Draken Almatto has been in a despicable mood lately. Webcomic artist Charli Almatto can only wonder what's annoying her husband now. Her instincts tell her it might have something to do with that little handcuffs incident. Or the way she reacted to the news of the science award her billionaire genius husband just won for his sex toy robotics skills. Or her failure to attend the ceremony with him in Chicago.
It's true, since their wedding she and Draken haven't had to endure a night apart. One short week shouldn't threaten their relationship, should it? After all, Draken did marry her, exotic kink and all, despite his reservations about trusting any woman with his heart. A few short days apart is hardly long enough for cynical Draken to decide he's made a mistake...
But as his business trip stretches out to improbable lengths, Charli is reminded that when it comes to Draken, even a week without his strict...jumbo...colossal...attention is way, way too long... Views: 622
When last we met, good people, the biggest wish I've ever made came to fruition.It didn't happen without some help—okay, a lot of help. Either way, let's just say the deed was done.My outrageously handsome, smart, sometimes persnickety (read mostly persnickety) Spy Guy, Winterbottom, is finally here on earth with me, recuperating from his afterlife jaunt.And I couldn't be happier…Sure, he can be a difficult patient. He's forever bellowing my name from his sick bed. He likes his socks ironed and his toast cut in triangles, thank you very much. Add in the fact that some of the spells I've cast to make this dream a reality have had repercussions (an understatement), and it's been sheer chaos.But all tomfoolery aside, Win's here with us, and I'm thrilled, as you can imagine.Mostly.So when it's decided amongst my favorite men I should take a day for myself and hit Seattle for some much-needed shopping, I hesitantly head...

Robby Gallaty is not who you think he is. In Recovered, pastor and author Robby Gallaty tells the story of how God radically saved him from his addictions and called him into a life of discipleship. Robby grew up in a very religious Catholic family who attended church every Sunday and confession on Saturday if needed. Very rarely did he miss a Saturday night dinner and a movie with his parents and sister Lori. You can imagine how devastated they were when Robby stole $15,000 from them to fuel his drug addiction. Two years earlier, he was rear-ended on his way home from work by an 18-wheeler. Two herniated discs in his neck and back forced him to rely on pharmaceutical drugs to cope with the pain. Within three months, he transitioned to street drugs, heroine, and cocaine, after blowing through his thirty-day prescription in two weeks. Robbing his parents was the only option to prolong his drug habit. Shortly thereafter, Robby hit rock bottom.... Views: 622
