		<description><![CDATA[What I Am Reading I&#8217;m currently reading Infamous by Suzanne Brockmann which reminds me once again why my husband is willing to read romance novels by her. Brockmann is extremely talented and has established herself well enough to get away with the first person POV of a dead man in a romance novel. I can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

No, your word processor doesn&#8217;t know how to spell everything, and it may suggest some bizarre alternatives, but again, it&#8217;s pointing out possible problems. Now here&#8217;s the trick.

A Stroke of Dumb Luck By Shiloh Walker, on Tor.com, is a fun urban fantasy story that does an excellent job of establishing the world all the while maintaining tension: http://www.tor.com/stories/2010/07/a-stroke-of-dumb-luck.
