Valentine's Day, Book Recommendation & Update

Image
By
Happy Tuesday All,

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I was a busy little bee this weekend. Offspring had a game, then I had to do some spring/summer wardrobe shopping, and Sunday was Church and relaxation.

The answer to the question about if there is any news on the contracted novel is that when there is something I can share I will post it here.

If you've been watching my Twitter Feed (whether following me on Twitter or checking the margin of this blog) you might have seen some posts where I recommended books. For all of you who missed them, here's the recommendations I made for Valentine's Day:

I started out with Historical Romance...

Friday's Child by Georgette Heyer (probably my number 2 favorite Heyer novel)

If you're into Fairy Tales, I mentioned this YA:

Beastly by Alex Flinn

Sassy Fiction...

The Secret Ingredient by Jane Heller

I even touched on Mid-grade...

Betsy's Wedding by Maud Hart Lovelace (but I recommend reading the others in that series, first).

For all you YA Fans looking for a tissue-box book...

Until Death Do Us Part by Lurlene MacDaniel

I did not forget the Vampire fans...

Love At Stake Series by Kerrelyn Sparks

Elemental Mysteries by Elizabeth Hunter

Nocturne by Syrie James

I also put in this Greek Mythology inspired novel (which I love, by the way)...

Cupid by Julius Lester

I also made some movie recommendations:

I Hate Valentine's Day (funny movie)

I also recommend You've Got Mail, but only because that was the movie real life hero (husband) and I were watching when he proposed to me.

The good thing about these books and movies...it doesn't have to be February 14th for you to enjoy them...they're fun anytime of the year.

What would you recommend for a Valentine's Day read and/or movie?

Have A Terrific Tuesday!

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

By
Good Evening One & All, Shakespeare wrote in Romeo & Juliet, "What's in a name?...A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Disney talked about names in Aladdin in the lyrics, "Better get a nom de plume ." (the song, "One Jump"). So, for a writer, what does a nom de plume (or, pen name) say about the author? It could be a different spelling of the author's name, it could be a name that has a significance. They could keep their first name, but change the last, or change both. A pen name is also the name a writer will write under for his or her books. The name that his or her readers will recognize them. The name on the autographs and the one where people will say, "Oh yes, that's so and so, they wrote..." Some authors write under their own names. Others, for a variety of reasons, choose a pen name. What about you? Are you considering a pen name? What have you looked at when thinking of your nom de plume ? For myself, I...

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

By
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...

Gregori Celebrates My Birthday

By
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...
