Spring is in the Air

 

By Mahalia Levey

Spring is in the air….Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

I’m all for cuddle time during the cold winter storms, but what is up with all of these late winter storms? The time for hot cocoa with whipped cream and small candy canes saved over from Christmas time as stirrers is almost behind us. Cuddling with a good book on the couch or snuggled under the covers gives way to sitting at the pool, basking in the sun and enjoying our free time.

With the doom and gloom of winter nearly over we can rush headlong into spring and all the new life the changing season brings. Spring is my favorite of all seasons, it’s not too cold or too hot but just perfect. I love the smell of fresh rain. Here in the Midwest, preferably to the city air of New York. There is just something about the months of spring that inspire me and make me more optimistic than I already am.

Everyone seems to procreate during this time of year. *Waggles brows*

Love is in the air along with Japanese Cherry Blossoms; well that’s how I see it! I think that spring inspires hope, and rejuvenates us with the great weather and sunny days.

What are your favorite parts of spring?

I love the rock concerts, lovers walking down beaches, being able to feel the sun on my face without melting! Dancing in the rain, kissing in the rain and mud volleyball!

Burn Me if You Can 

 Working for the Wichita Tribune is the best thing that’s ever happened to Rebekah Shayne, until she takes an assignment aimed to take down a prestigious matchmaking firm. She’s determined to ferret out the falsities, schemes, and swindling companies manipulating lonely souls.

Ashton Foster doesn’t believe in on line dating. When his mother takes charge of his personal life, he knows it’s useless to fight her and would rather go through a few dates with strangers than let her push the unending stream of locals down his throat vying for his pocketbook. In this he finds the perfect opportunity to downplay who he is and become a regular type of guy.

Tell Me No Lies

Dancing isn’t easy. Four nights a week Caileigh disappears into the persona of ‘Autumn’ to make a decent buck. The foster care system didn’t prepare her for what happens after turning twenty-one. Armed with only a high school diploma and forty bucks, she’s thrust on the hard cold streets, where she takes the only job a young girl with no prospects can get. Selling small pieces of herself to strangers isn’t the life she wishes for. Deep down she aches for a better life.

A scant piece of paper gives Orias the name of a seedy business and a photograph to keep vigil over his newest target. To find such beauty among the dredges of society wrecks every ounce of intelligence he possesses. For once, despite his being fallen, Orias thinks to disobey a direct order—never touch the protected. The way she moves on stage entrances him, but the sadness hidden underneath a facade of sexual promise makes him want to battle all her demons. Underneath his dark soul, he craves her light and the warmth of love. Will Fate allow them a life together?
