“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?”

“Is it love, obsession, infatuation? You don't know. You think of a strange and beautiful word you read about once, Limerance, a psychological term, meaning an obsessive love, a state that's almost like a drug. Need like a wolf paces the perimeter of your world, back and forth, back and forth, never letting up. ...You're appalled by the new appetites within you, kicking their feet and clawing to get out.”

As the title suggests, it’s birthday month. I’m an Aires through and through…adventurous, independent, passionate, okay maybe also impulsive and stubborn. I know a lot of people love audiobooks and my wonderful distributor has given me 30 codes of my audiobook, The River and the Ravages, to pass on to my peeps like YOU!.
