Heart by Heart
By Scott Ramsey

The Colorado air was taking on a definite chill as Monica walked along the path through the rows of markers. She slowed as she saw a small group standing near the grave that was her destination, and as she watched they laid a large wreath of flowers before the stone and then joined hands for a moment. No one said anything, at least not that she could hear, and Monica waited a respectful distance away while they observed their silent vigil. It only lasted a few minutes and then the half dozen women turned and headed back towards the parking area. As they passed her one of them, a pretty young woman with honey blond hair, smiled warmly and Monica gave her a hesitant nod in return.

A must read

Submitted by Scott Ramsey on 2009, April 14 - 11:34pm

It's not a story posted here, or anywhere online, it's a book entitled Luna, by Julie Anne Peters. Luna is the story of two siblings, 16 year old high school sophomore Regan, and her older brother Liam. For several years they have shared a secret - that Liam is transgender, a girl born in the body of a boy. The story is told through Regan's eyes, who has counseled and protected her 'sister'. Regan's bedroom is Liam's refuge, where he comes at night to transform into Luna, a girl who can only be seen by moonlight.

It hasn't been easy for Regan; protecting Liam/Luna's secret has cost her friends and made her a social outcast, and the fact that Liam is a genius has left her with big shoes to fill at school. Their family life isn't great either, they have an over-bearing father and a pill-popping mother who virtually ignores them.

Daughters of the Moon
By Scott Ramsey

From its perch atop a rocky butte overlooking the Truckee River, Casa del Claro de Luna didn't look particularly foreboding. The three-story, red brick Georgian mansion was about thirty minutes east of Reno, and if its location in the midst of the bleak, desert landscape didn't make it look out of place, the presence of the modern hotel and spa just a few hundred yards away certainly did.

As their small caravan approached the elegant mansion, Jeremy Weller felt an odd sense of anticipation. The University of Arizona grad student attributed his excitement to the fact that this was the first really major case Southwest Paranormal Investigations had undertaken, rather than the location being the most infamous brothel of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

"Mother, what's happened?" Aliana demanded, gripping Keri's arm with both hands. "Where is Poppa?"

"We were attacked by raiders between Thorngil and Sangre," Grand Mistress Elena said, struggling to control her emotions. "Your father … your father was hurt … badly."

FDA Warning

Submitted by Scott Ramsey on 2007, July 19 - 3:34pm

I just received this and felt I should pass it along. The US FDA is warning that there is a risk of botulism from certain nationally distributed canned chili products. Here's a couple of links with the full details:

Emergency Email & Wireless Network

US Food & Drug Administration

Botulism is extremely serious so if you even think you may have a suspect product please throw it away.
