    Love your entries. Think I've read them all. Buffy was one of my favourite shows way back when. Firefly overtook that one, years later.

    You might want to look at my novel? – Serious blowing of my horn –
    I've just published a middle grade+ novel – see http://moustacheonthemoon.wordpress.com/
