Lacey never thought she’d be attracted to the blond-haired, blue-eyed variety, but Rye was sexy as hell. And she wanted him. Badly.
Seeking to satisfy a sexual itch for the hell of it was virgin territory to her, but surely she could give in to the pleasure he offered, if only for one night. It didn’t matter that he was her brother’s best friend. She could care less that her focus should be on getting her business on solid footing. Lacey Bishop, independent, logical black female, was about to fuck the white boy next door. She’d question her sanity later.
Ryder McKay wasn’t suffering from lack of female attention, so he couldn’t blame his raging need for Lacey on a dry spell. Beyond her being a gorgeous woman, he didn’t know what fueled his urgent hunger. Her father and brother would probably want to kill him, but Lacey was worth it. He’d sampled heaven in her arms, and no way was he giving it up. Views: 45

How hard is it to move 5 legless pianos 39 times?Beethoven owned five legless pianos and composed great works on the floor. His first apartment was in the center of Vienna's theater district... but he forgot to pay rent, so he had to move. (And it's very hard to move a piano. Even harder to move five). Beethoven's next apartment was in a dangerous part of town... so he moved, and the pianos followed on a series of pulleys. Then came an apartment with a view of the Danube (but he made too much noise and the neighbors complained), followed by an attic apartment (where he made even MORE of a rukus), and so Beethoven moved again and again. Each time, pianos were bought, left behind, transported on pulleys, slides, and by movers, all so that gifted Beethoven could compose great works of music for the world. Views: 44

familiar, and revels in the fears we never knew we even had.
Fear of the Dark, the second
anthology from Horror Bound Magazine Publications, features 20 eerie tales from
established and emerging authors of horror, speculative and literary fiction
and an introduction by horror master Paul Kane (Shadow Writer & The
Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy). It is edited by Maria Grazia Cavicchioli
(Return of the Raven) and Jason Rolfe (Synthetic Saints). The short stories
