I have the pleasure of having M.J. Fifield on my blog today with a guest post about inspiration. I just bought her book, Effigy, in ebook format last night. *squee!* So while I read her book, you can read her guest post! Take it away, M.J. The Pewter Pegasus In my hometown, there used to…
Featured Photo Friday
Town’s End has a new family member! We named her Little Bunny Foo Foo, but my husband has dubbed her Little Bunny Poo Poo. I had no idea these little furballs could hold so much! But she happily consumes the plentiful lettuce that’s grown too bitter for my tastes. Everyone loves Foo Foo. Including the…
Bella’s Point Blog Challenge
The header features a public domain image of the Confederate version of the Napoleon cannon pulled from Wikipedia. Elizabeth is celebrating the release of her book, Bella’s Point, by hosting a blog hop/challenge. She wants bloggers to post anything that might interest a reader—informational, educational, fictional, poetic, contemplative…It’s up to them to choose. Her judges…
Featured Photo Friday
Blog wise, I’ve been fairly absent for a week now. I’ve managed to visit some people, but between a birthday party, book-cover photo-shoot, work BBQ, figuring out Lambda expressions and functional programming in Java 8 (aka my job), revising This World Bites, and trying to finish my piece for Elizabeth’s blog challenge…*blink* What was I…
Soulless Cover Reveal
Today, I have the privilege of bringing you the cover of Crystal Collier‘s upcoming book, Soulless. I hope to someday see a color changing cover like Moonless on Crystal’s site (*hint, hint* *wink, wink*), but that might be a bit tricky with the darker title. Enough with my speculation! Here is the cover. Have you…
Featured Photo Friday
While on vacation, I learned that my husband actually looks forward to Featured Photo Friday, and was disappointed when I missed a couple weeks. So after lunch that day, I hopped on the Connector and hit downtown to try my hand at urban photography. I suck at urban photography. But I got a couple of…
Civil War World?
If you haven’t seen, Elizabeth Seckman is hosting a blog challenge to celebrate the release of her book, Bella’s Point. The only prompt is: It was the year 1865… With a prompt like that, how could I not write a story? The tricky part is this: when I write something outside of the Niniers, it’s…
IWSG – Vacation
Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up for the IWSG here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. Writing time is one of those valuable, limited resources. Lately, I’ve been too…
Paying It Forward Blog Hop
I mentioned in my last post that Chrys Fey, author of Hurricane Crimes, tagged me in the Paying it Forward blog hop. Thank you, Chrys! This blog hop consists of four questions: What am I working on? How does my work differ from others of its genre? Why do I write what I write? How…
Not A Romance – WIP No. 2 – This World Bites
Chrys Fey, author of Hurricane Crimes, tagged me in the Pay It Forward blog hop. It was after I’d already drafted this post that I realized the four questions could’ve been integrated. Unfortunately, I haven’t picked my three people yet. As a result, you’ll see more on that at a later date. Last week, I…
