For ages, Eddie Drood and his family have kept humanity safe from the things that go bump in the night. But now one of his own has convinced the rest of the family that Eddie’s become a menace, and that humanity needs to be protected from him. So he’s on the run, using every trick in the …

*yawn* So, do you stress about titles? I do, especially last night. You see, the trilogy that I'm working on right now happens to follow straight after another trilogy. Same world, some same characters, new characters, new narrators for each one. Basically, it expands on the wor…

So, did you check out the Transformers trailer yet? Man, you've gotta. I've seen it heaps of times already, but never seem to get enough. I absolutely LOVED the first movie and from the start knew that they were either going to release a shitty, boring, try-hard movie, or an o…

Well, we managed to do our weights workout on Monday night and last night as well. Which means that today is our day off. Then, it's back to it tomorrow and Friday. I'm a little bit sore, but in a good way. :) The hubby had a day off work yesterday, so I didn't add any new …

So, we went to the hairdresser on Saturday. I was long overdue for a trim. You see, I've got naturally wavy hair, and it's thick too. So, if I don't get it layered every few months, the layers grow out and I end up with really messy (bushy) hair. Now, I've got my layers b…

Orphaned and in her uncle's care, fiercely independent Quincie may be the most over-achieving high-school student around, but even she has her hands full with a hybrid-werewolf boyfriend and the opening of Sanguini's, her hip vampire-themed restaurant, which turns out to have way …

Except for Sookie Stackhouse, folks in Bon Temps, Louisiana, know little about vamps—and nothing about weres. Until now. The weres and shifters have finally decided to reveal their existence to the ordinary world. At first all goes well. Then the mutilated body of a were-panther is found …

Ugh! The rain is starting to annoy me as much as my runny nose. :/ It's coming down so hard - the rain, that is - that several places in QLD and Northern NSW are flooding. That's not a good thing. Doesn't it suck that you can never get a nice dose of whatever weather you need…

Libby Day was just seven years old when her older brother massacred her family while she hid in a cupboard. Her evidence helped put him away. Ever since then she has been drifting, surviving for over twenty years on the proceeds of the 'Libby Day fund'. But now the money is runnin…

It's totally yuck! outside today. I swear, it's been raining since yesterday afternoon - after the sun popped out for about an hour or two - and poured all last night. :( It's going to make it really hard on my morning walk. I missed out on the puddles yesterday, but have a …

Uh... because I absolutely *loved* the finale episode, and you can never have too much Winchester picture goodness, I'm going to be posting a Dean, Sam or Dean & Sam pic all week. I know no one will complain about that. :D Well, we woke up to a yucky, dark, and very rainy day.…

The People of Sparks picks up where The City of Ember leaves off. Lina and Doon have emerged from the underground city to the exciting new world above, and it isn’t long before they are followed by the other inhabitants of Ember. The Emberites soon come across a town where they are welcom…

As you can probably tell... we watched the SUPERNATURAL season finale over the weekend. And wow, awesome! I *love* this show so much. How are we supposed to go without it for several months? Especially since it ended in such a cliffhanger. Still, I was satisfied with several thin…

Ever wonder who was the first kid to keep a wallet on a big chunky chain, or wear way-too-big-pants on purpose? What about the mythical first guy who wore his baseball cap backwards? These are the Innovators, the people on the very cusp of cool. Seventeen-year-old Hunter Braque’s job is f…

A mysterious epidemic holds the city in its thrall and the chaos is contagious—black oil spews from fire hydrants, rats have taken over brooklyn, and every day, more people disappear. but all that matters to pearl, Moz, and Zahler is their new band. they ignore the madness around them and…

And this is my first real post this week. :/ On Monday, the hubby had a day off. So, we had a nice time together while my daughter was at school. Then we had a doctor's appointment that afternoon. I didn't do any writing and hardly any Internet stuff either. Then yesterday, I …

Stephanie led a pretty quiet existence until her uncle died. Not only did he leave her his mansion, he left her a new best friend—Skulduggery Pleasant, a skeleton detective (sorry, a supernatural skeleton detective)—who waltzes into her life for keeps. Now she's acquiring magical powe…

The supernatural community in Bon Temps, Louisiana is reeling from two hard blows: the natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the manmade horror of the explosion at the vampire summit in the up-north city of Rhodes. Sookie Stackhouse is safe but dazed and she's yearning for things …

A year ago, Cal Thompson was a college freshman more interested in meeting girls and partying than in attending biology class. Now, after a fateful encounter with a mysterious woman named Morgan, biology has become, literally, Cal’s life. Cal was infected by a parasite that has a truly ho…

It was so cold this morning that I had a hard time getting out of bed. Lol. Still, I rolled out just after 4am and started the day with hubby. My daughter has just woken up (@ 7am) and is very impatiently waiting for her breakfast. Still, I thought I'd sneak in a blog post before …

It seems that (un)life is going pretty well for Zoey Redbird. She's settled in at the House of Night finishing school and is coming to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her. She even has a boyfriend...or two. Best of all, Zoey finally feels she has found s…

I feel really tired this morning. Almost as if sleep didn't do anything to help me rest during the night. :/ It sucks when you wake up tired, doesn't it? We've been doing a lot more working out and even more walking than usual, so I guess that explains why I'm usu…

The Adamantine Palace lies at the centre of an empire that grew out of ashes. Once dragons ruled the world and man was little more than prey. Then a way of subduing the dragons alchemicly was discovered and now the dragons are bred to be little more than mounts for knights and highly valu…
