Next were workplaces and schools, but the best thing about many of the stories is that the love lasted. Here are three stories where the beginning was not …
I sent out a newsletter last week with some book news (mainly that Angel Sister was on e-book sale for cheap, cheap, cheap, but the sale may end tomorrow.)
