Christmas in July 99 Cent Sale and $100 Giveaway
The nights are growing longer and the winter snows are coming—Darkenwald Castle is under siege.
Lord Guy Blackthorne is prepared to lay down his life for his children, his wife, and all who seek his protection. But as renegades, mercenaries, and political intrigue surround his ancient family stronghold, he’s forced to stay his hand against those who would dare to attack his fortress.
As supplies and hope dwindle, Lady Vespa fears Yule will not be one of good cheer, and the children shall have no gifts this year. At least she and Guy have one another, for that she is thankful. But there are few private moments to share their love, and every endeavor to satisfy their passion is interrupted when the enemy attempts to invade the castle.

What's in your Pocket?

The word pocket appears in Middle English, and is taken from a
Norman diminutive of Old French poke, pouque, or pouch. The form
"poke" is now only used in dialect, or in such proverbial sayings as
"a pig in a poke".
Historically, the term "pocket" referred to a pouch worn around the waist by women, as mentioned in the rhyme Lucy Locket. In these pockets, women would carry items needed in their daily lives, such as scissors, pins and needles, and keys.
Lucy
Locket lost her pocket.
Kitty
Fisher found it;
Not a
penny was there in it,
Only ribbon
round it.
The rhyme was first noted by James Orchard Halliwell in 1842 (Some accountings hint at Lucy and Kitty being rival courtesans of the time of Charles II", making it a much older and more interesting nursery rhyme)
In the 17th century,
pockets began to be sewn into men's clothing, but not women's. In more modern
clothing, women still sometimes have a Potemkin pocket, which is a fake slit
sewn shut.
A watch pocket or fob pocket is a small
pocket designed to hold a pocket watch, in men's trousers and waistcoats and found
in traditional blue jeans.

A besom pocket or slit pocket is cut into a
garment instead of being sewn on. often with reinforced stitching. Besom
pockets are found on a tuxedo jacket or trousers and may be accented with a
flap or button closure.
Camp pockets or cargo pockets are sewn to the outside of the garment. They are usually squared off and are characterized by seaming.
During Prohibition hip pockets became a handy place for hiding flasks and this practice contributed to the curved shape of the vessel to fit snuggly against the body and be less obvious. Supposedly, people who wore hip flasks became known as hipsters and thus the term was born.
