Revise-o-rama…

Misha rocks! and other random tales
I just incorporated Misha's comments into "Women's Work." Misha rocks. 🙂 In other news, I think my Palm III is dead. Yes, I know I always say that, but this time I mean it. Switching it on produces a flashing effect followed by a black screen of death. Resetting...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page.

To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
