It is that time of week again. All the woes of the week can now melt away. Let's have some Blog Ring of Power time, then some chocolate! Welcome to MICHELLE HAUCK, this week’s Blog Ring of Power guest. She's an AQC buddy of mine! Michelle lives in the bustling metropolis of Northern Indiana with her hubby and two teenagers. Two papillons help balance out the teenage drama. Besides working with special needs children by day, she writes all sorts of fantasy, giving her imagination free range. A book worm, she passes up the darker vices in favor of chocolate and looks for any excuse to reward herself. Bio finished? Time for a sweet snack. Her epic fantasy,  Kindar’s Cure , is released from Divertir Publishing. A short story,  Frost and Fog , will be released in a summer anthology from The Elephant’s Bookshelf Press.

It's Friday!!! I've got my coffee, my critiques and edits to work on for today.  Now I just need my hug-me jacket.  I've got someone here today that can provide! Everyone jump for joy and pass them around. Don't worry, they come in all colors! Welcome T.J. Loveless to the Blog Ring of Power.
