In 1958, National Boss' Day was registered with the US Chamber of Commerce. The woman who came up with the idea chose today because it was her boss'/father's birthday. It was officially backed and proclaimed by the Illinois Governor at that time in 1962. Then in 1979, Hallmark Cards decided to make some coin off the holiday by introducing Boss' Day cards into their repertoire. #BossDay

AuthorI have spent quite a few years writing short stories that never quite fit into the 'normal' genre. When I came across the different erotica genres I was overjoyed. I had found my writing family. I hope that everyone enjoys what I've written. Please feel free to send me a comment/suggestion good/bad/indifferent. I appreciate all feedback! Bright Blessings!
