    Mazy did not lie to Phebe in Book One, for she only referred to the POW captivity experience with the other female intel operatives. She left out what preceded this. Mostly, Mazy blocked it out of her mind. Rarely, did she ever talk about it. But it began to rear its head in Book Four…

    Mazy’s family history is an interesting one and very New Orleans. Mazy Baptiste is black, to American definition, but not African American. For those confused, all African Americans are black people, but all black people are not African Americans.

    Here lieth Alfred the Wanker. It t’wasn’t he wanked himself to death. It t’was he was a complete bastard and somebody cut off his head. (American translation helper: wanking is to jerk off.)

He was an embedded journalist in Iraq with…

    In America, some people fear small rodents can carry rabies and infect others with the virus. This is utterly untrue for classic rabies and most lyssaviruses.
