1862: When the Tooth Fairy went to war for #NationalToothFairyDay

The Tooth Fairy took on a new role during the Civil War. She fought long and hard to help the soldiers keep their teeth, not take them. If a soldier had a toothbrush, it was homemade.

Brushes didn’t show up as commercially made until 1885. Most used a ‘chewing stick’ made from a twig from a tree or bush.

Chomping on hardtack didn’t help. Called tooth-dullers by the soldiers, they tried to soften

Jina Bacarr answered Christine Sherwood's question: Is sisters of war a series or stand alone novel please I’m about to start reading it? Thanks HI, Christine, I see your second question -- Sisters At War is book 1, so for the entire story of the Beaufort Sisters, I'm writing book 2. Sisters of the Resistance. The story is about a sensitive subject -- sexual violence against women in wartime -- See Full Answer

Quotes by Jina Bacarr (?)

“Katie shook her head in dismay. “I thought being poor was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.”

“No, Katie,” the countess said in a clear voice. “The worst thing is to be in love with one man and have to marry another.”

—Katie O'Reilly to the Countess of Marbury”

Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for tho Our Mission Statement : Just what is WRR 2013? That’s quite simple to answer. It stands for ‘Writers, Romance, & Rainbows – A GBLT book fair for those in the GBLT Romance genre’. The explanation for that, however, is a bit more extensive. With all the different cons and such happening through the year, only a few were geared toward those in the GBLT romance genre. Not surprising since this genre is still up and coming. It has made great strides, but sadly, still not as popular as the het romances as far as being mainstream goes. It hasn’t stopped us though. The books are still getting out there and the authors are still writing them. Unfortunately, these cons can only allow so many authors to attend. Then there is the price of registration. Flights, hotels, and other miscellany are added as well. All totaled up, attending one of these events can set an author back thousands. And for a newbie or even a mid-author, sometimes that price is just too much to pay. Especially if you’re relegated to a lesser role than what you expected. And what of the other’s that are involved in the writing process? The pubs, editors, cover artists, photographers, reviewers, readers, and fans? What about them? Don’t they have a right to be a part of these events as well? So far, these events are for the pubs, authors, fans, and readers. But what if there was an event that could encompass everyone involved in the writing process? That could bring all these people under one roof to talk, meet, promo, and sell their work? That question had plagued Deborah and I for many months. Both of us had attended events, but none were geared for everyone. Then the wonderful guys at Bent-con invited us to share our media with their media in a conflagration of GBLT fireworks. Both of us jumped at the chance. What better place to have everyone involved in the writing process sharing knowledge, disparate experience, and their wares to those who will appreciate it. It was a win/win for everyone. ...more

You've got to check out this video from Cosmo Red-Hot Reads from Harlequin. It's sexy and hot -- http://wp.me/p2DHSo-3g

I'm so excited to be a part of this new series with my October 2013 novella called "Naked Sushi."

Pepper O'Malley, a spy wannabe teams up with an FBI hottie to take down her ex-sleazy boss. Where does the sushi come in? Pepper goes undercover as a live sushi model wearing nothing but yellow pom-pom chrysanthemums and a banana leaf.

And yes, the hero eats sushi off her body. It's Cosmo-li-cious!
