ONE STEP BEYOND

If you’ve never seen the old ONE STEP BEYOND series with host John Newland, you’ve missed a treat.

Although it was often compared to The Twilight Zone, One Step Beyond actually began months before, and claimed to be based on purportedly ‘real’ cases of psychic and supernatural experiences.

One of the most interesting shows was where the very staid host travels to Mexico to sample a bit of the “magic mushroom” —yes, on film, and uncensored. :razz:

Needless to say, that was my favorite episode. :smokin:

“What you are about to see is a matter of human record. Explain it: we cannot. Disprove it: we cannot. We simply invite you to explore with us the amazing world of the Unknown … to take that One Step … Beyond.”

We’re taking that step at the CHICAS site today. :shock: :shock: :shock:

RHENN

I thought I’d better post this as a heads-up, just in case…
As of November 15, one week from today, this selection will no longer be available from Loose Id Publishing.

RHENN always held a secret, special place in my heart.
It was my first attempt at erotica. It was one of my first completed mss, and an excerpt from this helped me semi-final in one of Lori Foster’s Brava Contests.
Geez—why does that all seem so long ago?! :shock:

In better blog-hopping news…

Just in case you’re out of the loop—Paperback Writer is back. :woot:

Vanessa Jaye is looking for opinions on vampires, bitches, historicals after 1900, and whether your television viewing affects your reading.

And Tanya is asking for help in choosing a sexy, anal-retentive racist. :razz:

A LITTLE MONEY UNDER THE KEYBOARD…

Well blow me down.

Some authors are actually PAYING people to blog-hop and chat up their books??!! :shock:

Is it me, or does it seem like the actual writing is becoming less and less important in the process? :neutral:
