I am failing for now but I will get better!  Until then here are some covers some will used some are just mock

Nothing… Man I got nothing!  I have been blocked and it is annoying!  Thought this posted yesterday…  So I leave you with this…

The very first sketch of Katy Lily!

Got some writing done today but not a lot… I will catch up but it may be a bit of time… That being said I am playing with new ideas…

Price of a Bounty by S.L. Wallace
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I quite enjoyed that book, I generally don’t read a lot or write a lot with different POV, so I was surprised how I truly enjoyed this one, most of the time I can be left feeling confused and lost.  But this book is written very well.  There are a few spots where see a lot of repeated information, but I didn’t mind this very much.  It was fast paced and kept me flipping the pages.  I still really don’t the multiple POV and wish it would have been done in 3rd person but that being said that really doesn’t distract one from the story line and the plot, which is great!  I love the characters and I love the storyline.  Some of the wording seemed a bit redundant or a bit forced, but that can be easily overlooked.  I give this a 3 1/2, rounding up to 4 for review sites.

Well I haven’t written anything yet!!!  But I have a new Idea!!!!  Here is the new Idea and I think after I make sure Katy Lily 3 gets out and the 2 companions are released I work work on this short novella.  I have it started about 500 words in but for you here is the story line:

Harbinger

Raven was a teenage girl… except she had a secret.  She is a victim of a bully.  She writes about her struggles.  She falls into a depression she only sees one way out… She takes her own life…
She is sentenced to Hell for taking her life.  While there facing her punishment in the seventh circle a being notices her.  They bargain for her soul…
She is sent back to Earth as a harbinger, a bringer of death.  She spends much of her time in her mortal form, going on about her life.  Trying to live a life she gave up is impossible… however she has a chance to make a new life, with a curse…
When she is not in her mortal form she is in a form of a raven in which she brings death to the mortals in her assigned section of the world…
With hopes she might learn how precious the gift of life really is…

First off HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AUNT PAM!!!!!!!

Second it was a fail day for NaNo only 200 words, but I will make it up this weekend.

And Finally my subject of the day: NaNoWriMo Rebels (my favorite rebels… okay okay so I am sucker for rebels in general!)

First what is a Rebel?

Rebellion

Some examples of rebellion projects done by Wrimos include:
Memoirs
Nonfiction books
Scripts
Completing or adding on to previously started works
Graphic novels and other art projects
Unrelated fiction writing projects, none of which pass 50,000 words
Unrelated short stories (although this is debatable, as some short story anthologies consist of unrelated stories)
Blogging
World and RPG developing
Video game scripts and code
Transcribing letters and journals
Rewriting and revising old projects
Outlines for novels or other projects

Rebels often use Nanowrimo’s frantic get-it-done energy to complete projects outside the initial scope intended by Chris Baty when he originally laid out the guidelines. Some even set the same word goal of 50,000 words or an equivalent (for example, an art project might involve 50 pictures). Whether or not to verify their word count and get the winner goodies is up to the rebel–some may choose to do so if they meet their goals, whereas others choose to leave their bars purple. While Rebels are acknowledged and welcomed by the OLL, there are no official Rebel-specific website tools or merchandise.

It should be noted that the following fall within the guidelines and are not considered Rebel projects:
Fanfiction/derivative works (Nano does not rule on the content, as long as it is fiction; in fact, as of 2012 there’s a fanfiction forum under Genre Lounges)
Fictional memoirs (again, as long as it is (mostly) fictional, it falls within guidelines)
Short stories with a common theme/setting/characters (related short stories are often published as anthologies in one book)
Rewriting an old work (as long as previously written prose is not used)

So There you are in a nutshell… Rebels are not cheaters!  They are Rebels!  The goal is simple to get your words on paper!!!!

Happy NaNo Everybody and Enjoy!

The Promise by Lauren  Hunter

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Note I was provided this for free to review: That being said it did not effect my love for this book! I must say it has been awhile since a historical romance has caught my attention! I read this book very quickly! I loved the banter between the Duke and Lady Elizabeth and I loved the concept! True Soul mates exist and not even death can separate them. I love historical romance but a lot of modern ones have left me disappointed due to the lack of research with their time period, however Lauren Hunter’s writing shows she took the time to make it accurate and believable for the time period she has written about and to me that is one of the most important aspects of historical fiction of any kind. There is a lot of back and forth between the Duke and Lady Elizabeth and even though Lady Elizabeth tries to rebuke the Duke, he is determined to win her. This all leads to a plot twist that I didn’t see coming! If you are a fan of historical romance this book if for you! A very solid 5!
