I do a lot of research for my novels, and I am fairly certain that some of my searches have had to trip something somewhere. Not just the content of my searches, although that too, but the wide variety. But bizarre research is par for the course as a multigenre author. And when I get […]
There are some… interesting places out there. Places that need to be visited, to be experienced. Here’s a Travelogue of Weirdness for you! In no particular order… 1.
