Favorite Book or Movie Quotes – #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 19, 2020, favorite book or movie quotes (and why) !  Well now that’s interesting.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

Okay which one to  start with book quotes or movie quotes: Book Quotes:

 My friends and family are always asking me if I’m lost.  I’m not, just listening to the characters in my head play out the next chapter in my WIP.  LOL So naturally the quote, “Not all those who wander are lost.” 

The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein

This poem was written about Aragorn, a humble human king who undertakes great journeys and explorations. It is used twice in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’, once by Gandalf in a letter to Frodo and later by Bilbo, and is an attempt to persuade Frodo of Aragorn’s importance to Middle Earth. It is also an exhortation to the reader to see beyond his own value systems.

  This is one of my mantras. Goes with you can be anything you want to be as long as you are willing to work hard to get it. (Yep my mom said that. But also said writing was not a way to making a living.)     “It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”  

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, J.K. Rowling

Another book written for children but loved by adults. This is a comment made by Professor Albus Dumbledore to Cornelius Fudge. Cornelius has expressed the opinion that ‘Muggles’ and ‘Mudbloods’ (humans and half-humans) are inferior to wizards and witches. Albus responds by asserting that it is not pedigree that matters but talent.

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting”

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My darling Eve.

Roark from JD Robb In Death Series.   Seems each time he says this either he is in trouble or she is and I have to laugh at the situation.

Movie Quotes:

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” – Gone With the Wind, 1939 – Now admit it everyone loves this!

“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” – The Wizard of Oz, 1939
Fun fact: As one of the most famous movie quotes in film history, this line has been parodied by many different movies and television shows.

“May the Force be with you.” – Star Wars, 1977 – I’m a huge Star Wars fan, so of course this is one of my favorites. LOL

“What we’ve got here is failure to communicate.” – Cool Hand Luke, 1967 – My hubby uses this all the time. When in fact, it’s really his failure to communicate. LOL

“I’ll be back.” – The Terminator, 1984 – I love this one.

“I feel the need – the need for speed!” – Top Gun, 1986 – Loved this movie and can’t wait for the new one in December 2020 (maybe)

Two families long divided brought together through an adventure of a lifetime. Breaking the curse is only the first step to forever.

Yet, being a talented warlock, he is no closer to discovering what the ghost wants or why he chose Daylan. A trip to his estranged sister’s home in Colorado may have unforeseen consequences especially when family history leads him to a shocking discovery.

As his attraction blooms for Josie, a yoga instructor in his sister’s studio, he realizes there may be more to Josie than he can imagine. When an ancient rogue Fae Warrior set on revenge kidnaps her in an attempt to claim her as his own, a devastating curse comes to light.

Daylan’s world spirals out of control as he searches for Josie. Can he break the age old curse to save her and their future, or will she be lost to him forever?

L&SR’s Wed Blog Challenge – What I Wanted To Do When I Grew Up vs. What I Do

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 12, 2020, What I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do!  Well now that’s interesting. I am doing exactly what I always wanted to do, but it was a long and winding road to get here.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

For the last five years I’ve been a full time author with twelve books published since 2015, when I decided to try living my dream.  The road to get here was rocky to say the least. I spent eight years as a savings and loan employee starting at telling and working my way up to assistance branch manager. But the challenge was never there. I did enjoy the customer contact.

So I returned to school to get a paralegal degree.  Meanwhile for two years I worked nights as a radio DJ at a top local rock station. Now that was fun, met a lot of my favorite bands and entertainers.

Spent the next eleven years working as a paralegal for a criminal law firm. In the beginning it was challenging and exciting but as the crimes got more violent and frequent, I bailed. Seeing our clients out on bond during my off time and when I was with my elderly mother cemented my decision to move on.The encounters were scary to say the least.

The next fourteen years were spent as an Office and  IT manager for an electric contracting firm. While I did enjoy the job, management and ownership changes affected the Mission of the company. Employees became just a means to get the job done, not appreciated as previously. Eventually I was downsized. I decided then and there, no more working for someone else. My husband and I talked it over and he fully supported me giving my dream of becoming a published author a shot and we never looked back!

 

So there you have it what I wanted to do when I grew up vs. what I do.  How about you? What did you want to do  when you grew up vs. what you’re doing?  

Alas, I must return to my writing cave  where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC I will be releasing the cover and release date soon.  Stay tuned! Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in final galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well)  AND a new project is simmering  Wylder West Assignment.

#L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge – My Favorite Tropes

Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge August 5, 2020 – My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre!  WOW, so many choices.  Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie. 

My favorite tropes in Paranormal Romance, I want more than romance. I want a mystery, what makes the Hero and Heroine click? Is an outside source bringing them together?  Also want a little folklore sprinkled in.  Accidental Time Travel (Forgive my blatant promo – Mystic Maples) When Mercy discovers the truth, Silvanus’ well-ordered life unravels and they’re catapulted into the past to right a wrong.   Of course a happy ever after ending.  I know this isn’t exactly a troup, but it’s close. LOL

In Cozy Mystery, my favorite tropes are – Search for a hidden treasure of some kind. Travel to a land of enchantment to break a curse or find a missing person.  Time Travel with a purpose to solve a long time mystery. A good old fashion who done it. All must have a happy ever after ending.

Also, anything with robots, nanotech, or cyber security, I love these tropes! Did I mention I LOVE my Irobot Rumba (Bitti)? Bitti Vacuums my whole upstairs and schedule twice a week and tells me when she’s through. Gotta love tech.

So there you have it My favorite tropes of Paranormal Romance and Cozy Mystery genre.  How about you? Any favorite tropes of  Paranormal Romance or Cozy Mystery or maybe a different genre? 

Alas, I must return to my writing cave  where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC (Still waiting on cover art and release date). Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in pre-galley now release date been extended until April 2021. And working on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors chose as their favorite tropes in their genre.  L&SR
