People talk about all kinds of topics, and in #science, knowledge is acquired everyday. But the information gathered along the pathway leading toward discovery is not always spoken about in conversation - except for science papers - so most people remain ignorant, unless the discovery or invention touches their lives. I produce #podcasts, a fantastic way to reach out to your audience and share your expertise or knowledge about a topic.

just gonna quote the author summary for this one because it hit me like a truck the first time:
"They’d lost Silas in the Pitiless Pass. Graydon had tried to stop Silas’s attacker, but all that he had to show for it was a cut across his upper chest and shoulder.
The group is forced to take shelter in Nockmaar Castle. The castle might be cursed. There might be ghosts lurking within in its halls. Whatever horrors the castle might hold, though, pale in comparison to the evil that truly awaits them:
Sex pollen."
smutty and very funny!

Jade is equally excited to be ‘randomly’ assigned a cabin with the girl she spent the previous summer hooking up with, wanting more with. The campers aren’t supposed to arrive at camp for another three days. But that doesn’t stop an invited visitor from making their way through camp, hacksawing their way counselors and staff alike.
