    1. What a blast to the First Amendment! The first thing they do is shut down the press and imprison the intellectuals.

    2. The Sphinxes eyes stay closed, until someone who does not feel his own worth tries to pass by.

    3. I’m rooting for the crocodile. I hope he swallows your friends whole. You might want to arrest me for that too. Is that a crime? To wish the chewing of law enforcement?

    4. Oh, this is disgusting. It’s all over and it’s… It’s sticky and… We’re going to need some kind of cleaning fluid to get this off.

  • Cover Reveal: #AWAITED

    February 7, 2012 /


    Thank you Jeannie Rueschand Crescent Moon Pressfor this beautiful cover!


    ~~~~~~

    The voice is a powerful thing…

     

    Synopsis from Goodreads:

    Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark.

    He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon-her voice.

    January 27, 2012 /


    Okay, so this is my first time doing this, and it looks totally fun. So, let’s see if I get this right.

    The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts,Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s ViewandAlison of Alison Can Read.

    This week’s question is:

    Which book genre do you avoid at all costs and why?

    I have to tell you, I work pretty hard to avoid historical fiction. No offense meant toward historical fiction writers or readers. It’s just not my thing. Maybe it was because I sucked at history in school? Not really sure, but it just doesn’t seem to have enough action to hold my attention.

    How ’bout you? Which genre do you avoid at all costs?

    I have a “follow by email” option on the right sidebar, so feel free to sign up. We have a lot of fun here talking movies, music, books, and…well, random things.

  • You Never Know….

    January 17, 2012 /


    One day last week, I got an email that pretty much rocked my world.

    In a good way.

    Here it is (minus any names or things like that):

    Hi!I finally read Wasteland, and you know what? I fell in love with it. Beautiful story, beautiful written. I can’t wait for ‘awaited’ to be released. Thank you for writing this amazing book

    I read it once, twice, even a third time, and then the tears welled. Yep, even trickled down my cheek. For someone to take the time out to send an email…they just don’t even know how much that impacts the person receiving that note.

    This email got me thinking, though. How often do I stop and send an encouraging note to someone? Whether it’s about some good service I received at a restaurant, or a helpful customer service person on the phone…Maybe it would be exactly what they needed to hear at that very moment.

    Like this email was for me.

    In the hustle and bustle of the day in and day out, we can never forget how much our words influence people. They can lift someone up or knock them down.

    I’d rather lift up. Encourage.

    So thank you, dear reader, for taking the time to send me a note. I value each one I get and am so thankful for them!
