A Fin-Ish Delight

Happy Tuesday All,

A good story always makes me extremely happy. I love being taken to "another world" so to speak (whether it's actual other world, or just the author's world).

The other day I finished reading Forgive My Fins by Tera Lynn Childs. This book makes me so happy. It was a lot fun, plus there was enough romantic scenes to make a mushy romantic like me happy.

Forgive My Fins was an extremely fast read for me. I just had trouble putting it down. I started it in the afternoon and finished at 2 a.m. (there long  breaks in between when I had to do other things--like take a nap, and be with my family). Awesome book and I just can't wait until I get to read the sequel.

In Forgive My Fins, Lily (Princess Waterlily when under the sea) is half-mermaid/half-human (merman for a dad, human for a mom). For 14 years she lived in her father's kingdom, until her dad finally told her that her mother (who died when Lily was still a baby) was a human. So, Lily's made her way onto land, to live with her mother's sister, Rachel.

As heir to the throne, Lily has to choose a mate--that is, kiss a boy and that starts the bonding process. Lily has the perfect boy in mind--swimming wonder Brody Bennett. He's comfortable in the water and on land, gorgeous, and her knight-in-shining armour.

Unfortunately Lily is plagued (and thwarted in her goal) by next-door-neighbor motorcycle bad-boy, Quince Fletcher. Quince doesn't care what others think of him and thinks Lily shouldn't either. But Lily sees Quince as an annoyance, a real "blowfish".

But what happens in a dark library will change everything. Including what Lily thought she saw in those around her.

This is a fun YA Fantasy (with comedy sprinkled liberally) that I've fallen for hook, line, and sinker. I'm very excited to read the sequel and I love Tera Lynn Childs' breezy style. So get your tail fins over to your nearest bookstore and hook yourself a copy. Last one there is a guppy!

Have A Tantalizing Tuesday!

Sound adorable,Bethany! MJ Davidson said that she got wind that the next wave, (no pun intended on my part), the "new vampires" would be mermaids...guess she was right.[They were going to re-issue her "Fred" series.]I'm glad someone put something cute out, especially for for the kids, (which hers cetainly are not). I woke up this morning thinking ofthe Ghost Girl books.I guess I'm ripe for a YA series!
I'll have to look this one up.Thanks.

Tonette,

It's awesome! Yeah, I read somewhere that another author said something about mermaids being the next big thing--but I can't quite remember where I saw that. Thanks for dropping by :-)

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...

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: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
