That’s the name the marketing folks around here are fondly using for Meg: Hell’s Aquarium. Steve Alten came to Ingram today to hang out, tell us a bit about himself and his background, and ultimately left us all pumped up and ready to sell Sno Cones to Eskimos. (That man is an AMAZING salesman!) Steve is just a real,…
Lillie ( ) sent me a message this morning: Hey All, Just in case someone has something they plan to purchase at Barnes & Noble this weekend, I thought I would pass this along. My daughter is in the choral program at LaVergne High School and they are having a fund raiser with B&N. The choral program will…
My little sister Soteria used to call me "Shala." She always got me in trouble, and she could never eat a fudgesicle without getting half of it all over her face. Now, she owns Dixie Dunbar Studio (192 King Street, Charleston SC) and designs necklaces and earrings that are featured in Vogue magazine. She’s currently working on redoing the…

Completely fell in love with the man.You should too. You can get Zebra, Croc, Pig, and Rat for only about $6 apiece, and shipping’s pretty decent…especially…
The subject of my next piece of artwork is a Brazilian witch named Bruxa Evora. My goal was to make her look a little like Morena Baccarin. NOT Tricia Helfer. I think it’s the eyes. And the chin.
