Prophecy of Vithan

I just purchased this book and I'm am looking forward to reading it. Looks like a good one doesn't it? If you're interested in buying and reading it, I've included the link below.

On a more personal note, Ms. Leatherman's husband just passed after battling a lingering illness. Sincere condolences, Charlene.

~*~

Morgan had the life she had always dreamed of. Although still a brothel slave, the king and queen treated her like a free woman and the prince she was training was like a son to her. Then everything goes to hell. Morgan is forced into a marriage with a man she cannot respect or admire. Her prince is missing and the king and queen are killed. Morgan is blamed for the murder. Morgan's primary concern is to find Prince Khai.

The only thing slowing Morgan down is the prophecy about her saving the galaxy, remaining a virgin and that damn electric attraction she feels every time Len touches her.

Len had his orders. The ones everyone knew about and the other ones. Marry his soul mate and consummate the marriage, and determine if his new wife was the original Morgan Taj Zephyrain. The first he looked forward to. The second he preferred to ignore. Obviously Morgan Taj Zephyrain is the criminal Len is seeking. It is Len's job to bring the murderer to justice.

Summer Fruit Salad

I seldom cook. And when I do fix something its quick and easy. So I thought I'd share my quick and easy fruit salad recipe with you. Its great if you're looking for something light on a hot summer day.

Take fruit of your choice. (I usually use fresh grapes and a can of chunk pineapple. )
Drain the pineapple
Cut the grapes in half
Place your fruit in a bowl
Mix in vanilla yogurt
Then sprinkle with coconut and sliced almonds.
Quick and easy. And it's healthy and tastes yummy.

What about you? What's your quick and easy summer salad?

Australian Mist

I'm blogging today at Night Writers about Australian Mist. Every heard of it? I confess I hadn't till yesterday.

Kick Boxing

Any kick boxers out there? Have you ever tried it? Its a great work out and a lot of fun. Other than pushed back toenails, jammed fingers and bruises, I'm really enjoying it. grin.
I started about eight months ago, when one of the instructors at work kindly volunteered her time twice a week to teach the class. I got into it thinking it was the aerobics variety. Heh heh. Not quite. But once I got involved I really enjoyed it.
Now that the semester is over, our instructor is done teaching for the summer. So she and the rest of us signed up with her instructor at his studio. We had our first class yesterday. Yikes! I figure as far as exercising, that hour should take care of me for the rest of the week. I also can't play t he age card anymore either. The instructor looks to be my age and has a body like a rock.
Absolutely the worst part of Muay Thai for me is jumping rope. Sounds silly right? When we were kids we did it for hours. Now its not so easy to get this 'mature' body in motion.
The reason for jumping rope is agility, so that if someone attacks you, you can move quickly and respond as necessary. I must admit I need work in that area:) Our instructor said five minutes of jumping rope is the equivalent of a one mile run. I believe it.
I also ended up on a bag that didn't have padding. Ouch. Next week I'll check them out a little closer.
But all in all it was great. If you're looking for a good workout combined with self-defense training, I recommend it.

Memory

How is it that our memory is good enough to retain the least triviality that happens to us, and yet not good enough to recollect how often we have told it to the same person?~ Francois Duc de La Rochefoucauld

Oh my gosh Francois must have written that for me. I've gotten so bad, I now start my sentences with, "I've probably already mentioned this, but...."

What about you? Please, oh please, tell me its not just me.

Manic Monday and Poll and Memorial Day

Manic Monday

As soon as you set down for a cup of coffee your boss will ask you to do something until the coffee is cold. Author Unknown

Please help me out. I've just finished the third in the Hunters' Series and I'm torn between two names. This is Zoe's book, so I had planned to go with Vampire Bay, but I also like Dere's Curse. Of the two titles which would you be most likely to pick up? If you've got a moment would you vote in the poll at the right. Thanks!

They are all gone into the world of light
And I alone sit lingering here;
Their very memory is fair and bright
And my sad thoughts doth clear ~Henry Vaughan, from Silex Scintillans 'They Are All Gone'
