Chloe and Tanita, bedroom sceneTanita, who was used to sprawling across her big bed, was somewhat of two minds about sharing it with Chloe. She was excited at the prospect of having company, but less happy about having to be careful not to crush her guest. Tanita got into the bed, facing the wall so as not to accidentally kick Chloe in her sleep, and Chloe got in beside her, facing the other way.Chloe and Tanita, bedroom scene by *914four
“Good night babe,” she said, pulling a blanket around herself.
Tanita twisted her upper torso so that she could see the back of Chloe's head and said “Good night? Aren't we going to gossip or tell scary stories or something?”
Chloe rolled over and

Anik arrived home from school, removed her winter coat and boots and went straight upstairs to her room. She turned on her laptop computer, checked her email, and then logged into her school website to do her homework. An 'A' student, she finished her French and English lessons quickly. Math took a little longer, but in less than an hour she was done and submitting her homework for evaluation. After checking for a confirmation email that all of her assignments had been submitted and were 100% correct, she logged into :devart: DeviantArt. Her last deviation, a picture she had taken of he

Amazed at all the attention   Quote of the week: "If I wanted fuel economy, I'd'a bought a Hummer" - Armand Lajeunesse Thanks for visiting! If you didn't find what you were looking for, just ask below on the right. Perhaps one of the cats has it. |
to everyone who participated in the eBook promotion of "The Kentauride"
this past weekend. Based on my observations, we peaked at #4 in the Canada Kindle Store> Kindle eBooks> Science Fiction & Fantasy> Fantasy> Contemporary category (#53 in the US market), and #14 overall in Books> Science Fiction & Fantasy> Fantasy over the May 4th weekend! My most heartfelt thanks for all of the great feedback and suggestions, and my sincere apologies for the typos that somehow made it past the final edit stage. One of the things this experience has taught me is that an editor is just as important as a graphics artist is to the cover, so I am going to budget for that in the future.
received over 11 thousand views in just 5 days, making it onto the "most popular" list, so congratulations and my deepest gratitude to Ileana 
for what I believe is a significant contributor to the eBook's success! 
Excited 
Canada, eh?
because it kept coming up in Google searches for the words "Centaur" and "Kentauride." Since I'm currently writing a series that features a young Kentauride in a modern setting, this seemed to be the place to hang out. 
, ferroequinology photography, some basic photography (animals and landscapes mostly) and some freehand sketching on occasion. All of my submissions have ratings, some are free for you to do as you please with, others I'd rather not be used for commercial purposes because they may have trademarks or such that I cannot grant you rights for
, and lastly some are personal and are shared simply because someone asked
. I would respectfully request that you heed the rating as they are posted for each submission; just because one image is free for you to use doesn't mean that all are. I have several hundred thousand images stored on UDO and DDS media. Unfortunately the database linking to these images was lost due to bit rot (data corruption), so it is not a simple task to find anything; if I have promised to find an image for you, please be patient, as it can be very time consuming and I do have a day job. Lastly, I do not Photoshop any of my images, what you see is what I shot, unless otherwise indicated. Thanks.

 "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers"Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains." - Steve Jobs "A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. " - Roald Dahl "Alas, all too often, Enzos end up illustrating what happens when too much money, too much car, and too little talent arrive at the same place at the same time." - Mike Sheehan"If one cannot state a matter clearly enough so that even an intelligent twelve-year-old can understand it, one should remain within the cloistered walls of the university and laboratory until one gets a better grasp of one's subject matter." - Margaret Mead"We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works." - Douglas Adams"There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats." - Anonymous"Ford," he said, "you're turning into a penguin. Stop it." - Douglas Adams (from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)"[He] died of a lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a Ferrari and a bottle of tequila." Douglas Adams (from The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, 1988)"Of all God's creatures there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain Notebook, 1894"Porsches are like children, you won't truly understand until you have had one." - Nicole Galarneau"There is, incidentally, no way of talking about cats that enables one to come off as a sane person." - Dan Greenberg"Committees are, by nature, timid. They are based on the premise of safety in numbers; content to survive inconspicuously, rather than take risks and move independently ahead. Without independence, without the freedom for new ideas to be tried, to fail, and to ultimately succeed, the world will not move ahead, but rather live in fear of it's own potential" - Ferdinand Anton Ernst Porsche"Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job." - James A. Lovell"Yes, it was an act of God. But which God?" - Douglas Adams "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness." - Mark Twain“The best way to kill a man is to pay him to do nothing.” - Félix Leclerc |

The point is one that comes up often in dealing with the government, if no one makes a decision, then no one can be blamed if it fails. A committee is a great way to avoid making decisions. 
but also thanks!!
