Vintage Friday: Lose Weight with Ginger Cake

Halloween Birthday John Keats

Happy Halloween Birthday to John Keats! For your enjoyment here are a few lines from his poem Lamia. A lamia is part woman, part serpent, and in homage to Keats (not to mention the creatures are cool) one appears in my paranormal dark fantasy romance, Mind Your Goddess – Wytchfae 3, coming out in December from Secret… Continue reading Halloween Birthday John Keats
