"Have you ever attended a
holiday party where you bump into the one person who's always been there for you throughout the last year? You’d want to thank them for
being incredibly stellar, right? If there’s one person in
the Blogosphere who you would want to say
cheers to, who would it be? For us, it was a
no-brainer - Alex 'no hyperlink
needed' Cavanaugh!
Without being asked, Alex has become a blogging enigma, always helping hundreds of his fellow authors by announcing book releases, hosting guest posts, guest interviews and always leaving positive comments. We can’t have a live party for the Ninja Captain, but we can host a yuletide BlogFest!"

Because Alex is one of my closest blog friends, I joined the fest. My contribution follows.

Jillian (living or dead). Understudy: Hillary Clinton (only if still living).

Mr. Wilson from Home Improvement. He's worldly, always there, wise, and you never see his face - though I imagine he resembles Rico Suave.

His talent and care
Make Alex a star
Chewing Hot Tamales
While strummin' his guitar
Captain Ninja's never too far!
He calms you when you're hurried.
He helps you to believe.
When fraught with insecurity,
No fear! Join his I-W-S-G!
You full of self-doubt and not gonna lie?
Wanna soar a Cosbolt but too chicken to fly?
Who needs Santa when we have Cavanaugh?
Bonus points, in +/-40 words, comment to Mrs. Cavanaugh to thank her for sharing Alex:
Dear Mrs. Cavanaugh, thank you for sharing Alex's time with us. And you're welcome for my annual Halloween Erotica post. Wink, wink.
