Kate Sutter, the narrator of Scavengers, has been a busy little bee-word. She got a blog all set up for the Lesbian Adventure Club.

Best of luck. Kaboom!
For birthdays, we light birthday candles, not Roman Candles.
Happy Birthday. Kaboom!
On Christmas, we hang mistletoe, not sparking, popping Dart Wheels.
Merry Christmas. Kaboom!

Congratulations. Kaboom!
