Busy day today

So let's get right to it, shall we?

First, to the Contributions gallery, where we have a new tale from JennyGagged entitled Babysitter in Trouble.  Read, comment, and enjoy.  We also have a brief update from Amanda Lu on Maggie's War - and more about Amanda later.

It's snowing here in the UK as I type this, so it's kinda sorta appropriate that I can post a story requested by a lovely lady called Veronika Mueller, entitled Weekend at the Cabin.  I hope you enjoy this as well.

It's Valentine's Day next week, so to mark that (in a tangential way) I offer the tale of a man known simply as The Rose, for reasons that will become apparent.

Another man who uses, or rather used, a rose at this time of year was John Jacobs, as he relates in a tale called Cupid and The Cat.  You may also enjoy a tale of Valentine's Visits.

Next week - a look at the Family of Crime from two different perspectives, mine and Amanda Lu, and the final part of Portrait of a Lady.
