Favorite Profile Images from Friends and Followers
As an author, I understand, although reluctantly, that blogging can be an important way to connect with readers. Some people are great and frequent bloggers with interesting topics. I won't claim that my blog topics are interesting to anyone besides myself. And that's okay. I blog with the same mindset as when I write. I write books that appeal to me, books I would like to read, and books I find fun, sexy, and engaging. When readers agree, that's wonderful.
So yes, my blogs not focused on my books are about topics I find interesting and fun. Hence, the topic of this recent blog. Lately, I've sent messages to followers complimenting them on their profile image. A random kind of message, I know. But if I like something, I have no problem letting the person know. So that's the backstory to this blog post.
I decided to write a blog post highlighting the profile images of my friends and followers I find fun or visually engaging. Please note, the list below does not include real images, such as an author picture like the one I use. Finally, there is no ranking to the pictures.
Okay, here we go.













Thanks to those who have befriended me, either accepting my friend request or sending me a friend request. And thank you to those who follow this new author. I'm always humbled when I earn a new follower and friend.
Sincerely,
Natalie

Top 15 Storm (Ororo Munroe) Comic Book Covers
I love comics, graphic novels, and manga. I like them even more when there's a romantic pairing I can really get in to. I've even tried my hand (once) at writing a comic book script based on my first novella. One of these days I'll take the time to hire a graphic artist to bring my characters and story to life. In the meantime, I thought I would pay tribute to one of my favorite comic book heroines - Storm/Ororo Munroe.
Storm has graced the cover of dozens of comics, over the years. I selected 15 of my favorite covers and ranked them. If there's a Storm cover you like that's not on my list, add a comment link to this blog.

My Top Five Comic Book Couples
Okay, so I love comics, graphic novels, and manga, especially when there are romantic couples involved. Because I was off on President's Day, got an extra snow day, which closed schools, and have to return to work tomorrow, I decided to post something a little fun.
My top five comic book couples. Feel free to disagree and add your own couples in a comment. But these are mine.
5. Mera and Aquaman (Aquaman by DC Comics)

4. Andrew Bennett and Mary, Queen of Blood (I Vampire DC Comics) They were a dysfunctional couple, but I loved them anyway.

3. Alana and Marko (Saga by Image Comics) Brian Vaughnand Fiona Staples are amazing. If you haven't read Saga, check it out.

2. Wonder Woman and Superman (Princess/Queen Diana of Themyscira and Clark Kent/Kal-El) Superman/Wonder Woman by DC Comics
The Power Couple of DC

1. Storm and Black Panther (Ororo Munroe and King T'Challa) of the Marvel Universe
Come on, are you even surprised I picked this former couple as my favorite?
