Blog post: Be careful with your vagina

This is an unplanned post. It was meant to be just a quick thing but I got wrapped up in researching so it ended up being a little more detailed than I had planned. I wanted to put this out there, because of this article which I see making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter.

Happy Holidays!

No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope it’s a great one for you. There are about a dozen holidays this month and I don’t want to leave anyone out, since Yule is officially today I’m going to post my online holiday card now. I’m fairly proud of it so I hope you enjoy it!

In other news: I’m currently working on a holiday story, that I plan to post on Christmas Eve or Day, depending on how quickly I’m able to get some work done on it.

I did come up with an amazing idea for a dark holiday novel or novella, but there was no way to get it ready for this year. I was tempted to post a little teaser for you guys instead of writing something new, but since it likely won’t be finished until late next year that seemed cruel.  I am aiming to put that novel out next November/December if all goes well though. It has a Krampus theme so it could end up being very dark indeed; I guess we’ll see!
