I know, I know.  Longest wait ever for new content.  This site is not dead, I am a Sailor in the Canadian Navy and a new father and sometimes the demands of my work and home life mean that I don’t have any time or creative energy left.  I can’t promise scheduled content so go ahead and hit subscribe and you will be notified by email when a new post is live.  Read on and enjoy the next Multiversal Yarn, please share your comment and if you enjoyed reading this story, forward it on to a friend that you think would enjoy it as well.

We went through a battery of titles to present the product with: DR. Love was deemed too derivative, DR. Cupid was too cutesy, DR. Fix-up sounded like an after school TV program.
