Hi.

Welcome to This Awful/Awesome Life! My name is Frances Joyce. I am the publisher and editor of this magazine. We'll be exploring different topics each month to inform, entertain and inspire you. Meet new authors, sharpen your brain and pick up a few tips on life, love, entertaining and business. Enjoy and please share!

My online magazine, thisawfulawesomelife.com

Please share until Sam is found and reunited with her family and friends.

Gotta love grunge when your name is Lanegan.
