  1. Love your mash up, Louise, but it’s August McLaughlin, not McFarland. Although, Karen and August are both super fabulous, so maybe you’re channeling a love child from them?

    I need to check out JA Konrath’s post, he’s always good for a laugh. And good call on the warning for Chuck’s post. Yeah, he does like the swear!
