Speaking of Twilight . . .
Ben Bella Books emailed me to say that my Twilight essay from the book A NEW DAWN is up on their website this week. That means you can read what I have to think about it for FREE! (Of course…Too funny not to share
I laughed so hard when I watched this. I’m sure a lot of husbands can relate!My Fair Godmother, German style
