Balticon 45 Recap

This is waaaaay late, but I finally have time to gather my thoughts and do a quick recap of my adventures while at Balticon 45 in Hunt Valley, MD 27-30 May.

You can check out my panels schedule in an earlier post. You can also check out the pocket program on Balticon's site.

So here goes:

DAY ONE - FRIDAY

Flash and I rolled out around 1pm, I want to say. Can't really remember. Traffic on 695

Whipped Cream Reviews: Charmed Lover

Whipped Cream Reviews has weighed in beautifully on Charmed Lover. This is the most in-depth review about the psychology of my characters that I've ever gotten. Very interesting reading. I even got some enlightenment. :D

4 Cherries!"An amuse-bouche to stimulate the appetite, giving you just enough to make you want much more... a fast paced and fun read, with enough intrigue to have you coming

Romancing The Book Review: Eris

A new review came down the line from Romancing the Book for ERIS.

Rating: Rose That Rules All (5 out of 5)
"Just start it--trust me, you won't be able to stop... There is nothing one dimensional or wooden in this story... There are plenty of twists and turns and I was thrilled with the ending. I'm sure you will be, too. Go buy a copy, settle in, and prepare to be hooked."

Movie Recaps: Thor & Priest

Shyapron is at it again, and we love him for it. :D

Remember that these things make more sense if you've seen the movie so you can get the jokes.

Movie Review: On Stranger Tides

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Basic Premise
Jack Sparrow is back and he is on the trail of the fountain of youth. His only issue is that the trail crosses Black Beard, the one pirate that all pirates fear.



Review
There is something at the very end of the credits that alludes to later movies. As I've said in other reviews, you paid for the movie so stay until the end.

Website Alert -- Up And Running

http://dreneebagby.com and http://zenobiarenquist.com are officially moved. The two sites are completely separated (something I've always wanted to do) and working beautifully. There are still a few little fixes here and there, but the majority of the work is complete.

Please be sure to update your links as ALL of the internal links have changed.

Website Alert

This is a quick alert so people don't panic.

I have started the process of porting my domains to the new site. I'm not sure what wackiness will happen in the interim.

Please be assured my old site and my new site are very much alive and well and working properly. However the domains leading to either might be a little temperamental. Thanks for your patience while I complete this process.
