Rainy weather = miserable mood

Yeah, it does. Especially when for some reason, you start getting sharp, stabbing pains in your stomach shortly after dinner. Mind you, I ate the same thing as both hubby and daughter, but neither one of them was affected. Just lucky me. *insert sarcasm here* I think it might've…

MIA for a few days...

Yeah. Sometimes, time slips away before I get a chance to blog. :/ This week's going pretty fast. This is the third day of my daughter's first week of school holidays. So far, hubby's been coming home early, so we've been doing stuff together. Which is super cool. Toda…

THE RENFIELD SYNDROME by J.A. Saare

Vampires, and werewolves, and demons, oh my. Rhiannon thought facing off against a deranged child vampire was the most dangerous task she would ever have to undertake, but she's about to discover making a deal with a demon is far, far worse. Sent forward into another reality, one…

Plans & planning

We are officially all caught up with Burn Notice . Yay! I can't wait to see what happens next. This is such a great show!  So, what else have I been doing? Well, I've been hard at work on Recast #3 . Every chance I got, I added new words. I just crossed the 15k mark this mor…

SOMETHING SECRET THIS WAY COMES by Sierra Dean

Some secrets are dangerous. This Secret is deadly. Secret McQueen, Book 1 For Secret McQueen, her life feels like the punch line for a terrible joke. Abandoned at birth by her werewolf mother, hired as a teen by the vampire council of New York City to kill rogues, Secret is a part of bo…

Hey!

How was everyone's weekend? Mine was great. There was a lot of walking, some lovely meals, excellent company, lotsa reading, and much Burn Notice watching. That's right. We were really behind, so we decided to catch up on Season 4 . We had heaps of eps to watch, but manage…

MILE 81 by Stephen King

At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded up rest stop, a place where high school kids drink and get into the kind of trouble high school kids have always gotten into. It's the place where Pete Simmons goes when his older brother heads off to the gravel pit to play 'paratroope…

BLACK BLADE BLUES by JA Pitts

Sarah Beauhall has more on her plate than most twenty-somethings: day job as a blacksmith, night job as a props manager for low-budget movies, and her free time is spent fighting in a medieval re-enactment group. The lead actor breaks Sarah’s favorite one-of-a-kind sword, and to avoid re…

TGIF

Yeah. This has been a weird week. Not a real busy one, because I didn't really give myself any deadlines to meet, but I did do a lot of cleaning, reshuffling, moving, recycling, and reorganising of my bookshelves and writing stuff. Phew. There was a lot to organise, but at …

THE BROKEN ONES by Stephen M. Irwin

It's the near future and the world has descended into chaos. On the surface, everything looks the same yet the unthinkable has happened...the dead have risen. Everyone is haunted by a dead relative, friend, spouse, or stranger, and these spirits are unshakable, silent and watching. N…

Spring Cleaning

Yeah. Every year, around this time, I get the itch to start 'sorting' through... things . My bookshelves get reorganised, my writing stuff gets shuffled and filed in a different way, we go through the kitchen, living room, and anywhere else that might need attention. Then we de…

I need an umbrella today

Well, the rain held out all of yesterday, but it's here today. :( We had to buy a new fridge last night. Yeah, it seems like all of our appliances are dying this year. To be fair, though, we've had this fridge since we moved in here... and that was almost 13 years ago. So it di…

KINDLING THE MOON by Jenn Bennett

Meet Arcadia Bell: bartender, renegade magician, fugitive from the law. . . . Being the spawn of two infamous occultists (and alleged murderers) isn’t easy, but freewheeling magician Arcadia “Cady” Bell knows how to make the best of a crummy situation. After hiding out for seven years, s…

Where's the week gone?

Really, I have been busy this week! ;) I actually worked on the second round of edits for my upcoming Alyce Kerr spin-off book, SINFUL . It stars Sebastian Morrow , and a new heroine with too many secrets. Yeah, I like reading and writing about secrets. lol. Anyway, I managed…

A BRUSH OF DARKNESS by Allison Pang

The man of her dreams might be the cause of her nightmares. Six months ago, Abby Sinclair was struggling to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Now, she has an enchanted iPod, a miniature unicorn living in her underwear drawer, and a magical marketplace to manage. But despite her g…

Ouch!

Last night, I was sitting on the end of my bed reading with the kitty sitting beside me, when it suddenly felt like something had gotten in my eye. I assumed it was an eyelash, because I often have one of my thick eyelashes falling into my eye and then struggle to get it out. This time, …

Some Things are very Frustrating...

Haven't had a chance to blog the last few days. To be honest, hubby and I were going through a very frustrating time. I'll keep it brief, because I'm trying to forget about what happened, and how some companies don't give a crap about their customers. :/ /start rant …
