The lovely maraismine posted a wonderful review of Sandalwood and a Potato on GoodReads

4 out of 5 Stars

Who could resist a title like this? The potato has a pivotal role! It is well worth reading the story, even if you only got it for the novelty of a romance with a potato on the cover. Nathan and Sky are amusing opposites and the course of their relationship is full of pitfalls. Help and advice from the supporting cast is not always appreciated. This is a fun read with moments of sadness.

Thad needs a story of his own.

Saw this on ali_wilde who saw it on lilygcs lj and thought it sounded interesting:
My attempt is below. And it appears I can't count. Ali picked one of the same books and I got a different line. It's late. I'm tired. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it ;o)

1. Find the nearest bookshelf of your favorite reads and grab the first seven books you see.
2. Book #1: Turn to page 21. Read the 21st sentence (you may have to turn the page). Write it down.
3. Do the same with all seven books. The sentences will make a paragraph. You must write them down in the order you found them.
4. When you are finished, read over your "story" and title it.
5. Show your bibliography at the end of this meme.

Just a Typical Tuesday
You can say a lot with a wink. Summers watched the show with a fake grin attached to his face.
"It was lovely, thank you."
Feeling rebuffed, Perry turned back to the front room.
"Come in out of the cold for a few minutes."
Billy Blount's apartment was on the third floor of a white brick Dutch colonial building on Madison near New Scotland.
I should be focusing on him, and not the macabre dance of electricity through dead limbs.

Sandalwood and a Potato *

After a chance meeting in the food court of Summerset Mall, Nathan Smith, a corporate bank employee, and Skyler Hawkins, the proprietor of a New Age store, have their well organized lives disorganized. Nathan drops his wallet, Skyler returns it and the scent of sandalwood lingers long after Skyler disappears into the crowd. The memory of Nathan’s eyes and voice haunt Skyler.

Of course, nothing happens without a reason and the two meet again. Despite their differences, they find similarities and agree to a fulfilling and meaningless relationship. Even if meaningless does appear to be meaningful, and one party finds themselves falling in love while the other denies it with difficulty. And one really shouldn't miss the other when things go bad... should he?

* - No potatoes were harmed for this story ;o)

Last One Standing - Five Of Swords
By Andy Slayde & Ali Wilde

It’s good to be the king. Or is it?

Clark Davis, heir to The Makai resort on Oahu, has it all: wealth, prestige and a girlfriend to die for. Having to live his life in the closet is just a minor setback. After all, there are clubs he can go to and plenty of men who don’t know him. Content with his life, Clark figures he doesn’t want or need anybody cluttering up his well-ordered existence.

Until a chance encounter with Xavier, an overly tempting hustler and skilled pickpocket, turns his life upside down. Clark knew the man would be trouble, but gave in to his date's plea for a threesome. By the next morning he wishes he’d never seen Xavier. By the end of the week, he wishes he’d left Xavier on the beach to rot. By the end of the fortnight, the whore has become the most important thing in Clark’s life.

Will Clark stand up for what is right at the risk of losing it all?

Ali dared me to alter the song Hotel California by The Eagles
I truly hate that song
I was not allowed to use fanfic
So here is a little ditty staring two of our boys

( Hotel ? )

Angels We Have While High

It’s all fun and games… Until someone freaks out.
Alex and Zed, from Drawing Conclusions and The Art of Seduction, are back from spending Christmas with family, are ready to celebrate their first Christmas together their own way. A little too full of 'Christmas cheer', the boys are set for a relaxing night of cuddling in front of the Christmas tree. That is, until a friend turns up... with an Angel in tow. Suddenly, Zed finds himself being used as inspiration for someone else's art. His own artist/boyfriend seems to be inspired too.

What happens when those that think they're Demons want to be Angels, those that are named Angel don't care what they are and someone who thinks like Satan unsuccessfully tries manipulating them?
