What I really wanted for Christmas...

December 27, 2013

Didn't get what you really wanted? Loose Id has your back. All books are 25% off for a limited time and... I may or may not have just bought a ton. So um. Here are mine!

Meet the New Kids

December 15, 2013

First off, apologies for a prolonged absence from blogging. I have a good excuse, though, apart from the holidays (which are always an excuse): I was putting the finishing touches on In Distress, the next installation of Superpowered Love. This one involves Craigslist (Loose Id is doing a thing--details to come), coffee, and superpowered anarchists. That...
