 <title>my book is available as a KINDLE</title>
 <link>http://www.redroom.com/blog/kimsmith/my-book-available-a-kindle</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Tonight I was reading JA Konrath&#039;s accounting of his sales over at his blog  http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2009/10/kindle-numbers-traditional-publishing.html  and it made me wonder if Avenging Angel had made it to Kindle yet. Guess what? IT HAS!!!!!Avenging Angel at the  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Avenging-Angel-ebook/dp/B002HE1H7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=digital-text&amp;amp;qid=1256348324&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot; title=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Avenging-Angel-ebook/dp/B002HE1H7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=digital-text&amp;amp;qid=1256348324&amp;amp;sr=1-1&quot;&gt;http://www.amazon.com/Avenging-Angel-ebook/dp/B002HE1H7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U...&lt;/a&gt; ...&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Saying Good-bye</title>
 <link>http://www.redroom.com/blog/kimsmith/saying-good-bye</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;It has almost been a year since Ron died. Of all the losses, I feel his most acutely. The kids have healed slightly, nothing exactly right. They cannot talk about him. They cannot leave his things behind. They talk of going to the cemetery this weekend on the anniversary, and I think they should forget about it. Seems to me that it will only be slicing open a wound that is having trouble healing. ...&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Forgiveness, forgiveness blog</title>
 <link>http://www.redroom.com/blog/kimsmith/forgiveness-forgiveness-blog</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I remember sitting all alone in my room listening to vinyls back in the day and wondering why my father never bought my mother a wedding ring. It wasn&#039;t like it was a terribly expensive thing to do. He had plenty of money to keep her in cigarettes and booze. When I got a chance, I asked him. He clammed up and didn&#039;t reply. In fact, he didn&#039;t speak to me for days, until sobbing and afraid, I ...&lt;/p&gt;
