Now Available: Blood Choice by Stephanie Park

New year, new blood, as David’s world of light is threatened by the vampires. A choice…a terrible one…must be made as well as a sacrifice if David and his world survives. Open up the new year with BLOOD CHOICE by @bladespark today!

Description

David lives in a world of light, surrounded by darkness. Literally, for the UV lights that circle the city at night are the only thing keeping the vampires without at bay. But he will soon lose that fragile shelter and be forced to go out into the dark. No human stands a chance against a vampire, yet if David is willing to make a terrible choice, he may be able to turn the tide against the vampires’ evil.

A&W Root Beer Puts Pants on Mascot

Rooty A&W’s Mascot has been around for a long time

Pantless like all good bears, until Tucker Carlson stuck his opinion claiming this mascot for the downfall of civilization for going pantless. I know some have blamed the woke culture on this move. But really why would a group who are progressive get bothered over a bear who has always remained bottomless for the last 60 years. What’s next replace Paddington’s Coat with a 3 piece business suit? After all he did lead an effort to get the MMs characters banned for now get this being naked.
