In other news, I watched The Man last night, starring Eugene Levy and Samuel L. Jackson..if you like action adventure comedies, then this one is for you...the comedic banter between Levy and Jackson is hilarious. :)

Loreena McKennitt

Some writers listen to music while the muse is at work...while others say they have to have total silence. I'm not a total silence kind of girl. I like to listen to music while my fingers fly over the keyboard, and depending on my mood or my story I go from artist to artist, album to album.

But one of the top artists that I always listen to while writing, no matter what story I'm writing...it could be a romance paranormal fantasy like Twilight's Kiss...or a Historical Pirate Romance like I'll Be Yours, and I'll still listen to Loreena McKennitt. She has a haunting voice that touches the soul...and always puts me in a creative mood. I still remember dancing to her music when I took dance in highschool, she and Enya were my dance teachers top two artists.
And, if you're a fan of Highlander the Series, you'll remember her music on there. :)

Loreena also happens to be Canadian born...just like me. She still lives in Canada in between her hectic touring schedule. So, take a moment, and check out her music...you won't be disappointed. :)

Steele Loving It!

Louisa's blog entry for today inspired me to make up a similar blog feature...except I thought I'd feature the Remington Steele DVD collection. I haven't finished watching the fourth and fifth seasons yet...but you can't beat watching this classic television show on DVD.

I think this show is a great example of daring to show a female lead that can match the male lead, wit for wit and strength for strength. It was a drama/comedy that had enough romance and adventure to keep fans watching...:) And, since I was just a little kid in the 80's, I'm now rediscovering an old show that's new again.

And with Pierce Brosnan playing the dashing Remington Steele, Stephanie Zimbalist playing the intrepid Laura Holt and Doris Roberts playing the proffessional yet lovable Mildred Krebs how can you be disappointed? :)

Roses and Faeries!

I'm so excited! You might wonder why I titled this post Roses and Faeries...well, it was for a really good reason. My editor Amy Herald and the editor of the Black Rose Line, Robbi Hess were interviewed over at The Wild Rose Press, and Twilight's Kiss is mentioned in the interview...so go and check it out!

Plus, we all know how much faeries love gardens, roses and any other kind of flower. :)

Here's the link:

Interview

A big thanks goes out to my editor Amy Herald, and to Robbi Hess, editor of The Black Rose Line.

If anyone that's reading my blog has submissions that would fit any of the lines at The Wild Rose Press...don't be shy...get those submissions in!

I'll also be at The Romance Studio tonight at 9 pm EST...The Wild Rose Press is having a chat there!

For Crying Out Loud!

No more Stargate SG1. :( This show has been around for almost a decade...and now, to hear that's it's going the way of the dragon...well, it stinks. I thought that it would at least make it to twelve seasons...but ah, well. It hasn't been the same since Richard Dean Anderson left...without Jack, Stargate SG1 has just lost its spirit. I have to say I'm still a fan of the way Stargate SG1 used to be...you know the episodes with Hammond, Janet, Jacob and Jack. Don't get me wrong...I still kept watching because I love the characters of Samantha, Daniel and Teal'c. I guess I'll still have Stargate Atlantis to soften the blow. :)

Okay, enough about Stargate...even though I'm still bummed.

The Wild Rose Press will be having a Cyber Celebration coming up on Sunday, September 10 at 8 pm EST...more details to come. I'd love to see some familiar cyber faces there...hint, hint.

That's all for now.

Josephine Wall's Art

Angel Melodies
Beneath the warm glow of her magic candle tree, and surrounded by the sweet perfume of a carpet of flowers, an angel lovingly strums her enchanted instrument, A host of melodies quite different from each other blend into a pleasing harmony drifting into the fading light. The heavenly sounds will encompass the earth, and thus she hopes to demonstrate how people, although quite different in colour and beliefs, can also blend in peace and harmony, through the universal language of music.

*********************************************************************

As everyone that has been to my website knows...I'm a Josephine Wall Art fan...so I thought I'd post one of her newest paintings along with the story she writes up to go along with it...and encourage the readers of my blog to go and check out her website...it's definitely a soulful experience! You'll be sure to love it...just like I do!

Which Greek Goddess Are You?

You are Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.

After her birth, Zeus was afraid that the

gods would fight over Aphrodite's hand in

marriage so he married her off to the smith

god Hephaestus, the steadiest of the gods. He

could hardly believe his good luck and used

all his skills to make the most lavish jewels

for her. He made her a girdle of finely

wrought gold and wove magic into the filigree

work. That was not very wise of him, for when

she wore her magic girdle no one could resist

her, and she was all too irresistible

already. She loved gaiety and glamour and was

not at all pleased at being the wife of

sooty, hard-working Hephaestus.

Stargate!

Up here in Canada on The Movie Network the season finale of Stargate Atlantis has aired. I won't spoiler it for any of my American friends but let's just say it was one hell of a cliffhanger.
On another related note, I have to say that the character of Ronon Dex has evolved in a good way over the last season. When he first came on I wasn't sure if I liked the character--but the actor has really made him come alive in every way. Jason Momoa is a talent to watch. And, they don't have his character mumbling anymore...thank goodness!

That's all for now!
