Miniseries DVD Reporting

Happy Tuesday Folks,

Normally I don't do a DVD report, but I'm currently really into one. Which one, you ask? BBC's North And South based on the book by Elizabeth Gaskell. (starring Daniela Denby-Ashe and Richard Armitage).

At first I was uncertain as to what to think of the movie. I found it rather depressing. Then, as the storyline further unfolded and I watched John Thornton fall in love with Margaret Hale I got into it and thought, "Oh my gosh!"

To put it simply: I fell in love with it.

If you like period films don't be surprised if you end up liking this one. There's just something about it.

I haven't read the book, yet, but it's my intention to do so.

By the way, a big thank you and hug goes to my sister who gave me the DVD as a very early birthday present. Thanks, sis, I really like it! :-)

Have A Terrific Tuesday!

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me:  In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta:  I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me:  You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...
