Blaze

Being the first Monday of each month, I usually have the privilege of starting the month off with the topic picked by the Blog Queens.  This month is Crazy 8s Blog-o-Versary. Yes, this blog has been going for 8 years and I've been with it every step of the way. It's been fun and I enjoy sharing things with those who follow the blog.

So to start of my 8 Crazy Things:

Celebrating May's Calendar Men book with Cheryl Wright

First of all I’d like
to say thanks to Judith and Sarah at Romancing the Genres for inviting me back.
It’s always great to be here.

I’d also like to say
congratulations on your 8th Blog-O-Versary. That’s a huge feat and
one to be proud of.



I’ve been asked to
talk about my latest book, which is Book Five – May – in the Calendar Men
series.



This book was a
little back-the-front for me.

spiritual practices that nourish the soul. My stories show you what life could
be like if you had a place like The Circle where you are unconditionally

happily-ever-after.

A Funny Thing Happened Before the Writing Bug Bit!

By: Marcia King-Gamble

Life has a strange way of throwing you curves when you
least expect it.  Funny, but I never had the burning desire to be a writer. My mother was the one who thought I
should major in Journalism. I poo-pooed that, Like most teenagers,  I thought mother didn't know best.









I was going to be a theater major, and just in case that

Thank you so much for having

I’m Traci, half of the
writing duo Traci Wilton. Patrice Wilton is the other half—you can see that we

Crime of Passion by Paty Jager

How many times do you hear that on a mystery show? It was a crime of passion. There are statistics that show most murders are crimes of passion. Lovers kill lovers, husbands kill wives, mothers kill children, fathers kill families. It's not something we want to think about or write about- but it is the world a mystery writer has to think about. 


Passion- it can get out of control and cause

A funny thing happened on the way to the Easter Bunny's arrival

By Cassandra O'Leary




Kids. You can't make up some of the stuff they say and do. You can encourage their imagination and learning, but what happens next is often a surprise. Like the ubiquitous line about boxes of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. If you wanted writing inspiration for a middle grade book, my house would be where it's at...wait, there's a thought! Mental

Time Passages

by M. L. Buchman

This blog has monthly themes and, curiously, this month has two. "A funny thing happened..." and it's the 8th anniversary of Romancing the Genres. I was invited to join some 7-1/2 years ago, but I'll pretend that's it's my 8th anniversary here as well.

And it is curious, but a funny thing did happen over the last eight years...I became a writer.

It's actually a very curious

Amnesia from the Inside Out by Sarah Raplee

A funny thing happened…eight days ago as I was getting
ready for bed. My husband and I were staying in a hotel room overlooking the thundering Deschutes River in
Bend, Oregon. As I walked from our hotel bathroom to our bed……I lost my memory.


          The
last thing I remember is reaching for the doorknob to open the bathroom door.
