Whats Happening Lately

Well this morning I finally got around to signing up for Runforyourlives.com 5k zombie obsticle course. I knew what the premise was all about but then (after I signed up) I started looking at some of the images online and this is what popped up...

WHAT WAS I THINKING? I just have to face the fact that I'm probably going to be infected by the end of it.

I'm currently having a GIVEAWAY!

Over the weekend I received an email from the lovely Author, Emily Casey, asking me if I’d like to read and review her novella Cinderella and Zombies. She also approved this GIVEAWAY. How cool of her.

To enter, please go here and signup to participate!

Back in April, Jackie @ Bouquet of Books and I first posted about the

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest 

Why is it perfect?

While Jackie adores the kissing and hand holding scenes, I’m the “give me fat lips and magical dueling any day of the week” type girl, the bloodier the better. Though Jackie also likes fight scenes; I HATE to write love scenes. I find it difficult to get in touch with my soft side. This blogfest forces many of us to work on other scenes that we may not like and make them shine.

Also what happens after a good argument? - Making up!

Share your 1^st FIGHT and 1^st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss.


If you’re not a writer, please share with us your real life firsts. We want to read and experience them all!

The First Fight/First Kiss blogfest will go as such: 

• Post 1 will be on Tuesday, June 12 - Share with us your 1st FIGHT scene on your blog. It can be physical or verbal, fists or magic. Whichever you want to share.
• Post 2 will be on Thursday, June 14 - Share with us your 1st KISS scene on your blog. It can be a peck on the cheek or a full fledge kissing session. Whatever you would like to tell us.

First Loves Blogfest

Today is the First Loves Blogfest! Your first movie, first music (song/band,) first book, and first person. Four loves, one blogfest! Hosted by Alex J. Cavanaugh

E.T.

Circa 1982 – I was 4 or 5. I know. I was young but I remember it as if it was yesterday. My parents thought it was wise to take me and my younger cousin to the theaters and subject us to our First Alien. We were the same age so when I cried, he cried. When he laughed, I laughed. And so on.

Lord of the Flies

I HATED reading in my youth and thought it was the adults way of torture. But once I placed my attention in the pages of this classic, I was hooked. Kids stranded on an island, killing animals and each other to stay alive. This is one I’m torturing making my kids read.

Beatles

My parents raised me on their taste in music and at a young age I fell in love with this band. Mopped tops, poetic voices, and swagger. If John was still walking this Earth, I’d be two stepd behind. Seriously!

My kids

What can I say? I always thought I found love in High School but never really found it until I held my first baby in my arms. Weighing in at 7lbs 8oz, he was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. My heart never really knew love until that day and every time since.
