Huh. About 15, 20 minutes ago, we felt the ground shake. I thought maybe something fell over in the basement, but when I checked the storage area, there was nothing out of place. But we weren't the only ones who noticed it. 9-1-1 services for three counties are getting reports about the disturbance. It was heard (more like felt) in East Bay Township, Grawn, and even Mayfield, which is ten miles south of us. An explosion of some kind? A seismic tremor?
For me, I don't remember exactly how it happened. I had just bought my first Kindle Fire, and I was looking for gay romance stories to fill it with. That's how I discovered The Secret Life of Billy Chase. After reading book three or four, I thought, "Hmmmm. I wonder what else this person has written?" So, I did a Google search, and Gay Authors was at the top of the page. So, I've read many Comsie stories on GA, but The Shack came later.
