So you’re a creative thinker, eh?
Can you figure out what this is?
I’m still guessing myself.
Either these tests are getting harder or I’m getting old…

Olhe os notes.
*looks at notes* i knew there was more of my kind out there :L
OMG! THE NOTES! I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE 😀
What if…?
I snatched this video off of Scott Niven’s blog after I finished reading his Twilight Candleflies collection of short, speculative works. Very well written and entertaining quick reads for older YA and up.
I’m weak in the short story side of writing, so it’s always great to see characters come to life and pull you in with so few pages.
If you’re one of the people who spent weeks thinking “what if” the rapture thing came about, you can read this now without becoming more of a panic case.
Better yet, read it just in case.

Blood Destiny by Tessa Dawn
He is a lethal vampire, bound by an ancient curse. She is an agent of Homeland Security, investigating a dangerous cult. Theirs is a Blood Destiny about to unfold… Descended from the progeny of Celestial Gods and humans, Nathaniel Silivasi is handsome, seductive, and powerful beyond measure: a lethal vampire. Belonging to an ancient civilization that sacrificed its females to the verge of extinction, he is also cursed. Like all the sons of Jadon, he is incapable of producing female offspring and required to sacrifice a first born son as atonement for the sins of his forefathers. He belongs to a modern civilization, yet he is bound by primeval law. When Jocelyn Levi stumbles upon Nathaniel’s pristine mountain valley, she is not prepared for the collision of worlds she is about to encounter. As an agent of the homeland security department, ICE, the beautiful, defiant female has an agenda of her own: to stop the ritualistic slaughter of innocent young women by a human trafficking ring. Little does she know that the evil she seeks is unlike anything she has ever witnessed. She has entered a world of warriors, code, and mystery—where the predators are divided only by degrees of light and shadow, and the dark, handsome stranger who has come to her aid is the most dangerous of all.

Nuclear Hamburger
Or should I say, my possible future as one.
I don’t usually read manuals on anything, whether it be how to take apart a computer or put a piece of furniture together, (I like a good puzzle). Exception being when it’s something new to me entirely, which I then make sure I research to its roots.
When it was about my first born, it goes without saying I had every magazine/website/book/interview and proven-by-history artifact on how to raise a kid. Never did finish researching it all and it’s likely that I will never know everything, even after having another who is in short, a male, mini-me (I’ll likely fear that one more when he gets older). Raising someone who I love more than anything, yet who turned out to be the exact opposite of all my character traits can be daunting. Exceptional trait being his love for reading. (Thank you God!) So I’ll work with learn-on-the-go being the only option. But figuring I was aiming for perfect this time with my novel, I picked up the Smashwords Style Guide, just to be safe.
Right about halfway through is where I found myself saying, Oh cheese…
Cause yes, if you fail to follow this simple guide, your future will be that of a Nuclear Hamburger via Smashword’s Meatgrinder. Phear it.
If you have any intention to publish via Smashwords in your near or distant future, you will find this guide to have around my level of humor and sarcasm. You can run for the hills now if you like, cause I am too. I get rather intimidated by any similarities to myself being reflected back at me. It doesn’t happen very often. But I’m glad it’s Smashwords at least, cause Smashwords is cool and has made a lot of writers happy by simplicity. Books work. Happy works and so does simple.
Either way, I’m making a point to write a handbook on my Journey to the Self-Published World of Awesomeness (title is pending) if I survive the fallout from this all. For now, this book has some really good stuff and points (even comments towards how Microsoft– *omit possible legal action here*) and is worth reading. It even has pictures too for the win.
Hmm…but they’re all of Windows…
Must…convert…world to…Mac…must…

The Sword and the Dragon (The Wardstone Trilogy Book One) by M.R. Mathias
The Sword and the Dragon is an epic fantasy with a fun and very fast pace.
But if you are the type to lag behind while flipping through your bestiary, there is every fantasy monster imaginable in here to deal with you. And it’s a non-stop gauntlet of them.
What I was most impressed by was the multiple viewpoints from a strong set characters. Each with their own story that is brought together by the time you reach the end. Most of them are brave enough to reach for unfathomable heights, which tends to drop them into a heap of trouble. But that’s okay, because chances are that they just fell right-on your most-awesome list of people as well. Then you will want to hear their history.
Mikahl is the hero who takes a true hero’s stance. He doesn’t run from anything (unless it’s the people of the entire country who want him dead, but this is understandable). He gets the job done, without sulking for too long over the price of saving his kingdom.
The indie excitement over this book is justified. I will be reading on to, Kings, Queens, Heroes, and Fools, to hold onto my own even longer. The Sword and the Dragon will bring you right back to the magic, monsters, dwarves, elves and demons you thought you escaped by growing out of, only to realize you never wanted to. Bring a sword.
