Okay, holiday gift exchange becoming somewhat random. Hey! Kate Rothwell has posted the next exciting installment of the Baby Food Baron saga - the rollicking Chapter 7 ! If you haven't been following, start here.
Contains a Disillusionist novella + two other awesome ones.
Book #2 of the Disillusionists Trilogy. People change. Big things happen! (Bantam/Spectra)
Book #1 of my UF trilogy, Mind Games, about a hypochondriac heroine who joins a psychological hit squad in a fantastical Midwestern city. (Bantam/Spectra)
I'm an urban fantasy author living in Minneapolis with my excellent husband and two daring cats. I enjoy reading and running, and I'm big on psychological intrigues and plotty mysteries. And also helping animals! I write the disillusionists trilogy (MIND GAMES, DOUBLE CROSS and HEAD RUSH) and assorted other tales.

Always a good thing to help with - info on ereaders! :) Another wonderful cartoon CJ! You're so creative!
Good one!! :D
that's so awesome. I think you should do a cartoon of the Billionaire's Baby Food Tycoon's story (I forget the actual title).
Ahahahahahah! I second Jane's comment. Maybe what Niko gives Cesaer and Molly gives Charity?
