I have a Mardi Gras themed book wallpaper! No, I’m not going to Mardi Gras, and I don’t celebrate it. Why do you ask? Guess I’ll just use it to shout out our website.

book review: The World War 1 Triva Book, by Bill O'Neill
I wanted to get away from all the anger and destruction going on in the world today, so I went looking for some light, fun reading. I chose World War 1. Nobody ever claimed I make all the best choices.

I've already worked into my novel-in-progress three atrocious puns, three references to The Wizard of Oz, two more to Harry Potter, two horses, and ... well, just one dog, but he's an unusually smart dog.
