St. Patrick Green

By Anonymous
Happy Thursday All,

A very Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. Hope you're wearing something green!

As far as I know, there's no Irish in my blood; but I do have an appreciation for the Irish people--I've met a few and they're fun, funny and wonderful folks.

There's often a lot of myth associated with St. Patrick, but EWTN.com tries hard to give factual information about this elusive man (who was a real person, by the way). Wikepedia has some information as well.  The Catholic Encyclopedia also has information on St. Patrick.

So what green thing are you wearing today?

Have A Tip Top Thursday!

It's Thursday. That means I'm wearing my green hospital volunteer uniform today. Don't even have to think about it.

Although the biggest ethnic influence in my life was my mother's northern Italian link,(even though she was born here, her parents and oldest siblings were born in Umbria and Italian was her first language), we cannot escape our father's mostly Irish heritage, as we resemble that ide more(!).
My sister and I both use our maiden name,"Joyce" when we write, since we not only started writing before we maried but gee, no-brainer...if anyone wanted to make a mental connection,why not?
Did you know that the poet Joyce Kilmer,("I think that I shall never see a poem as lovely as a tree..."),was realted to James Joyce(we can't prove a connection ourselves) and that "Joyce" is actually his middle name?
We figure, if we come by it naturally,why not use it?
We will gladly acceot you into the fold today, Bethany, (or any day!) Glad to see 'the wearin' of the green' is in full force. This morning the German bank teller was also in green!
I hope everyone has a fun, and blessed day, as this is a day of quiet relection, church and visiting relatives in Ireland.

Susan,

Thanks for dropping by. Good for you on both counts--volunteering at a hospital (I commend you for that) and wearing green :-)

Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

By Anonymous
Happy Tuesday All, ****CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED**** In honor of my birthday (that was on Oct. 15th) I am doing TWO give aways! The FIRST one is TODAY!  Today's give away is a copy of Kerrelyn Sparks' Sexiest Vampire Alive . Kerrelyn, being the awesome person that she is, has agreed to give a signed copy of the novel to ONE lucky commenter on my blog. Here's how it's going to work and please read all instructions CAREFULLY. ONE entry PER person : If you choose to email in your entry: Email to this email ONLY .  Your email should state who your favorite vampire is. And no, it does NOT have to be one of Kerrelyn Sparks' characters, but that would be really cool if you DID mention one of hers. If you choose to enter by commenting on my blog: Leave your FIRST name, email address, and what vampire is your favorite. It can be ANY vampire--but like I said, it would be really cool if you mention a Kerrelyn Sparks' vampire. You don't know Kerrelyn Spa...

Happy Friday Everybody, THE CONTEST PORTION OF THIS AUTHOR INTERVIEW IS NOW OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Finally! I get to post the interview with Kerrelyn Sparks . I was planning to last Friday, but unfortunately my computer had issues. I have been enjoying Kerrelyn's books for awhile now, but I had the pleasure of meeting her recently at one of her book signings.

Not only do you get this awesome interview to read, but if you leave a comment in the comment section (with your first name and email address--I won't be able to contact you if you're the winner if you don't leave your email address) I'll put your name and email address in my contest box for Friday night's drawing for a chance to win Kerrelyn Sparks' Be Still My Vampire Heart . Below (after the interview) you'll see the rules of how to enter, please read them carefully. So...
