Review of Love and Loyalty by Tere Michaels

Ms. Michaels does it again!  This book features a character we saw briefly in Faith & Fidelity.  Detective Jim Shea doesn't realize how lonely and sterile his life has become until it is invaded by Griffin Drake.

Ms. Michaels has become auto-buy for me.  This story is very well written and the characters are very "real".  There is just enough angst between the main characters to pull at your heart strings.  Griffin also does some soul searching that as a reader had me evaluating my own ethics. 

The love scenes between the main characters are very tasteful with just enough detail to move the book along. We also get to "hear" Jim's conversations with Matt (from Faith & Fidelity) so we get a nice glimpse into the lives of old friends. 

I really liked this book and highly recommend it to anyone who likes a great story to go along with their m/m action.

A very funny take on Facebook. I particularly like Ben Franklin's response to John Hancock.

This article puts a damper on the theory that my husband has been working on. I doubt that it will deter his research regarding super-civilizations.
I just think it is interesting that the mass extinction of 13,000 years ago is slowly getting more press than the extinction from the K-T boundary.

This is too cool! I like the analogy they use - What if you found out your umbilical cord was still attached?

What have we done to our world?

Ask anyone you meet on the street how they feel about global warming.  For the most part, you'll get a mixed bag of opinions.  Those who think it is all a crock; those who think that humans are the worst thing to happen to Earth in its history; those who think that Earth is a self-regulating entity that will right itself on its own schedule.

Whether you are a die-hard believer in global warming or a total skeptic, it is hard to view the weather/world headlines and not acknowledge that *SOMETHING* is going on.
