Alert! Birth Control Pills Recalled!

Spread the word! No one who needs these wants to be surprised by a mix-up!

WebMD News Alert:

Drug manufacturer Pfizer has voluntarily recalled a million packets of Lo/Ovral-28 and generic norgestrel/ethinyl estradiol birth control pills because of a packaging mix-up. The pills, which may be out of order, could lead to unintentional pregnancy.

Although the pills are made and packaged by Pfizer, they are sold by Akrimax Rx Products and carry the Akrimax name on their labels.

If you haven't checked out Patricia Burroughs yet...

...you have missed a smart, funny, talented woman.

Patricia "Pooks" Burroughs has joined Book View Cafe, and we are all the stronger for it. Her first release with us is for all of you who like your historical romance spicy --

La Desperada -- A Western Romance
ISBN: 978-1-61138-141-2

A desperate woman fleeing for her life holds a cold-blooded murderer at gunpoint and says, "Take me with you."

Thus the tortured outlaw's quest for vengeance joins her bid for freedom, and a tale of grand passion and wild adventure unfurls. Set in the Texas and New Mexico of Billy the Kid, their love and sacrifice become the stuff of legend, the legend of "La Desperada."

“This is the book that Joan Wilder would have written!” —Terri Edda Miller, Producer, Castle

I've been making Pooks' acquaintance over the past year or two through several writer's groups. We have yet to meet in person, but I'm looking forward to it. I can always count on Pooks to be interesting, informative, and helpful. Pooks has all the things I trust about writers I want to read and people whose energy I'm willing to brush up against. She creates books. She pens essays. She writes scripts! If you'd like a taste of the elemental Pooks, you need to read her first post for Book View Cafe. Because things happen to Pooks.

Really.

La Desperada is $4.99 and DRM-free at Book View Cafe. And Patricia Burroughs is recommended. If you're not into western romance, stick around -- she's writing a fantasy.

Really!
