Heart of the Raven by J.C. Wilder
Sold into slavery to an Overseer of the Realm, Dani is determined to win her freedom and make sure her heart is possessed by no man. For Haaken, time is running out. A family curse already condemns him to the form of the Raven and when he can find the one woman meant for him, only then will he be free. Too bad for both of them that this woman is determined to belong to no one.
Fly With A Dragon by Rosemary Laurey
A virgin sacrifice, a not-so ravening dragon and a happy ever after. Selected as the virgin sacrifice to the ravening dragon, Myfanwy awaits as Arragh, the fiery Dragon of Calder Bala, approaches across the sacred grove. But Arragh comes not to destroy. Instead he carries Myfanwy off to his domain in the far mountains, and a fate far, far better than death.

So Amazon has this amazing ebook reader called the Kindle. The retail is about 360.00 – quite a bit to pay in these financially strapped times. Now Amazon is well known for allowing readers / businesses to sell their used products on their website. Keep in mind that when you sell or buy a book via their used book system, the author receives nothing for the sale.
So where is the “Sell Yours Here’ button for the Kindle?
It doesn’t exist. You can’t sell your used Kindle via Amazon.
What is the bottom line? Amazon is more than willing to cheat authors out of royalty money, but they aren’t willing to take one for the team.
Surprised? I didn’t think so.

Don’t you just love it when people say one thing but mean something completely different? It’s like people want you to GUESS what they really mean. What’s up with that? IMO, this is most rampant among women because they don’t want to be perceived as confrontational or…dare we say…rude?
Below are some of my interpretations for a range of platitudes that you could hear on any given day.
When you see a long lost friend and they tell you…’Wow, you look great…” = “Damn bitch, couldn’t you have gotten fat or something?”
“No, those pants don’t make your butt look fat…” = “Your butt is what makes you look fat, not the pants.” (Besides, do we really want to hear the truth? I don’t think so…because if you have to ask, you already know your butt looks big)
“Are you going to eat that?” = “I’m so hungry, I should give up my carrot and celery sticks and have something GOOD for a change.”
“Did you see that dress? She looks like a skank…” = “I’m feeling really crappy about myself so its much easier to beat up on someone who will never know I’m talking trash about them…” or “I’m jealous because I know these pants make my butt look fat.”
