Update!

Well, the event over at Sweeter Romantic Notions hit a bump in the road. It will be rescheduled for the first part of December. Yahoo is hoarding messages...and in my case, they seem to be losing my messages. So, for all of you that might have received my post about the two contests I was going to hold...you'll have to take a raincheck for the first part of December. And, hey, at least we'll have Christmas to talk about then...and I'll be able to talk about my short Christmas Love Story, THE PROMISE. Maybe I'll even be able to have an extra contest or two. We must find our silver lining in this....:)

I also have to send out a big thanks to Lisa Dawn for all of the hard work she puts into planning the events for The Wild Rose Press. A thanks also goes out to the people at The Sweeter Romantic Notions Yahoo Group, for inviting us back for the early part of December. :)

Okay, everyone have a good night!

The Long Thin Veil

Wow...this blog entry will mark my 99th post on blogger. Tres cool.



I have fantastic news to report. My All Hallow's Eve/Samhain Story, THE LONG THIN VEIL has been accepted by The Wild Rose Press. I received the contract yesterday. :) It will be a miniature rose, published in The Faery Rose Line. I'm quite excited about this story...it's packed filled with magic and romance, stay tuned for more details. :)

And, on another note, I will be chatting at Sweeter Romantic Notions Yahoo Group tonight between the hours of 8 pm and 10 pm EST. The Wild Rose Press authors will be featured for the entire day. Carol Ann Earhardt and Paty Jager will also be joining me in the 8-10 pm EST time slot. So, if you're already a member of the group, and if not...follow the link below and join! I hope to see you there. I will be running a couple of contests. That alone should get you there...LOL






And, just because I wanted to...I'm going to repost the cover and blurb of Twilight's Kiss...:)

What's Your Celtic Horoscope?

You Are An Ash Tree

You are vivacious and impulsive, which makes you extremely attractive to many. Intelligent and demanding, you don't care much for criticism. You have a ton of ambition and talent, and sometimes money rules your heart. You like to play with fate, and you can be very egotistical and restless. Demanding of attention, you need love and a lot of emotional support.

I thought this would be a fun quiz for Friday...

JERICHO

This new show featuring Skeet Ulrich, Gerald McRaney, and Pamela Reed certainly is one of those 'what ifs' programs. It's not a show that will put you in a happy mood...but it is an eye opener. So far, the writing and the acting has hooked me. Hopefully, this show will last longer than Skeet's last show, Miracles. There hasn't been any biblical references yet, but a town that is facing the kind of grim future that's in store for Jericho...they'll have to rely on some sort of faith to get them through the hard times.

So, what new show or shows are you tuning into this season?

How Vain Are You?

You Are 19% Vain

You don't have a vain bone in your body - almost as a matter of principal. You demand to be judged on who you are, not what you look like.

How Vain Are You?

Here's a fun little quiz for everyone!



The first episode of the seventh season of Gilmore Girls last night was fairly entertaining. Sookie got on my nerves as usual (I apologize to anyone that loves this character) and Luke had a really bad day! YAY! Loved the part where Kirk slammed Taylor's car through Luke's diner! By far that was the best part of the show. Then, we had some pretty sweet moments between Logan and Rory, and Lorelai has finally gotten a clue...she's ditched Luke...let's just hope this sticks and she doesn't go running back to him. :) I think I actually rejoiced at the end when she finally cemented the breakup with Luke by getting him off her ass...by telling him the truth...It was great!

What is Your Life Path Number?

Your Life Path Number is 3

Your purpose in life is to express your unique self. You are a creative and artistic person with an interesting view on life. Witty and outgoing, you enjoy sharing your crazy ideas with anyone who will listen. A total social butterfly, you're the life of any party. In love, you inspire and enchant your partner. You are often an object of fantasy and desire. While you are very talented, you sometimes lack the ambition to put your talents in play. And while your wit carries you a long way, you occasionally use it to mask your true feelings. Your natural abilities can bring you all the success in the world ... if you let them

What Is Your Life Path Number?

I thought this was an interesting quiz... :) The number three does pop up in my life quite frequently, not to mention the fact that I'm the third child...hmm...I guess I just live a 'charmed' life. LOL

Okay blog readers, now it's your turn!

Autumn!

Well, as of September 21st, Autumn was officially here. What are your favorite Autumn memories? I guess mine would be apple picking, looking at all of the beautiful colors of the season, and Thanksgiving. Canada celebrates Thanksgiving in October to celebrate the bountiful harvest...so it's a big event. :)

Ghost Whisperer Part II

Okay, so the season premiere of Ghost Whisperer last night shocked me. I was hoping to the bitter end that Andrea wouldn't really be dead...that it was a dream...but it appears she really is gone... :( It will be interesting to see what sort of direction the show will take now that Melinda's best friend is dead and has passed on into the light...she's gone where even Melinda can't talk to her anymore.

What Color Purple Are You?

Things have been pretty hectic around here...so I'd thought I'd post another quiz for everyone's enjoyment. Have fun!

You Are Lavender

You are a sweet person with a very soft personality. People become easily entranced with you. They seem to glow around you. You have a quiet energy that can keep you active late into the night. Even if you aren't the life of the party, you definitely keep the party going.

What Color Purple Are You?

Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod

Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod in the Highlander Series and now movies, was another one of my inspirations for my hero Lord Sean Sutherland in Twilight's Kiss. :)

Stargate Atlantis is Back!

Season Three of Stargate Atlantis is finally airing up here in Canada on The Movie Network...we had to wait for the new episodes...but at least they're commercial free. :) After months of waiting I was finally able to see the continuation to the cliffhanger season finale of Season Two...only to have No Man's Land end with yes, you guessed it...TO BE CONTINUED. Oh, well, at least the wait is only one week...as opposed to nine months. :)
