The name of the book is a bit misleading because they only lightly touch on the subject of skinwalkers but that hasn’t stopped me taking any spare moment I can to read. There’s a whole [...]

I’m not sure what’s happening to our weekends but they seem to be flying by and taking all of our plans with them. We start out with these great ideas of what to do and then little niggley things crop up, our plans take a detour and we find out it’s Monday already. Oh, well. Suppose [...]
