D-Day
Today marks the 65th Anniversary of the invasion at Normandy Beaches in France by American, Canadian, and British troops, supported by Polish, Norwegian, and some Free France soldiers. Not many veterans of that battle, or other World War II battles, remain. Unlike World War I, this war has been remembered and commemorated hundreds of times.So if you know a Vet, say thanks. Even if they weren't on the shores of Normandy-Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, or Sword-thank them anyway.
And if you ever get a

Join me! (6/5/09)
Join me Friday night 7-8 p.m. EST for a chat on Savannah Chase's Yahoo Group! I'll be talking about most anything, sharing excerpts from Desert & Destiny, and answering any questions. I'll even share my renovating horror stories, if you really want to know what it's like to have no kitchen and walk around your oven and fridge all day. But the mental image is probably enough. :) http://groups.yahoo.com/gropus/savannahchase/It's easy to join![image error]

Temptations and Treachery
yesterday and today feel really positive about it. None of that oh, I should've...Oh, but if I just added...so far so good.
Except now I realize I need to fix the web page for that book. *sigh* It's never ending.
I'm going to focus on my contemporary paranormal now. Dig into the other aspects of occult phenomena, see what new and interesting things I can come up with. I'm really excited about this story, there's so much I want to do with it![image error]

Isabel Roman had done a wonderful job of telling this story about how strong the female line was in the American Blackthorne family. The simple fact that Morgana put everyone else before her wants and needs, including her trusted cousin, James, and friend, Takoda, told me she had a great concern for others. I cannot wait to dive into the next book to see what

This and That
I'm moving along with a new story, another paranormal. Despite my best intentions on writing that hot historical in WIlliamsburg, this one took over my imagination and my muse. I'm not going to ignore it just cause, so will diligently plot it out and move along with that. Williamsburg and my characters from there can wait. For now at least.
I've received a lovely review on
Murder & Magick

Happy Memorial Day and Temptations and Treachery
Which sounds odd, since it's memorial. But I think it's important to remember why we have Memorial Day. So in the spirit of remembering and honoring those who fought so I can sit here and type this in my air conditioned condo, I say Happy Memorial Day! And more importantly...thank you.
I'm just finishing adding 10K words to Temptations and Treachery, the 4th (and final) book in my Druids series. My editor, rightly so, thought I fell a little short. The problem was that poor Isadore's story wasn't

Memorial Day Weekend
I have a lovely 3 days off this weekend. I'm truly sorry for those who don't. Benn there, done that, and yes. It sucks when everyone else is off and BBQ-ing and you're stuck at work.
I'll be busy all weekend, but it's just nice to have a break. Some times recharging is the best thing for you, and this weekend despite everything I need to get done, it'll be nice to sleep in a little and just be.
Next week is the end of May. No, I have no idea where the month or year has gone. I wish I did, so I co
