Ladies and Gentlmen I am writing today to announce that Blue's reckoning has arrived. Yes, you read that right, not only am I training her but now we have a membership to a gym. That might sound like a great thing, but for her it means that I now have access to lots of wonderful torture devices. (insert evil laugh)
Tonight will be day one for her at the gym. She thought she knew what sore was before, HA, if only she knew what was in store for her. I will stopping back in later to discuss the results or as I refer to it the aftermath! : D
Wonder Woman, Cupcakes, Angels, Daemons... Whatever, these are totally and completely scattered scribblings of a girl with her head in the clouds.

At it again!
That's right everyone I've done it again, Blue is once again limping around the house cussing me under her breathe. Today's training involved a 30 minute run....of course I just couldn't resist adding a hill for her to sprint up. Hahaha 👿! As I push her towards her goal one step at a time it never ceases to amaze me just how motivated she can be. Even after she was sweating, wore out and gasping for breathe she wanted to know the details of the next work out.
Now to move on to one of OUR favorite topics HALLOWEEN or as we refer to it Samhain. That's right it's October and in our house that means an entire month of horror movies and ghost hunts. I would say decorations but they stay up year round around here. And we love it that way! Even as I type this Blue is glued to the television watching the third installment of the Exorcist. Horror movies and supernatural shows are a way for her to energize her creatively complex mind. It's almost like watching a battery on a charger : )
Well I think that's a wrap until next time. But before I go maybe some of you out there have questions about Blue you want answered, and if you do feel free to ask....just beware you never know what I might say next.

You got "The Look"
Okay, so I got picked by Jojo and Amy to do this whole "Look" blog post thingy. As we all know, I HATE blogging, which is why Josh has pretty much taken it over. But hey, I couldn't pass this up.
So, you're supposed to pick your favorite paragraphs that surround the word "look" in your current WIP. Well, From Hel is my WIP, so here is my choice ...
There ya go kiddies! It was part of the opening scene, a teaser if you might say ...
Now, I'm supposed to name five authors to follow me in my footsteps and well, I suck because I don't know everyone's blogs, and well, every one has pretty much done it, so I am tagging a butt ton on FacePage and forcing them to do it. That's right, hate me later! <3
So, you're supposed to pick your favorite paragraphs that surround the word "look" in your current WIP. Well, From Hel is my WIP, so here is my choice ...
“Put. Me. Down.” Each word was
laced with venom as she stared up at Maelstrom’s face. It was a silent order to
do exactly as she commanded while she moved against the unsolicited touch, or
he was going to face a punishment he might not like.
“Easy, Raven, he was just trying to help.” Annabel
sniffled as she looked up in adoration at Maelstrom, forcing an eye roll from
everyone in the office.
All Annabel got was a look from
Raven who swallowed down the instinctual urge to slit the Viking Chieftain’s throat
as he set her to her feet.

Let get this party started!
Well let's get this shit started! As everyone can imagine Blue is busy as hell with her book, and in a lapse of good judgement she has given me (her husband) permission to post on her blog at my discretion. She is in serious trouble! (insert evil laugh here)
I will be popping in occasionally to give updates on how Blue is doing as well as giving insight into what it is like to live in the world of the Dark Princess of fairy tales. And I should warn you now it is chaotic, hectic, and very random. Haha
Today was Blue's first day of her Wonder Woman transformation workout. And I have the pleasure of guiding her along this path towards her goal of dressing as Wonder Woman for the release party of the new Superman movie in March 2013.
She is extremely motivated but after her workout today she is feeling a little whooped. I know she can do this and will definitely be keeping you all updated on her progress.

My Heart, My Life, My Cover
Awwah, my poor wittle eebil minions. I know I've been away for a while, and it makes me sad. I can't help it, really! My job takes up sixty hours a week, my writing takes up my days off, and spending time with my husband is a must. Finding time to be the social butterfly that I have to be is HARD! Goddess Bless those of you who can actually do it! I wish I could keep up with everyone and their posts, I try, but sometimes, it's so hard to do. I almost want to hire a PA to do it for me.
As most of you know, by my FB and Twitter posts, I'm on my last round of edits (I hope). From Hel started out so different, a tiny seed in my head, then moved on into something big, and now it has gotten HUGE! It would seem that it has moved onto more Norse than I ever expected, the symbolisms and legends of the Yggdrasil, Loki and his children: Hel, Fenrir and Jormungand, Valkyries and the Fallen... so much more. I'm not going to lie and say I took the edits in stride, because I didn't. It took me about three or four days to settle down to accept some of them. It's definitely the hardest part of writing. To me anyway.
With that being said, I'm actually clueless on what to even write about. I have nothing to say or to vent on or to brag about. SSDD....
Until next time, sweet dreams and naughty nightmares!

Monday Musicals - My Soul Mate
I love music, as does everyone. Music touches us all in one way or another, some more than most. I tend to relate my life to music, as does a very dear friend of mine, Charity Parkerson. I asked her to drop by and post about a song that touches her deeply, and she jumped on it like a mexican jumping bean. So, let me give the floor over to Charity!
I love music almost as much as I love to write and that is really saying something. The T.V. in my house is rarely on when I am home alone, but my ipod never gets a break. I tend to lean towards the music that fits my mood, and I have learned to use that to my advantage in my writing. If I know that I am writing a love scene or a heartbreaking scene, then I set my playlist to match my scenes in order to keep my mood even with my writing. However, music has also equally influenced my “real” life, as opposed to the imaginary one that I normally life in, and I believe that music can lift you up when you are down or allow you to wallow in your misery if that is what you need at the time. Songs hold our memories. How often do you turn on the radio and suddenly found yourself thinking about a person or a time that you’d forgotten. Just like Trisha Yearwood says, “The Song Remembers when” and if I had to pick one song today that remembers for me, it would have to be:
Usher - You Got It Bad
This song was very popular back when my husband and I were dating. We would be out on the town when this song would come on the radio, and then we’d turn the sound up, and sing this song to each other at the top of our lungs. We meant every word, but we would still laugh about it afterwards. We decided against playing this song at our wedding, in order to keep from offending some of the older quests, but in my heart this song will always be my wedding march, because I know every time that I hear it, that it was the song I was hearing in my head as I was marrying my soulmate.
Thank you, Charity! You can find her on Twitter ( @charitypakerso ); FaceBook ( charityparkerson ); or here on blogspot ( charity - thesinners )
So, this has made me curious. What song touches you when you look at your soulmate?

The Vampires Kiss - Sunday Shots
Oh man, do I have a treat for all my eebil minions! Today, we are going to treat you to not only a yummylicious drink, but my good friend and author, Liv Rancourt, was so sweet to give us a taste of her delicious words that bite just as deep and sensual as our drink today: The Vampire Kiss.
Ingredients:
•1 1/2 oz Finlandia Vodka
•1 1/2 oz Korbel Champagne
•3/4 oz Chambord
•red sugar for rimming
Preparation:
1.Rim the glass with red sugar (use food coloring) or drop in a set of wax vampire teeth for a real surprise.
2.Pour vodka and half of the Chambord in a martini glass.
3.Top with Champagne.
4.Pour the remaining Chambord over the back of a spoon to make it float.
And now that I have left you craving more, I turn over my loyal eebil minions to Liv:
They are weak. All of them. As careful as I am, picking only the hardy and the strong, and cultivating their devotion like a rare orchid that blooms once in a decade, it is never enough. And like the orchid I would have them last, their waxy blooms and glowing colors sustaining me for weeks before they crumble and fade. They all go too soon.
But perhaps the problem is mine. Perhaps my sin is gluttony that I draw too much, stealing the very sap that keeps their petals firm. Like this poor soul. He fought, hands tearing at my undead flesh in an unsuccessful bid for survival. Now he lays beneath me, as waxy as an orchid’s petal, victim of my gorgeous death.
Liv Rancourt is a writer of speculative fiction and romance. She lives with her husband, two teenagers, two cats and one wayward puppy. She likes to create stories that have happy endings, and finds it is a good way to balance her other job in the neonatal intensive care unit. Liv can be found on-line at her website (www.livrancourt.com), her blog (www.liv-rancourt.blogspot.com), on Facebook (www.facebook.com/liv.rancourt), or on Twitter (www.twitter.com/LivRancourt).
I'm so excited to get a chance to read some of Liv's work! Don't be afraid to Tweet Liv or find her on FB and Blogspot, she bites! Oh, erm.. well, if you ask!
Until next time,
Stay Eebil!
