Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Etc...,

Morning All,

Yesterday I didn't have time to blog because I had to head out of the house to get to my parents' house to go get my hair done. When we [my mom & I] got back my younger brother and his fiancee had arrived [they also brought their little dog with them] so my son and I stayed over there for several hours. When we got back I had to eat dinner, then we headed out for the rest of the evening. Didn't get back until after 10 p.m. I was pretty tired last night.

Today I'm planning on baking gingerbread (yum yum). Possibly do some muffins (although from a box, not from scratch. When I was at the grocery store I couldn't remember what I'd need for my from-scratch cinnamon muffins, so I bought box mixes).

Because the story from Friday didn't get further than Janice staring out the window at the snow I decided to nix that idea for now. Maybe I'll save it for the New Year.

I'm not sure what's on my plate for the rest of the week, but I think I'll let myself take some time off to spend with family and friends near me. (Maybe even get some writing in!)

But I do hope whatever holiday you're celebrating that you have a wonderful, safe and blessed one. Have a happy, safe and blessed New Year, as well, if I don't get on to post before then.

Have A Wonderful Week, Weekend & Happy Holidays!

Get Thee A Nom De Plume!

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

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...
