't had an easy time of it recently. After spending more than fifteen years in the Marines, he's discharged due to a head injury received in combat. With no missions to run or people to save, it's all he can do to get out of bed in the mornings. The pills the doctors have him on to keep his injury-induced delusions at bay don't help the situation.

When he discovers a young man being accosted outside of a bar one night he sees it as a chance to feel the satisfaction of saving someone once again. He just doesn't realize until it's over that the young man came to the bar to warn him that someone is out to kill him. What Eljin tells him is a story so outlandish, Zack begins to wonder if he's having one of his delusions. Because if Eljin's story is true, the entire foundation of everything Zack believes just flew out the window.

Fleeing through the countryside with Eljin, Zack tries to understand everything without telling the man he's nuttier than a fruitcake. But the more time Zack spend with Eljin, the more he wants him until he can't think of ever being separated from the little elf. The only way to save Eljin is to take him back home—through the veil between the two worlds. Arrival on the elf's side of the veil isn't perfect, however. They encounter a war between the elf worlds, the threat of human invasion, and a bias against humans. Zack and Eljin have to keep their wits about them as they try to save their home, their family, and themselves.

Ticket to a Spanking
By Jude Mason

Opening scene

“Oh, there he is,” Julia said to her best friend, Chris, when she spotted her husband’s SUV coming toward the house. “He's late, so he's really in trouble tonight.”

Well-rounded, blonde Chris, who’d been curled up on the couch with her naked legs tucked under her, sat up straight and peered through the living room window. Her head turned and followed the SUV as she tried to get a better look at Ken pulling into the driveway. He rolled to a stop in front of the garage, and a moment later, stepped into the late afternoon sun.

Julia stood in the window and watched him, her thoughts racing. Tall, well over six-feet, and with a swimmer’s build, she thought Ken’s body looked amazing, in or out of his clothes. He bent and retrieved his briefcase from the back seat of the SUV, giving both women a nice view of the tight slacks pulled over his muscular ass. Straightening, he hurried toward the house.

Julia's heart gave a familiar lurch and sped up when he walked past the picture window. Seated across from Chris in her easy chair, Julia smiled. She couldn’t wait to see what was about to happen.

“Do you want me to take off now?” Chris sat forward on the couch and put her coffee cup on the glass-topped table.

“No,” Julia held her hand up and smiled. “You just sit tight; after all, you're the one who found the ticket. Don't you want to see what his punishment is going to be?”

Blushing, the blonde woman replied, “Yes, of course I do.” She settled back, but fidgeted, obviously uncertain, or excited, or both. “You've told me about your arrangement—how you punish Ken, and I've always been curious, but I never thought I’d get to see.”

“Like I said, you're the one who found that speeding ticket. I think it's only right you get to at least see that he gets what he deserves.” Julia scowled. “I can’t believe he didn’t say anything to me—the dumbass.”

“If Ken hadn't loaned us his SUV, I would have never found it.” Chris leaned back against the cushions and tucked her legs under her again. She lifted her coffee cup from the table and took a sip just as Ken walked into the room.

“Hi, Chris. Julia, sorry I'm late.” He dropped his briefcase onto the nearest chair. “Horrible traffic today.” Heading for the kitchen, he didn't seem to notice the scowl on Julia's face, or the smile on Chris'. He shrugged out of his jacket and draped it over the back of a dining room chair on his way through, apparently oblivious to the trouble brewing.

He reached out to push the swinging door leading to the kitchen when Julia said, “Ken, bring me one of the dining room chairs please.” Her voice, softer than velvet, remained as calm as if she’d asked for the time.

Ken froze mid-step. For a moment, that's where he stayed. But then he shuddered and turned to face the women.

“Now?” he croaked, and by the look on his face, he seemed confused. His eyes darted from her to Chris and back again.

“Of course now,” she replied in her much-practiced sweet voice. “And don't forget the wooden spoon.”

Ken blinked and his jaw dropped, but he didn't move for a moment. When he did, he hurried into the kitchen as if someone had lit a fire under him.

The women looked at each other and burst out laughing. When she caught her breath, Chris asked, “Do you think he knows what's going on? Why he's in trouble all of a sudden?”

Still chuckling, Julia shrugged and shook her head. “I don't know, but I bet his mind is going a mile a minute trying to figure it out.”

The kitchen door swung open and Ken walked through with a long wooden spoon in his hand. He grabbed one of the dining room chairs as he came toward them, a glazed look in his eyes.

Julia smiled at his look of confusion.

Without saying a word, he placed the chair in the center of the room facing Julia, stepped around it and handed her the spoon. After taking a step back, he looked at the floor in front of her. He clasped his hands behind his neck and spread his feet a good foot apart. For leaving his shoes on, she'd add an additional stroke or two, if not more.

“Ken,” she began, still smiling. “Do you know why you're here?”

A Christmas for Carol by Angela Nichelle:

Imagine losing the love of your life right before Christmas. It's a nightmare Carol Christine Moore had to face two years ago. Unable to cope with the pain of losing her fiancé so unexpectedly, Carol closes off her heart entirely. She puts all of her time and energy into making the coffee shop she owns with her best friend a success.

She’s the girl who lives in his dreams, but she’s so much more than that. She’s the girl he was supposed to meet, twice. She’s the path he didn’t take, twice. That was forty years ago and you just can’t go back, except in dreams.

But it’s Christmas day. Miracles have been known to happen. Who knows? The third time just might be the charm.

The stubborn young men don’t make Ellie’s job easy and she puts on one hell of a Christmas Rush to cement their bond before her time between this world and the next runs out.

COCKED & FULLY LOADED, a Western Anthology

with stories by G. R. Bretz, Rie McGaha, & Bryl R. Tyne
Genre: Western
Length: Novella

About the book:

Gunmetal Blue by G. R. Bretz:

Meet Blue—an ex-Confederate cavalry officer living off his wits and his guns in Reconstruction era Texas—and Sally—a young woman stuck in a loveless marriage to a man who only married her for her family name. When Sally's stage is attacked by robbers, Blue comes to her rescue. Together, they make their way across the Lone Star state. But when they reach a crossroads, the direction they choose will change the course of their lives forever.

Outlaw by Rie McGaha:

Colt has a bullet in his thigh and his face on a wanted poster, but when he rode into the mountains to lay low for a while, he never expected to see a lone woman swimming naked in the river. Hidden in the tree line, he watches her and as desire grows, he takes matters into his own hands, but even that doesn't assuage his need to touch her.

Cynthia hasn't seen her husband in several months since he left her alone to go into town for supplies, but the man she wakes up to find lying on top of her with his hand over her mouth isn't the man she married. He demands she feed him and suggests if she doesn't, he won't have a problem taking what he really wants whether she consents or not.

As Colt watches her make biscuits and gravy, he finds he isn't just enticed by her body, something about her appeals to him on a deeper level and as the two come to know one another, it's apparent the attraction isn't one-sided.

Tengo Una Pistola by Bryl R. Tyne:

After ten days in the saddle, Chuck just wants a hot meal and hotter bath water. He knows exactly where to find both too—at home, with his lover, Mitch. But what Chuck finds instead is that Mitch has taken in Carmen, one of the town whores...and not only is she sharing Mitch's bed, she's using Chuck's tub. The situation irks Chuck to no end, but not as badly as the images of those wet and soapy feminine thighs that are stuck in his craw and driving him crazy. What the hell is going on? As far as Chuck's concerned, somebody had better start talking and talking soon!

Happy Holidays from Jenna Byrnes!

Last week Rhian was wondering how it got to be December. Well here it is, the 12th, and I'm still wondering. I do finally have a 'plan' for Christmas. I've bought a total of two gifts and feel damned good about that! I actually don't have many to buy this year, my family is taking a trip and we're planning to shop for our own presents while we're there. So I'm not really in the pathetic shape I sound like. *grin* However, if you're expecting a card from me, don't hold your breath.

Top 10 Reasons Why Christmas Trees Are Better Than Men

10. It gets turned on only when you want it turned on.
9. You don't have to put up with a Christmas tree all year.
8. You can throw a Christmas tree out when it wears out.
7. A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you break one of its balls.
6. A Christmas tree has cute balls.
5. A Christmas tree is always happy with its size.
4. A Christmas tree always looks good - even when it's lit.
3. A Christmas tree stays up for 12 days and nights.
2. Even small ones give satisfaction.
1. A Christmas tree is always erect.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ~ Jenna

Jill Morfranna, a sassy redhead from New York, is enjoying a photo shoot in the Scottish Highlands when she stumbles into an alternate realm. Trapped in a frightening world of strange creatures, her life turns upside down when a sinfully handsome shape-shifter kidnaps her. Will she win Dare of Knight Watch’s heart or will he trade her for his sister at the next slave auction?

H. C. Brown has created an alternate reality, with cat shifters, fae, and demons of all kinds. It is a superb world, filled with passion and romance. It is a primitive world, yet there is a civility there as well. Jill is a sassy and smart-alecky young woman, always ready with a quick comeback for Dare’s commentary. Once she realizes she is more or less stuck where she is, she decides to make the best of it. Jill goes into this an innocent, and she trusts Dare to teach her about love and passion. The scenes where Dare initiates Jill into the wonders of sex and desire are hot and well written. The secondary characters are given a real depth as well, making them more than place holders. Dare’s sister, her two mates Tallin and Aric, and the Fae King Nox are all wonderful creations. The world that H. C. Brown has built is one I want to visit again, and meet more new friends along the way. Do Dare and Jill get their happy ever after? Pick up Purr-fect Seduction and find out.

Okay, who stole October and November? Anyone seen them? Cause I certainly haven't!

My life at the moment is just one big blur. *sigh* We're moving. Again. Three years ago my Hubby's company moved us from Sydney to Singapore, well now they're sending us back. Anyone who's moved house will know how hard it can be but I have to say shifting countries is a whole different ballgame!

Man, there are soooo many things you just don't think about. Bank accounts, doctors records, school reports, passports, residency paperwork, quarantine for the animals, the time it takes to ship furniture from one country to another...and the list goes on. And I don't want to even talk about the time-suck factor of the whole event. Or the stress. *pulls hair*

On top of all that we're making this wonderful (hear the sarcasm?) move right before Christmas. The week before to be precise. Whose flippin' idea was that? We have to pack enough in our suitcases to get us through two months without ALL our stuff plus Christmas presents that have been bought. Not to mention all the IMPORTANT paperwork in my office. Good thing the company is sending us business class or there'd be lots of yelling from me.

We've got less than two weeks and all I keep thinking is are we there yet? I know we shouldn't wish our life away but I'd really, really like it to be February now. That's when we get to move back into our house. Before that we'll be living out of those suitcases at my in-laws.

It's a good thing I'll have all that yummy Christmas food as a distraction. Not to mention the many get together's I'll be attending over the Christmas New Year period. I know it's all going to go quickly, just look at October and November but.....ARE WE THERE YET??

Post Turkey Day Blues

2009-11-27T12:25:00.003-05:00

Yesterday I baked and set the table with dishes reserved only for holidays and special occasions. We sat at the table, my husband, youngest son, youngest daughter and her husband, and per tradition, each one told in turn what they were thankful for. Then, in less than half an hour, with the food left in ruins, plates empty, and the wine gone, everyone was back in their places watching TV, playing video games, or sitting outside to smoke while I went about finding enough room in the fridge for leftovers.

Today, I have the post turkey day blues.

I am the mother of twelve, Nana of twenty-five. When I was younger and the Nana of only a handful of grandchildren Thanksgiving meant all of the kids were coming home and there would be a couple of days of insanity, food and drink. And I loved every second of the chaos. Thanksgiving then meant no less than thirty people shouting to be heard over the noise, fighting over who was next in the bathroom, and shrieks of laughter as they ribbed, teased and told jokes about one another.

In the kitchen baking a different goodie for each one, I had grandchildren clamoring around to help me cook. I loved this part of the day when I could set grandchildren around the table with a big bowl in the middle, and as I measured ingredients I handed them off to the grandkids and let them add them to the bowl. Each one had a wooden spoon and all of them stirred, which eventually led to a battle of spoons. Usually we baked Toll House chocolate chip-oatmeal cookies and I didn’t care when half the batter wound up being eaten while they waited on the first batch of cookies to come out of the oven. And so what if they needed baths when we finished in order to get the dough out of their hair and off their hands and faces, Nana’s babies made cookies!

In those days there were no leftovers. By the time everyone had been home for a couple of days most of the food had been consumed, but whatever was left went home with my kids. Then the real clean up began! I remember after the last one had left walking back into the house, sitting down and listening to the silence, which seemed louder than the kids had been. The house in complete disarray, every dish either in the sink or in the dish rack, and every piece of furniture out of place.

I smiled as I thought of each one on my way to the bedroom where I climbed into bed to watch TV. I would get up in the morning and begin the clean up because Christmas was only a month away and I would get to do this all over again.

Over the years all of the kids have moved out, gone to college, married or just moved on with their lives. They live all over the place, Washington, California, Texas, Missouri and a couple are in Oklahoma so my Thanksgivings are much more subdued, although the phone rings constantly as they call to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving and each of them always say, “Mom, do you remember when we were all at home that one time and…”

So today is the day after Thanksgiving and Nana has the post turkey day blues.
