• O is for Oingo-Boingo


    Ever see the movie Back to School?

    Remember this band? They were playing LIVE at the dorm party.

    This song/video just makes me laugh. The big hair. Eyeliner. And and not to mention Rodney Dangerfield’s bug eyes, huh? He’s sort of twitchy.

     

  • N is for Nickelback


    I found this group through my sweet hubby. The tone is so AWAITED, and my hubby hasn’t even read it yet! LOL

    Russell’s struggling with his purpose now that Beka has found her mate. . . He’d been by her side as her friend, brother, protector for so long.

    So, when I heard this song a few lines really stuck out to me for Russell.

    Let nothing stand in your way

    Each day’s a gift not a given right

    Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind

    Live each moment like it was your last

    Every second counts!!!

    Heck, those apply to us, don’t they? It’s a nice reminder to be living life instead of worrying about the past or what is to come.

  • A Few From the Shoot…


    Last week I experienced something I never thought I would.

    Oh heck, what I haven’t thought I’d ever experience ANY of this writing/author thing–but this was just plain fun.

    And scary.

    And exciting.

    And tiring.

    Okay, you get my drift.

    Here are a few photos from my very first EVER photo shoot.

    I mean, there was a make-up artist and everything. The amazing ORI BROWN did my make-up and hair. Did you know her name means LIGHT? I mean, HOW PERFECT.

    If you’ve read Wasteland, you’ll know what I mean by that. 🙂 If you haven’t read it, run out and get it, because AWAITED (book 2) comes out in May and one of these pictures will be on the back of the book.

    Now, this was quite an experience for someone who doesn’t even own a hair dryer.

    Yes, you read right.

    Since the photo shoot, I’ve gone out and purchased one, but for the previous four years before that…yeah, no hair dryer in the Rush household.

    Bonnie Adams the amazing photographer did a great job helping a newbie like me to the point of moving my hand to where it had to be, or my feet. Until I got the hang of it.

    I am so grateful for her patience.

    And for my publicity dynamo team: DM and Doug Collins. They take GREAT care of me.
