Hot Links, Beautiful Music and Furry Friday!

I have lots of stuff for your entertainment and enlightenment today, but first I would like to welcome the readers of my author friend, Bailey Bradford, who are stopping by to visit (and the rest of you too!).  Bailey was ever so kind as to give my humble efforts in these pages a word or two of praise and a link to Nichevo in her post from yesterday.  Besides all of the truly terrific M/M erotic romance novels she writes, she blogs about family, friends and posts serialized stories at Bailey's Playroom.  Her current story, When a Shifter Falls in Love, is up to chapter 24 already however clicking on the link will take you to Chapter One so you can start at the beginning.  The story revolves around Rolly, a Wolf Shifter who is his pack's Shaman and Edie a transgender Snow Leopard shifter who, naturally, fall in love.  It is a marvelous story I think you will enjoy very much so check it out.  And Thank You Bailey for all the wonderful things you do!

Now, as busy as I was yesterday I still found time to wander the web a bit and I found so many interesting things it would be impossible to discuss them all in one post.  Therefore I have posted the most interesting, intriguing, and/or inflammatory links below for you to check out at your liesure:
