Craig’s head was still spinning from the events of last night. First Aunt Sylvia disappears, then her estranged sister, Craig’s mother, shows up out of the blue with a story about Sylvia’s unsavory past. He knew he should be worried about his aunt, and he was. But the thing that was bothering him the most […]

Finally, after months of secretly searching, Jake found Olivia’s collection of secret thoughts and wishes. On her lap desk. Unlocked and open. Which, now that he thought about it, seemed a little strange, but whatever. 5/19/2012 I felt really bad tattling on Jake today. I guess maybe I was just jealous because Gramma bought him […]

I’ve read enough fairy tales to know they’re out there, missy, and they’ll pay top dollar to get their hands on your tears and tiny curls for their spells. Well, not dollars, really. I think they do silver pieces. Whichever. The point is you can either give me something adorable to post to YouTube, or […]

Holmes closed his eyelids and steepled his fingers. The Duchess was about to speak but Watson silenced her with a gesture. Minutes passed, the room motionless save the guttering of the candle on the mantle and the nervous ticking of the Duchess’s ring upon her brass-bound clutch. Suddenly, Holmes opened his eyes, stood up, and […]

You know what, Sharon? I may be a blood-thirsty ancient killing machine, but I have feelings too. I really thought we had something special. But now you’re sending me all these mixed messages, and I just don’t know what to think anymore. Last week you ordered a Cabernet. You enjoyed its black cherry-dominated aroma and […]

It’s the horrible truth of the modern age. No one “meets” anyone any more. Everyone stalks and evaluates everyone else’s dating profiles to glean information before making a calculated decision to strike up a conversation. On the one hand, it’s nice to know a person’s personality before wasting much time. On the other hand, there’s […]

“Doctor Mangler’s robot army is tearing through us, Major Patriot!” “HOLD THE LINE, REVENGE SQUAD!” “Sir, if we don’t get some kind of reinforcement we’re doomed!” “Wait! Who’s that?!” “‘Tis I, Revengers! MAXIMO!” “Who’s Maximo?” “No clue.” “What are your powers, son?” “First off, Major, I’m a lady. I just happen to be somewhat androgynous.” […]

Before you come in, I should warn you: My new apartment is pretty cozy. In fact, it’s not so much an “apartment” as it is a “Kelty Redwing 44 Backpack,” but I’ve set it up pretty well so that it’s got everything I need. It’s got about 2.58 square feet of floorspace, which is actually […]

Craig passed back and forth through his aunt’s empty apartment, twisting and untwisting the tie he was wearing around his finger as he did. There had to be a better explanation for Sylvia’s disappearance than ruining his first night out with Danielle. There HAD to be. “After Nestoras told me what was going on, I […]

Dear the Discovery Kids Explorer 5 Book Bundle publishers, Although I enjoyed the Discovery Kids Explorer 5 Book Bundle, I feel that you made a mistake in describing your product. For example, you do have five exciting books, all of which I enjoyed reading. But you convinced my mom that the quizzes were “fun” and […]
