It’s May (in case you hadn’t noticed), and that means time to look back at all the April stories and see which ones came in like a lion…
Top Stories for April
The stories that received the most lightning bolts for April were Thriller Thursday’s Corruption’s Kiss by Margaret Graber and Techno Tuesday’s Words by Katherine Vinson.
