As a writer of fantasy, I like to read it too. With one of my Christmas gift cards, I bought the entire Crimson Shadow series by R. A. Salvatore (on sale, of course). I really enjoyed another book by him (The Highwayman), so I decided it wasn’t much of a risk to buy the entire

I like to leave the pampas grass uncut through the winter. Among the dormant trees and lifeless grass, it stands proudly to remind me of the life-filled summer months. I enjoying sitting outside on one of winter’s odd 50-degree days to watch the stalks and plumes sway in the breeze. Chris L. MeyersChris L. Meyers
