It’s that time again! Amazing how fast the time flies, but once more, it’s time for another Culture Consumption.

Fiction Friday: The Color of Paradox by A.M. Dellamonica

~ Shara ~ Leave a comment

So I can’t promise this will be every week, but if I have something I want to share, this is where I’ll share it. I’ll try to focus on free fiction, so that if you’re interested, you can click a link and read it for yourself.

So much more. I WANT MORE.
