An Alternative Career?

I’ve been itching to do this little quiz for a while now. Was disbelieving when I saw the first set of results, so did it again varying some of the answers, and I’m still typecast as …..

You Should Be a Film Writer

You don’t just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a […]

To Flash or Not

Yeah, I know I promised to talk about Kinley McGregor’s book in the next post, but while surfing the web Monday, I came across Sybil’s post on Flash ads and decided to pick up on where she left off. 
You see, one of my key projects this year involve rolling out the new corporate design for […]

Sojourns in Camelot

Besides Cast’s Goddess Summoning series, the other books that held me spellbound last week were Sarah Zettel’s Paths to Camelot series, specifically Camelot’s Honor and Under Camelot’s Banner, and Kinley McGregor’s Knight of Darkness (next post, I promise). 
If you have an inkling of my love of Arthurian saga and Greek myths, it wouldn’t be hard […]

Ugly is the New Beautiful in 2007

Having caught three episodes of Ugly Betty on local TV, I’m more than ready to put my stamp of approval on this quirky drama comedy about a plain-looking but intelligent, confident and resourceful young woman starting out on her career in the superficial world of high fashion publishing. 
What I dig about this show is the […]

Goddess of the Rose

First of all, I have to applaud P C Cast for standing up for romance writers and readers in this book with that paragraph that she had Mikki, the heroine, deliver to the myopic blind date. Bravo!! I say. 
That bit about romance novels outselling all other genres of writing, that statistic about one Nora Roberts […]

New Additions

Congratulate me for being the proud owner of
 
Nalini Singh’s Slave to Sensation
Kinley MacGregor’s Knight of Darkness, which I’ve already finished,
 
  
 
Jessica Inclan’s Reason to Believe and Believe in Me (thanks so much, Jessica!! It arrived safely.)
  
Aren’t these covers eye-catching? I love Felix’s haunting turquoise eyes.
 
And (drumroll please ….) I made a reservation at the local bookstore […]

Bespelled by Cast’s Goddesses

In case you’re wondering at the silence, I’ve just been too immersed in the wonderful world of P C Cast’s brilliant Goddess Summoning series, and Camelot (Zettel) and Avalon (Sherrilyn Kenyon writing as Kinley MacGregor) — and I’ve been enjoying a long streak of good reading karma – that I simply couldn’t tear myself away from […]

The Gentleman Caller, The Scot and The Witch

One of the surprise finds I took along to Tokyo was The Gentleman Caller by Megan Chance, the other was The Scot, The Witch and The Wardrobe by Annette Blair. 

The Gentleman Caller is set in 19th century New Orleans where traditions and societal strictures still hold sway, and voodoo is still secretly practiced. The gentleman […]
