Dystopia? Editors, 15 years ago the world ended & Zan became Chicago's only PI. When killer Gentle Jack appears while cracking cases & falling for clients, Zan's sobriety fails as he hits closer & closer to home. What better place to hit rock bottom than the end of the world.

@akatepockett Cute: Binding your spouse's unpublished book and giving it to them because you want to put it on the shelf and they deserve it. Wrong: Making a financial and business decision for your spouse that they have explicitly said no to.

I have NEVER been more sickened than I am about hearing about Freydis. I thought we were cool. During the Cardigan situation, she would bitch at me as Harlowe and then, while I was vulnerable with her, send me messages reminding me that I was wrong to question him. 1/2
