Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 3-4-2020 Characters that Remind Me of Myself & Why

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 3-4-2020 Characters that Remind Me of Myself & Why.  Wow, had to think on that one for a bit. Please have a seat, grab a hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookie. Lets get started.,

First character that comes to mind is my own Mercy from Mystic Maples.  Her curiosity is always getting her into trouble. Yeah, I claim that character trait. Mom insisted that I would outgrow it. Wrong! My overactive imagination combined with curiosity is a potent combination for a paranormal, romance, mystery writer. Anything can happen and usually does.

Next character would be Bo from TroubleMaker, by Linda Howard. Strong of character, smart, loyal, and wary.

Let’s move on to TV characters, Judge Lola Carmichael on All Rise. Our physical characteristics may be different, but our search for truth, unwavering commitment, and feistiness fit to a T. 

Movies, Wonderwoman – Gal Gadot – Yeah don’t we all wish. LOL Anyway, stubborn, loyal, determined. We share those traits.

So there you have it,Characters that Remind Me of Myself & Why!

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom on a new WIP (very exciting) so let’s see what other authors list which Characters that Remind Me of Myself and Why. L&SR

Which character reminds you of you? Please list them in the comments. 

Pssst… While you’re here, don’t forget to check out my paranormal romance/mysteries click  here.

 

One of my favorite books, A WARLOCK’S SECRETS e-book is on sale for 99¢ beginning on Friday 3-6-20. Yippee!! Writing this book was an adventure in and of itself. A Warlock’s Secrets came to fruition after several readers and a couple of reviewers asked or assumed Tristian’s story was next in the Demon’s Witch Series. In truth, I’d never considered writing his story. He was the Demon Overlords enforcer/assassin, for heaven’s sake. After delving into who he really is and what he wants, come to find out, he has a strong moral compass and when love comes his way he is fiercely protective and everything Hannah is looking for in a forever relationship. A Warlock’s Secrets, second book in the Demon’s Witch Series is on sale for 99¢ for a limited time.!Join in the adventure and download your copy today!  

Years ago, a sacred ceremony at the Dragon’s Moon Coven turned deadly. Son of the high priestess, Tristian Shandie’s life changed forever. With a price on his head and revenge in his heart, he has no choice but to follow in his father’s footsteps to a profession shrouded in secrets. Now his skills as an enforcer for the Demon Overlord are second to none. But dangerous secrets he harbors are a liability he can no longer afford.

A chance meeting with a woman he finds irresistible flips Tristian’s world upside down. Hannah is a cyber security specialist with secrets of her own. Bad boys never appealed to her until Tristian, who changes everything. In his darkest hours, she is dragged into his magical world.

If they survive, is she strong enough to heal his heart and tame the warlock? Or will their secrets destroy them?

Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Then next week, March 11th, we take a look at One skill I wish I had but don’t.  Boy that’s going to be interesting!

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-29-20 Best Book/Movie/TV Couples

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-29-20 Best Book/Movie/TV Couples.  Lets get started.,

 

In reviewing my choices, I decided to list some of my own Best Book Couples. Yep, I’m partial to some of my Book Couples.

Lets start with couples Bruce and Angie from A Demon’s Witch, the first book in the series by the same name.  The adventures of Bruce and Angie are an entertaining escape from the ordinary world… be swept away into a magical romantic fantasy with a touch of mystery and suspense. Feisty witch knocks the demon overlord off his feet & turns his carefully ordered world upside down.

Who knew an assassin could be so sexy? A Warlock’s Secrets -this book wasn’t even planned. But after my readers and reviewer insisted, Hannah and Tritian tale was told. – Inside the house, a shadow passed by the huge bay window. She held her breath. Am I really going to go through with this? she wondered. The heavy oak door creaked open. Tristian stood shirtless, his abs rippled as he raised one muscular arm to lean on the doorframe. The skintight blue jeans hung low on his hips and his hair tousled as if he’d not been awake long. The sunlight streaming through the doorway accentuated several scars across his chest, rib area and a healed slash across his back. Who gets those kinds of battle scars and lives to tell the tale? Not going to ask. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Time Travel Gypsy adventure – Mystic Maples –  In the small town of Willow Springs, Mercy and Silvanus  must travel to the past to right wrongs to have a future together.  Mystic’s insatiable curiosity gets her in trouble at every turn. Sil’s family secrets have kept him from a serious relationship until Mercy tears down his walls and flings him head long into the past.

Linda Howard’s TroubleMaker –  Couple Morgan Yancy and Isabeau “Bo” Maran The harder they fight the intense heat between them, the closer Morgan and Bo become, even though she knows he’s hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost Bo more than she’s willing to give. And when Morgan’s cover is blown, it might just cost her life.

Lets talk TV couples for a moment – N.C.I.S. LA’s  Marty and Kensi They are partners as well as a couple on the show. Their antics and banter are an entertaining addition to the crime drama.

Moving on to Movie couples, Avatar – Jake Sully and Neytiri  the couple is multi-species (Gee imagine that LOL) and work hard for their happily every after.  It’s the only movie I’ve gone to the theater three times to see and bought the Blu-Ray.  A bit about Avatar –  In the near future, humanity is faced with a global energy crisis. Man has managed to exhaust Earth’s natural resources, and the RDA (Resources Development Administration) sees a solution to this catastrophe in the form of unobtanium, an energy-rich element that exists on the moon Pandora, a jungle planet orbiting a gas giant in the distant Alpha Centauri galaxy. Mining unobtanium is a difficult and costly endeavor, not only because of Pandora’s distance from the Earth, but also because the planet itself is dangerous to humans: Pandora’s atmosphere is toxic to humans and the Na’vi, a blue-hued race of beings, already inhabit it and protect its environment vigilantly.

Jake soon becomes supportive of the Na’vi’s plight as he gains a better understanding of their ways, and he proves himself to be a worthy Na’vi warrior. He is eventually integrated into the tribe and Neytiri chooses him as a mate. With his alliances changed, Jake sabotages a bulldozer that was tasked with destroying a sacred site, an act that prompts the RDA to order the complete destruction of Hometree.

 

I could go on and on, but the above will give you an idea of my preferences.

Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as Best Book/Movie/TV Couples. L&SR

A peek between the pages of Mystic Maples:

It was a beautiful summer evening lit by a full moon. What harm could come from simply popping over to Mystic Maples, digging my toes into the earth and see if there is any truth to the rumors? She shrugged. Sis wouldn’t have told me about it, if she hadn’t thought it worth investigating. Right?

She toed off her shoes, pulled off her socks and straightened. With a snap of her fingers she left the room without a sound and landed smack dab at the edge of the maple trees. Glancing around, she could see the house in the distance and the outline of the sign. “Good, I’m in the right place.”  She wandered farther in among the trees, the dirt beneath her feet was cool. Wiggling her toes deeper into the earth, she felt the warmth of the day and something else—a connection.

Several trees had a slight glow to them, then it was gone. Am I imagining…She raised her arms out from her sides and turned her face to the starlit sky letting the magic surge through her.  It had been almost a year since magic of any kind called to her. It felt so good, she was lost in the moment.

Suddenly a male voice broke through her revelry. “What are you doing here?”

Her heart thundered in her chest. She hadn’t heard a sound. Yet, there he was standing not three feet from her, hands on hips, and glaring at her.

#L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-15-20 Books I Can’t Wait To Read in 2020

Welcome to #L&SR’s #Wednesday’s Blog Challenge 1-15-20 Books I Can’t Wait to Read in 2020… Lets get started.,

In reviewing my choices, I decided to give JD Robb another try. My first book of her’s I hated. I was told my people that absolutely love her books, I’d picked one of her worst books in that series.  Figures.  So one more time I ‘ll try Golden in Death. 

In the latest thriller by JD Robb, homicide detective Eve Dallas investigates a murder with a mysterious motive―and a terrifying weapon.  Release date Feb. 4, 2020.

Next up, Linda Howard’s After Sundown, release date of March 31, 2020. 

Danger brings together two guarded hearts in a battle for survival in this irresistible story from New York Times best-selling authors Linda Howard and Linda Jones.

The Guardian by John Grisham. Again I loved all his novels until the last few years.  Seemed to me he was calling them in. Gray Mountain was a prime example. He spent the first six chapters rehashing what he said in the first chapter.  But I’m going to give him one more chance.

In the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive.

Alas, back to my writing cave where deadlines loom, so let’s see what other authors list as Books I Can’t Wait to read In 2020. L&SR
