When not crocheting genitalia, growing tomatoes, driving teenagers around, or cooking something obscure, she can be found at her computer, procrastinating. Possibly while also lying on the couch, eating bon-bons.Check out what Anne’s up to now by visiting her site. http://annetenino.comLinks:Dreamspinner Press: http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/stor...Riptide:http://www.riptidepublishing.com/auth...Chicks &amp; Dicks:http://chicksndicks.blogspot.comTwitter:https://twitter.com/#!/AnneTeninoGoodreads profile:http://www.goodreads.com/annetenino ...more
