    shouting out to my michigan fam!

    BTW, if you're a fiction reader, check out my books based in Detroit (all except Stone's Revenge, which is in Ohio). I'm a sensual noir author and I'm sure you'll enjoy them (not just because I wrote them, LOL.) Check out my books at by clicking here.

    Hi Patti - yes, I'll happily have a crack at a forgotten book review - sounds like a great project. Just tell me a bit more about what you require and I'll put my brain in to steep.

    Cheers, m'dear!
