Damon, his brother, on the other hand relishes the taste and doesn’t make any bones about it. Personally, I like Damon’s …

Last week I was in Orlando for the 2010 National RWA Convention, which was held at the Dolphin Hotel in Disneyworld. I always have a great time at RWA – talk too much, laugh too much, get way too little sleep – and this year was no exception. I don’t think I went to bed before 2 a.m. any night, I laughed so much my cheeks hurt, and …
