Here in the US, it's Veteran's Day, so I raise a mug of liberally fortified coffee to all my brothers and sisters. We did dumb things. We did scary things. And we did things that nobody will ever know to keep the world safe. We are a family united by sacrifice. Take care of each other.
In the rest of the world, it's Remembrance Day. And I raise my mug to salute all who never made it home, who lie mourned and unmourned, in cemeteries and in unmarked hallowed ground. May the guns one day finally fall silent. Please.

In today's "Owning Her Image" chapters, Laura comes face to face with the results of her over-the-top night of drug and alcohol fueled debauchery. Will her marriage survive? How? Who actually does own her image? Oh, my poor, sweet Laura.
Meanwhile, in this week's "Aiden and the Ring" chapter, Aiden and Gina reflect in the aftermath of their first encounter. This one is slower to give them a bit of a break before we speed up once more.
I do hope you enjoy and, as always, feedback is most welcome. You are the fuel that keeps me posting.
