I ran into your mom(smiling ear to ear) and dad at Walmart and got the good news of your move! My oldest son and family live in the city you've moved to. We spent Christmas day and that night with them. We are hoping to move there later this year.
Blessings,
Angela

Fiction is comprised of many genres, from science fiction to fantasy, from historic to contemporary romance--the list goes on and on. However, many readers often appreciate a dose of reality within the confines of the intended genre.  Paris was the first European city I ever visited--what an intense experience! The trip was the beginning of a love for the charm that came with Parisian architecture, art, history, food, and the people.

Texas barbecue at the Beast, I have enjoyed exploring the endless possibilities of such a vibrant city that embraces both the modern and the historic like no other. For that reason, I chose the backdrop of Paris for Juxtaposed, the second b
