For Moving In

Seriously Reviewed said "You know? Every so often you read a story that starts a little slow on the first few pages and then.....BAM it just explodes! This was one of them for me."

Kaye's Book Review Page
on which she said The book is "short, sweet, light-hearted and just plain fun."

Vince at Philosophy of Romance said "Alice Audrey’s voice is fresh, feisty, full of surprises and always fun. The author also deals with real people having real problems and she does it in a very insightful way."

Nessa at Chrysalis Stage said "If you like sweet, fast-paced romance with a hot hero and all of the misunderstandings that two people can throw at each other, then you will love this story."

Night Owl Reviews didn't have anything nice to say about it. Hey, you can't win them all.

Brenda Talley of Romance Studio said " I recommend this book to anyone. It was a pleasure to read and I shall look for more of her work in the future. "

By Guta Bauer at Murphy's Library did it twice! Once in English and once in Portuguese. I'm assuming they both say, "Life goes on, choices need to be made and we can never let our past deny us of our future. That’s just some of the things we learn from this story. "

If you did a review of my book, let me know! I'll be glad to link to you, even if you didn't like the book.

Cab Driver

I don’t remember his name. He gave me a ride from the Romance Writers of America convention to the airport. He barely spoke English, having haled from Shri Lanka, but insisted on filling the silence with as many of my words as he could. To get them, he had to talk too, and so we argued the nature of love, devotion, and Romance.

13 Games I’m NOT Playing, much as I would like to


A month ago I still have the luxury of time to occasionally play video games. Now that Tax Season is underway, that time is gone. Here are 13 I might be plying right this minute if I could spare the time.

1. Spyro; Ripto’s Rage
2. Saga Frontier 2
3. Dragon Quest VIII
4. Antigrav
5. Dark Cloud
6. Final Fantasy X-2
7. Final Fantasy IX
8. Grandia
9. Azure Dreams
10. The Legend of Dragoon
11. Final Fantasy XII
12. Spyro; Year of the Dragon
13. Final Fantasy VIII

Yep, mostly RPG (Roll Playing Game) and all old. Guess I’m not really missing out anyway.

Suzie’s House 254: To Jostle a Remnant of Memory

Suzie's House

Gene thought about hiding so Mrs. H. wouldn’t catch him watching, but then his jaw got tight and his back bunched up. He told himself he wasn’t mad, but he didn’t hide at all. So right after kissing that guy, that lawyer guy, she turned around and there he was, standing in the window with his arms crossed, looking right at her.

The Serialists of March 28

To be honest, I’ve had some problems following some of the more recent episodes of Scorpius, but last week started pulling it all together for me. Have you been following along? What do you think?

Welcome Graffiti

It’s been cold and rainy for weeks. Highs in the 60′s. I’m tired of hearing the furnace run. Still, some people managed to get down the the graffiti wall and do their thing.

Accidental Art

Check it out. I pulled a pickled baby corn from the jar, and the rest all kind of slumped over and ended up like this. Cool, huh?

55 – When They are Young

She: Stop it! We’ll get caught.

He: Oh, come on, Baby. We’re consenting adults. Why can’t we?

She: Because the kids are home. They’ll ask questions.

He: Who knew we’d have more trouble getting it on when we’re married than we did as teenagers?

A Random 13

1. I’m late with this post and have no good ideas for it and don’t feel like talking about my perpetually cluttered desk, so I’m going with the Off-the-top-of-my-head thing.

2. Why is it that my head is full of thought most of the time, but when I try to gab on to something specific it slips away like oily water?

3. Does that mean I’m dirty minded?

4. They say you reflect your environment.

5. Maybe, if I want to clear my head, I should clean the house.

6. That would involve moving all the clutter Mr. Al brings into the house.

7. Think he’d notice if the CD’s floating around without a home ended up in the trash?

8. Or his gargoyle collection?

9. Seems to me the clutter is not my fault.

10. Then again, I could probably get some of the papers off my desk.

11. Or at least deal with the pile of cat toys at my feet.

12. I remember when it was a pile of kids toys.

13. It always meant I wasn’t paying them enough attention.

ps, but it was talking with the kids last night that prevented me from doing my Thursday 13 post in the first place!

Suzie’s House 253 : The Mistaken Impulse

Suzie's House

Jeff liked to think he was diligent in his attorney-client relations, house calls to Mrs. Hammacker not withstanding. He nurtured his business relations carefully, often at the expense of anything resembling a private life. His focus on family law tended to put him in awkward positions. So he was used to acting as an amateur psychologist. He liked to think he handled it well.

This he wasn’t handling well at all.

Did you notice that Susan started a new story arc? I’ll bet it has something to do with the book she has coming out April 12. (More Trevor? Can’t wait!)

Chesapeake by James Michener p.514

To my old comrad in arms, Governor John Eager Howard

Rarely have I seen a document so shot through with fraud and force and forgery as this, but rarely have I heard supporting evidence from reliable witnesses as solid as that which bulwarks this claim. I pray you, lend good ear to the supplication of the Patriot, Teach Turlock, that his lands be restored.

The Winner of Deeper Than the Dead

It seemed a bit over kill to use random.org to pick the winner this time, so I flipped a coin. I assigned heads to Mama Zen because she commented first and tails to Heather and flipped three times because the first flip kind of didn’t actually turn in the air. The winner is Heather! Congrats on being lucky. :)
