Bewildering question

But the real question is why do most people consider it a vegetable?

Tour of Clemson

I must say Clemson has a lot of history on it's campus. A beautiful place to visit even if you don't plan on attending school there. The home of John C. Calhoun sits on the campus and is registered as a National Historic Landmark.

Calhoun's son-in-law Thomas Green Clemson later willed the land to the state of South Carolina for a place for higher education.

New Cover for Mating Rituals

Isn't my new cover wonderful?

Mating Rituals is one of the first stories I wrote and I'm very excited about the fabulous job Mia did for my cover.

Don't have a date yet when it will be released but it is always fun to see the cover.

What an incredible lady, if I could only be like her.
