Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

As part of a promotion for one of our books, Drollerie Press is sponsoring Pagan Singles, a dating/friends/group site that allows people to post dating personals. I'm hoping that some of you merry band of people will go sign up and create a profile and a post, poke around, try to break it (but not too hard), and let me know what it's missing or what it ought to do differently.
You can read about the book, which will be published electronically this week, at [link]

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A friend of mine is trying for a Intuit grant for her business. She makes custom clothing and I've got some of her stuff. Her current idea is a recycled material coffee sleeve--which is both adorable and useful. Her contest entry is here. If you read it and like it, she could use the votes.
Her website is here and you can see her coffee sleeves (and buy if you like!)
Thanks!
