Hello again. I hope that, despite the heat, you've been enjoying the beginning of this new season.

I suspect, though, that the abundant rain, low temperatures and howling winds typical of ...

By Dr Afsana Elanko I'm really excited about this first of four Showcases in July, based on the theme of Literary Passions And Guilty Pleasures.
