Long Weekend

In the background is the A-shape of a dormant volcano; 3) A walking/cycling pathway bordered by tall trees, with green grass on either side.

How was your weekend? 

We had a long weekend in New Zealand, and I spent most of my time tidying the garden and splitting my dahlia tubers to share. 

Ashwini and I also went for a lovely walk with a very good friend through Cornwall Park - an enormous and sprawling green space in the city complete with a herd of cows, and flocks of sheep.

Alpha Night

Alt text - excerpt from Chapter 19, Psy-Changeling Trinity #4 Alpha Night. Selenka Durev: BlackEdge Alpha, 5'11", brown-eyed, and sexy enough to fry your brains. Our sources tell us that she once went head-to-head with a bear in a bad temper and shredded the bear so badly that he's still growing back his fur. Is it any surprise that she's a bad*ss who holds territory in an area that houses both a bear clan and Kaleb Krychek?

Our spies in BlackEdge also inform us that being one of Selenka's wolves is a badge they wear with pride. "Our alpha is our claws and she is our heart. She know how to love with a ferociousness that encompasses us all—but she won't brlink at tearing our enemies to bleeding, whimpering shreds. Don't mess with BlackEdge unless you want to end up missing a body part or five." —From the "Scary but Sexy" column in the December 2082 issue of Wild Woman magazine: "Skin Privileges, Style & Primal Sophistication"
