Blog post of the (last) week … “Thoughts on Titan sub and untimely death”
“Evan & Elle” review of the week …
“Witty and cleverly written. Can an angel and demon fall in love over the internet? Can such a relationship ever find its happily ever after? Find out in this highly amusing story with more than a handful of unexpected and familiar cameo characters. This is not a romance, but rather a story of impossible love in the strangest of places. How can their situation possibly work out? You'll be rooting for Evan and Elle.”
Thank you, Linda C, Pennsylvania!
