There's always somethin'

Y'know, the last few days I've been feeling a little under the weather. I think I've got a stomach virus or something because everything I eat makes my gut twist and ache from stabbing pains. Ouch! I haven't been able to workout properly and feel really weak, too. I ho…

THE RUNAWAY by Angela McAllister

Megan, frightened, guilty, and running from everything she’s ever known. When Megan arrives at what she believes to be a deserted mansion, she encounters the mysterious Marguerite, blind and despised, with only two silent, watchful owls as her companions. Her eyes. Megan and Marguerite co…

Thinking out loud...

I've got a lot going on inside my head. Actually, there's been a lot going on in there during the last few days. I've had a few things to think about. A few things that were bugging me. As a result, I spent most of yesterday just thinking about it and hardly did much of an…

A muddle of thoughts

Anyway. How are you all today? We've reached the mid-week mark once again. Yikes, we seem to get here at least once a week, don't we? ;) I don't mind. It means that the weekend with hubby is only a few days away. It also means that in eight days... my daughter goes back to sc…

New week, new words

Today...

I feel wonky. Not 100% and a little restless. It's nothing to worry about. It happens every now and then. It's just one of those things that comes with the territory, and as long as I ride it out, it'll be over soon. Anyway. I plan to take some more notes on that new ide…

PATIENT ZERO by Jonathan Maberry

Police officer Joe Ledger, martial arts expert, ex-army and self-confessed brutal warrior is scared. The man he's just killed is the same man he killed a week ago. He never expected to see the man again, definitely not alive and definitely not as part of the recruitment process for th…

I CAN SEE YOU by Karen Rose

FLOOD by Stephen Baxter

Next year. Sea levels begin to rise. The change is far more rapid than any climate change predictions; metres a year. Within two years London, only 15 metres above the sea, is drowned. New York follows, the Pope gives his last address from the Vatican, Mecca disappears beneath the waves. …

A little iMPACT!

I've mentioned it here before, but I used to be a huge wrestling fan. It all started when I was a kid, and got into WrestleMania . I used to love watching Hulk Hogan , Roddy Piper , Bret Hart , and so many others. It was fun, exciting, and even had some surprises. Sure, it was always…
