Here from the barbeque, I love the theme of your blog. I'm also a child of the eighties, a time of great music, big hair, shoulder pads, and great night time soap operas like Dallas and Knot's Landing. Do you remember the "Who killed J.R. sensation???" Anywho, I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Just popping over from the BBQ. Oh Duran Duran...I'd kind of hoped we'd all grown out of that phase. Nice to reminisce sometimes though.

Hey Andrea! Thanks for coming over---nothing like the 80s, huh? Who Killed JR! You know what's funny? I totally remember the sensation but I cannot for the life of me remember who killed JR? They shot alternative scenarios didn't they? Who was it in the end???

No, Bear Monk, you may tell yourself you've grown out of Duran Duran, but that's like saying you don't secretly long for George Michael's big come back. It shall always be a part of you.

Your comment makes me laugh though because in one of the opening lines of my book, even the main character was lying to herself: "By this point, Jen had long shed the more mainstream Journey, Duran Duran, and Wham for the new wave stylings of the Cure, the Smiths, and Echo and the Bunnymen."

Thanks for stopping by from the BBQ!

Well, I'm glad I chose THIS Monday to include the Duran Duran song then. :) Please do hop along---the idea is actually Lisa Sanchez's and I am lucky enough to get to glom on.

Thanks so much for coming over.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...

Back From the Future

Image
(First paragraph modified to first person from Suze's lovely words) I'm up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. I haven't brewed my coffee so I wonder if I imagined the sound. Plonking  the half-filled carafe in the sink, I go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As I cast my eyes to the ground, I see a parcel addressed to me ... from me. I scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, I pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the future -- and it's filled with items I have sent myself. Each item is contained in an envelope. Two envelopes are blank, but scrawled across one, in the eerily familiar penmanship that only I can accurately decipher, are the words: "The solution to the thing you're worrying abo...
