Meet Matt Richter.
Private eye.
Zombie.
His mean streets are the city of the dead, the shadowy realm known as Nekropolis.

That is, if he can survive the myriad horrors that [...]

Review: The First Part Last ~ Angela Johnson

Bobby’s a classic urban teenager. He’s restless. He’s impulsive. But the thing that makes him different is this: He’s going to be a father.

What I Got This Week

So I learned a few things while attempting to pull of this “vlog”:

How to record with my digital camera (yay!)
The volume wasn’t so bad, but I really [...]

Luckily she meets kindhearted Emily, [...]

Today Looks Like…

If the weather reports are any sort of true indication, today’s rain storm marks the beginning of a gloomily overcast weekend.
Sometimes I crave days like today with the rain pummeling the roof, begging the windows for entrance with constant sharp taps. Sometimes days like this afford me the opportunity to snuggle up under a blanket, [...]
