These are the "author notes" for my new story:

Each and every day all of us are faced with choices in this life. We make small choices - what to wear, what to eat - that only affect us. We make large choices - right or wrong, good or evil - that affect not only us but all those around us. These choices no matter when they are made have a way of ( Read more... )

...you start questioning everything. And I do mean everything! It must have something to do with the way the brain operates when every other part of your body is also succumbing to the invasion of The Lizard Spit. Tonight the Lizard Spit is not happy with my choice for dinner. Or maybe it is still protesting the fish I had for lunch ... I am not ( Read more... )

How's this for a "sneaky-peeky" button, Madame Musique?

Lorraine reached up to touch her husband’s cheek. “Oh, Benoit,” she sighed. “You have always been a dreamer in the darkest part of your heart that you keep hidden from all - even from me.” She shook her head as his mouth opened. “No, I know this - I have always known this and it no longer ( Read more... )

The last paragraphs of the epilogue to "English Rose, French Thorn"...

Lafayette left the camp that night, unable to sleep. In spite of the danger, he scaled the Barren Hill and stood on its peak. With the warm summer wind blowing through his hair, he watched the British soldiers leave the occupied capital city, looking like so many ants streaming ( Read more... )

I have been visiting my other fandom this weekend. This is a little peak into the world of "Lourdesmont" during the American Revolution.

I have needed to get something out of my system for a few ( Read more... )

I am SO damn excited I feel like bouncing off the walls! Did I mention that the Christmas DVD is released tomorrow? No? It is not going to be like when PoTO DVD was released and I stopped on my way to work and played it all day at work cause my PC has a DVD drive. Nope. Not this time. My fan-obsessed little brain is not going to do ANYTHING like ( Read more... )

I swore I wasn't going to do this but since my favorite "crack addict" is having the kind of issues with cars that seem to have plagued me all my life, I decided to be nice.

Let me preface this by saying that I have liked Barry Manilow since the Long Ago and Bygone Days of Junior High School - back when the Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth. The song I am thinking of is from the movie "Copacabana" - "Who needs to Dream?". I have always loved this song and now I am sitting here at work, crying like a little baby as Evil Plot ( Read more... )

I wish to publicly thank - yet again - My Beloved Sounding Board! This person is my Personal Voice Of Reason when the Evil Plot Bunnies attack. I am taking the offered advice to heart - or whatever is in there since we all know I am Officially Heartless - because the stories that are being plotted will be all that much more satisfying for all ( Read more... )
