![]() ![]() That the scribe of MS 60 calls himself Hohan Lehts‘i-John of Poland-further makes a connection between MS 60 and the Armenian community of Poland. ![]() While in Lvov, there’s evidence he had a copy made of the Historical Compilation by Vardan Arewelts‘i, the same author of MS 60’s Geography. He had Catholic leanings and spent time in the Armenian Catholic center of Lvov, Poland. Although any identification would be speculative, it is very possible that the Hovhannēs vardapet of Constantinople mentioned in the colophon is Hovhannēs vardapet III (1554–1634), known as Khul (the Deaf), who was the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople in the early 17th century. But even a colophon with scant information can tell a story. ![]()

But, it wasn’t going to be as easy as simply switching over to writing MM romance. Then, I found MM romance and I knew right away I’d found what I was missing all along in MF romance. I found myself feeling creatively unfulfilled and uninspired as a majority of strictly MF readers begged for asshole alpha males over and over while all I wanted to write were sweet, broken men in need of a saving of their own. And if you’ve been a long-time reader who’s here for the bonus content, a huge thank you to you too, because without your love and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today.Īs most of you know, I started my writing career in MF romance and as much as I enjoyed certain aspects of it, I found myself feeling unable to write stories the way I wanted to.

It seemed to me that it had been trying to emerge from my soul all my life, and only now.

Maybe it’s Flora’s flippers, maybe it’s the sharp looks from the flamingo, or the decidedly ungraceful splashing. Despite the pink this is a thoroughly non girly-girl pink. The graceful flamingo and the charming Flora leap, dance and splash through pages which are all the shades of pink you could ever possibly imagine – and then some. This visually stunning, wordless picture book by former DreamWorks animator Molly Idle, captures ridiculousness and loveliness perfectly. ![]() So it was with much delight that I took possession of ‘Flora and the Flamingo’. ![]() They are a curious combination of ridiculousness and loveliness.
