Just now catching up on the news, specifically, about Cecil the lion. If you're as upset about it as I am now, just skip this post.
Oddly enough, since I became a vegetarian, I am LESS opposed to legal hunting of deer, for example, because at least the animal probably had a good life in the wild before being killed (fairly quickly by a bullet and not a pack of wolves or coyotes) vs. animals living their whole lives in horrible conditions in some factory farms.
But WTF, man. What kind of person gets a thrill out of killing beautiful animals that they aren't even going to eat? And an animal in a safari park that had a name?? That's like killing your neighbor's pet dog.

Emily's Magical Bejeweled Codpiece
Thank you to the bloggers who have let me promote my new book at their blogs when I can't even remember to update my own blog..... >.<
Emily's Magical Bejeweled Codpiece came out on June 24, when I was out of the country. That seems to keep happening....
The story is a short novella, about 16,000 words, contemporary and time travel and general crackfic, but it is also my ode to odor. I will do a blog post about that shortly.
The story is about Tom, who is kind of a jerk and wants what he can't have instead of being happy with what he does have, which is really pretty awesome. He gets himself in a whole heap o' trouble when he puts on a bejeweled codpiece that causes him to time travel back to Renaissance Florence. (I told you, crackfic!!)
I discuss how I came up with the title in my guest blog at The Novel Approach.
And here's a lovely review from Rainbow Book Reviews!
More information (including the real blurb) at the link.
And can I just say that Paul Richmond knocked it out of the park with that cover? I would add heart icons if I knew how.

a thought on Obergefell decision holdouts in KY, AL and elsewhere
I'm so impressed with all those counties where the clerks are refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples because of the clerks' religious beliefs. Just think about it -- up until now, absolutely no sinners have requested marriage licenses there. It must have been paradise.
