I would go insane if I only had one thought. Just so you know, the only reason I password-protected this page on my blog is because it gives away what happens in a few of my stories. The only other password-protected pages […] Read more »

They travel to many places including Niagra Falls, the Whitehouse, and many other well-known places, and solve mysteries. The first about ten books are written by the original […] Read more »

I rate books “LG” when I […] Read more »
