M/M Monday…The Last King of Scotland

Movie:  The Last King of Scotland (2006)…  I LOVE Forest Whitaker, and my hubby is a serious history buff, so anything that combines the two is usually a no-brainer in my house.  Usually.  I have to say, while Whitaker’s portrayal of Idi Amin was fabulous, and definitely deserving of the Oscar, the movie itself left something [...]

Freaky Location Friday…Rome

So if you read my last post, you know that we arrived in Rome pleasantly buzzed and ready to see the sights. 
We got off the train and decided to do the same thing we had in Venice…troll the train station for hoteliers trying to get rid of the last of their rooms.  We finally settled [...]

Okay, I know I’ve been *ahem* altered, before…

but this really takes the cake.  Seriously, the dude was obviously sober enough to crawl up on the horse’s back and ride away from wherever he and his bud were partying.  What, on God’s green earth, would make you get back down?
But the biggest question looming in my puny little brain is…who in the heck [...]

What’s Going on With Me Wednesday…

I had an excellent writing week even though I only truly wrote for two days…I got a grand total of 6100 words done, and I’m pretty pleased with what I’ve written.  It needs a bit of fleshing out, yeah, but that’ll only add to my word count in the end when I do my rewrites.  [...]

TABT, The Scent of Shadows by Vicki Pettersson

Yippeee, I’ve found another author to put on auto-buy!  This development *always* makes me happy!  Okay, here’s the blurb, and then I’ll gush:  When she was sixteen, Joanna Archer was brutally assaulted and left to die in the Nevada desert.  By all rights, she should be dead.  Now a photographer by day, she prowls a [...]

Manic Monday…

Have you ever had one of those Mondays?  You know, where nothing seems to go right, and you just wish you’d stayed in bed?  Well, today that’s been me.  Got up to the beautiful drone of the alarm, showered and all that good stuff, then went to dry my hair…and got squat.  The damned hairdryer [...]

Thought to Ponder Thursday…Kurt Vonnegut RIP

By now many of you have heard that Kurt Vonnegut passed away yesterday.  What a tragic, tragic loss.  Whether you followed his non-conformist school of thought or not, he was a visionary when it came to expression.  Breakfast of Champions was my favorite work of his, although I’ve proudly got copies of BoC, Bluebeard, Galapagos, [...]

What’s Going on With Me Wednesday

Life has been kinda interesting the last week… 
Today I’m chatting with a private newsletter group (and praying I’m not sounding like an ass), but in between the flurry of questions & answers, I’m working on both View and Sea of Dreams.  Not sure what happened this weekend, but suddenly I was inspired on both [...]

TABT…Rogue Angel–Destiny by Alex Archer

Archaeologist and explorer Annja Creed’s fascination with the myths and mysteries of the past leads her to a crypt in the caves of France, where the terrifying legend of the Beast of Gevaudan hints at the unimaginable.  What she discovers is shattering: an artifact that will seal her destiny; a brotherhood of monks willing to [...]
