When Belinda Stevens, a lawyer in Yazoo City, Mississippi, began writing a series of columns for The Yazoo Herald, she never dreamed folks would respond the way they have. "I hear all the time that the stories I write remind people of their childhood."
A collection of her columns has been assembled in a sweet little book entitled "Never Give a Cat a Poodle Cut and other stories about growing up in Yazoo City."

The stories are often humorous, but some are a bit more serious as Stevens shares the secrets of life that her own parents shared with her.
Met with positive response from all who read it, "Never Give a Cat a Poodle Cut" is a reminder of life during a simpler time in small town America.

Hosts for THE UNLIKEABLE DEMON HUNTER Book Blast
Bridesmaids meets Buffy.
The ago-old story of what happens when a foul-mouthed, romance impaired heroine with no edit button and a predilection for hot sex is faced with her worst nightmare–a purpose.
Ari Katz is intelligent, driven, and will make an excellent demon hunter once initiated into the Brotherhood of David. However, this book is about his twin Nava: a smart-ass, self-cultivated hot mess, who is thrilled her brother is stuck with all the chosen one crap.
When Nava half-drunkenly interrupts Ari’s induction ceremony, she expects to be chastised. What she doesn’t expect is to take her brother’s place among the–until now–all-male demon hunters. Even worse? Her infuriating leader is former rock star Rohan Mitra, whose sudden retirement in his early twenties now seems a lot less mysterious.
Convinced that her twin still has a shot at his destiny, Nava hatches a plan to convince the Brotherhood to bring the other Katz sibling into the fold. It’s too bad Rohan’s guarding her so closely that she might not be able to put it into action.
And it’s really too bad Rohan’s exactly what Nava’s always wanted: the perfect bad boy fling with no strings attached, because he may also be the one to bring down her carefully erected emotional shields. That’s as dangerous as all the evil fiends vying for the bragging rights of killing the only female ever chosen for Demon Club–or the one demon in particular out for payback.
Odds of survival: eh.
Odds of having a very good time with Rohan before she bites it: much better.
