Show me what you made (Part Two) (Contest)
A few days ago, I asked readers to “show me what they made.” I asked for pictures of their art. I chose the winners of that challenge using a random number generator because I’m not going to judge anyone’s art. The two winners of the challenge are listed on the previous blog, but for a chance to win something today (whether you participated in the challenge or not), I’ll give a $5 Amazon gift card to someone who comments here!
Anna Taylor SweringenNot only is she an author, Anna makes lovely, seasonal wreaths for her door! If you’d like to see more of her work, check out this blog she did with pictures of some of her artwork: Wreaths
Look at how gorgeous these are! I’m so jealous. My daughter loves gnomes, she’ll flip out seeing Beckie’s!
Too cute!
Check out the wiremen! Very clever!
I’ve always wanted to make a quilt! But it takes patience (which I lack!). So pretty!
Now, I knew Ellen made lovely stained glass art, but I had no idea she was so multi-talented!
I was hoping someone would show off their cooking skills! Fedora made a very scrumptious-looking cake. What do you think it is? Looks like there’s chunks of apple, so maybe an applesauce cake?
Plus, she’s showing off her knitting skills! Look at the lovely patterns!

Genevive Chamblee: House of the Rising Sun
Today’s post may seem an odd one, but for me, it isn’t. See, recently, Mardi Gras was celebrated, which is a major event in Louisiana. And since 2020—when the entire world broke—it hasn’t been the same. Sure, it’s on its way to recovery, but it’s taking a while to get there. I should say, though, that this isn’t something that many people who have been around and are familiar with carnival are overly concerned with because, as mentioned, Mardi Gras is a big deal. It has tons of moving parts. Restructuring events this large is complicated. For those who think I’m minimizing the disruption, reflect on what happened in the years following Hurricane Katrina. It wasn’t that much different than what is presently occurring.
I began by saying Mardi Gras is a popular celebration in Louisiana. This is true. However, it is an event celebrated across the globe. New Orleans is likely the place where it is the most famously celebrated or is given the most attention. But NOLA wasn’t where Mardi Gras was created or even first celebrated. It’s just that when NOLA does something it does it big. Like, there is nothing really “over-the-top” about the place. Nevertheless, this post isn’t about Mardi Gras. Carnival was just the reason this topic registered with me.
This year, several parades were canceled—not due to weather but due to continued money issues that a lot can be attributed to the start of the icky Rona situation. In 2020, Fat Tuesday was on February 25, barely beating the U.S. shutdown/shelter-at-home. In 2021, it’s fair to say, that the Mardi Gras public celebration in NOLA was all but canceled. In 2022, it returned, but many parades/krewes didn’t return due to financial issues and parade route conflicts. This has continued to be the case as people get back on their feet.
So, as some friends and I were discussing the “good ol’ days” of carnival, we began to realize that there are plenty of things that we’ve taken for granted about Mardi Gras. Taking something for granted means failing to appreciate the value of something due to overfamiliarity. It also means failing to make assumptions without asking questions. Well, while we were having this profound discussion (and yes, distilled spirits were involved), the song House of the Rising Sun (or as I’ll refer to it from henceforth, HOTRS) began playing. And for the first time, I took note of the lyrics—perhaps because the first line begins: “There is a house in New Orleans.” As many times as I’ve heard this song, I never once questioned anything about it. I looked at my companions and asked where this place was located. No one knew, and that sent me spiraling down a wormhole of intoxication and loose association. Not only was I curious about the where, but I also wanted to know the what and why. So, I did some digging, and the results were intriguing…at least, to me.
Before I began dumpster diving into the where, what, and why, I was smacked with who. This became significant later when trying to answer what.
Like Mardi Gras being closely associated with NOLA despite it not originating from there, HOTRS is mostly associated with being performed by the British rock band, The Animals. Their version was released in 1964. However, HOTRS is a folk song that is believed to have been written in the early twentieth century and has been performed/recorded by a host of other artists. This list includes (in alphabetical but not recording order) the following: The Animals, Clarence “Tom” Ashley, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Five Finger Death Punch, Gwen Foster, Frigid Pink, Geordie, Andy Griffith, Woody Guthrie, Johnny Halliday, Lead Belly, Los Speakers, Miriam Makeba, Johnny Miller, Sinead O’Connor, Odette, Dolly Parton, Pete Seeger, Nina Simone, Thin Lizzy, Dave Von Ronk (Mayor of McDougall Street), and Glen Yarborough. This list may not be exhaustive.
Reportedly, The Animal’s version of the song was based on Bob Dylan’s version, and Dylan based his version on Dave Van Ronk’s version. However, Ronk wasn’t the original artist. The original artist is alleged to have been a woman, and the original lyrics reportedly are “poor girl” and not “poor boy.” It is believed the lyrics were changed when the gender of the singer switched from male to female. This is significant because the switch in gender perception changes the interpretation of the song. I’ll swing back around to this later.
Where?
Most of the information that I’ve read says that the HOTRS is based on a real location in NOLA. To be fair, I did find a couple of sources that said it was fictitious and a few others that concluded it was real but located in other places than NOLA. As to what type of establishment it was, three common answers kept recurring:
A house of ill-repute/brothelA jail/prisonA gambling hall/casinoWhat?
Brothel – Apparently, there was a gentlemen’s adult pleasure facility that was run by a woman known as Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant. From the name, it can be assumed that this woman had a French heritage. However, as I’ve discussed multiple times on my blog, South Louisiana has a diverse culture. While this woman may have been from France, she may have been a native of Louisiana (Cajun or Creole). Her name (LeSoleil Levant) translates to mean “Rising Sun.” This explanation for the song is pretty much in the face.
Prison – According to the research I found, there was a women’s detention center in New Orleans Parish. At the entrance, allegedly, there was artwork depicting a rising sun embossed on the concrete above the doorway. This artwork was reported to resemble the red and white Imperial Japanese Army war flag (adopted in 1889). The prison had nothing to do with Asia or Japan, and it is not known why similar artwork was used. This theory hypothesizes that the creator of the song was an inmate at this prison. The lyrics such as “Wearing that ball and chain” and “If I had listened to what my mama said, I’d be at home today,” lend support that the HOTRS is a prison.
Casino – This is another on-the-nose reference. The lyrics state that the “father was a gambling man” and what a gambler needs. There are also references (depending on the version) to the use of alcohol and drugs, and of course, most casinos serve adult beverages. In my opinion, this is the weakest of the three choices but still plausible.
Who?
As mentioned, it is believed the original creator/singer of HOTRS was a woman, but the most popular version of the song is about a man. How the narrator affects the songs is this. If the song is about a man, then the house could not be a woman’s prison. That simply wouldn’t make sense. Also, it weakens the theory that the house is a brothel. In general, society hasn’t written off men for visiting brothels. However, if it was a woman working in a brothel, she (as sexist as it is) would have more to lose. She would have been an outcast and not accepted by “decent” society. That would give credit to the line about being “ruined.” Furthermore, if the song is about a woman, the narrative becomes that she got hooked up with a gambler and alcoholic which caused her to turn to this way of life as having no other choice or means to support herself.
The singer being a man yields a slightly different spin. In that version, it is more commonly inferred that the singer has followed in the footsteps of his father on a path of drinking and gambling by choice.
In any version, one fact remains constant—the HOTRS is a bad thing. It appears to rob a person of hope and drains one physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Doing a deep dive into this song was fun. It caused me to think, and I learned a lot. Songs are poetry to music. Sometimes, the meaning isn’t obvious and one needs to think and look beyond the written word for the implied meaning. HOTRS is pretty apparent that it is referring to a physical location associated with moral deterioration and degeneration.

Cameron Allie: What’s happening in my world… (2 FREE Reads + Excerpt!)
I have sad news.
I had really wanted to show up today blaring trumpets and screaming “I have a new release! I have a new release!”, but unfortunately, I can’t.
My PNR wolf shifter book that was scheduled to release today, had to be postponed. So instead, I’m here to take a brief break before I go back to frantically trying to finish it so the proofer can get through it before it’s due to Amazon in less than a month.
If you think fated mates wolf shifters are for you, you can pick up the first one in the series, Drew (for free) here, and you can preorder Callum, which will be out next month (if all goes well) here.
Bookstagram Reviewer’s Choice Award: Romance Edition
I come with some news though. I’m starting up a Bookstagram Reviewer’s Choice Award.
What is that?
Well, right now I’m recruiting active bookstagrammers who love to read and review romance books! In March, I’ll be opening up the entry form for romance authors to enter their book (so long as it’s published between May 2023-April 2024).
This is an excellent opportunity for both Bookstagrammers and romance authors to connect with each other and to reach new romance readers.
There will be prizes for the top scoring entries in each category.
Judges will be receiving the books they judge for free.
Follow me on Instagram and follow the contest at our new Instagram account.

And if you’re a Bookstagrammer and you think you’d like to be a judge, you can sign up here.
How about a quick, unedited excerpt from Callum?
A few more hours and she could supervise the cleanup. Tonight, she’d sneak away to the tree fort for some quiet reading time, and if she was lucky, she’d miss seeing her father tonight.
As she thought through her plans, she straightened a tray on the table, and that’s when it hit her.
Or—more correctly—hit her nostrils.
The spicy, sweet scent from the other night, the one she’d thought was a cologne.
It was stronger now and immediately she realized what it was. Her mate.
For a second, she closed her eyes and just breathed in the intoxicating scent.
The noise of the crowd faded to a dull buzz. Across from her, someone shifted, and she just knew.
Looking up, there he was, the blond man, Elliot’s cousin, staring at her.
Her mouth watered as his scent flooded her senses. He was beautiful. His blond hair was darker at the roots and lighter at the tips, styled with a forelock that twisted and dipped across his forehead. A slight beard scruff covered the dimple in his chin.
He was stunning, and…related to Elliot.
Her father would never approve. Fated mate or not.
If he knew.
Her mate swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing with the motion. “It’s you.”
Quickly, she glanced around before hushing him. “Don’t talk to me. Not here.”
With that, she turned on her heel and fled, her mind whirling with each step.
New plan.
Seduce her mate and convince him to imprint on her before her father found out.
Belated Valentine’s Day Gift!
Happy Valentine’s Day (Yeah, I know, it’s a couple days late)!

What do you do when you find out your ex-boyfriend was cheating? You spend Valentine’s with your bestie and a bottle of Vodka. Maybe she suggests you slash the cheater’s tires. Maybe you get arrested by the sexiest cop you’ve ever seen.
A day dedicated to love. How bad could it be?

Gabbi Grey: The Tropiest of Tropes (Contest)
Hello, Delilah, and thank you for inviting me here today! Another month…another anthology! I have to admit, this one had me stumped. I was terrible at real-life dating. I couldn’t fathom fake dating. Of course, I knew I was going to write a gay romance for this anthology, but that was as far as I got. I did what I do a lot these days – I turned to my good author friend who is also a plot whisperer. I whispered gay romance, fake dating, and 15k into her ear. And, like magic, she came up with something. Now, we worked on this plot together, but I think it’s something a little special.
We started with Horatio – the buttoned-up executive who is extremely successful – just not in the love department. His second in command is a great executive – whose husband loves to organize company functions. Before the Valentine’s event, she commands Horatio to ‘find a date’ so that there’s an even number at the party. She’s aware her boss is gay, so that’s not an issue.
About this time, Horatio’s nephew – who has been living with him – announces that he’s marrying an older woman and moving in with her and her three kids. Horatio’s stunned. First, because he didn’t know his nephew was dating. Second, because the woman is as old as the nephew’s mom and her eldest son is just a few years younger than the man his mom is about to marry. Finally, a little discombobulated because, to help him out, Horatio’s nephew asks him to take in that younger son as a roommate.
Horatio loves his nephew and wants only the best for him. He’s housed the young man through his entire education. If taking in a stranger would help his upcoming marriage, then, of course, Horatio will do it.
Cue Dade. Sweet, loveable Dade. The twenty-something guy who’s trying to break into the film business. He moves in and…Horatio’s life changes forever. Well, we’ll start with Horatio asking Dade to accompany him to the Valentine’s Day dinner as a date. Here’s where my readers will find plenty of cameos from characters across a number of my pennames and series because…well, frankly, because I can.
In the end, age doesn’t matter. Because when two people are meant to be together, even the fake can become real. I think plot whisperer and I got this one right. Even my editor remarked on how much the story stuck with her.
So I’ve joined together with a pile of other authors to offer this great anthology at a low price. It’s also on Kindle Unlimited and only available for a short time.
Thanks, Delilah, for hosting me. I would love to give one of your commenters a $5 Amazon gift card. Have you ever been on a fake date? Or known someone who has? I attended prom with a friend as his date. Kind of awkward when he asked me if I’d let him kiss me – I was dating someone else at the time. The guy I was with turned out to be a weasel and I often wondered what would have happened if the date had been real… Anyway! Make a comment and random number generator might pick you!

About “Acting the Part” by Gabbi Grey inside Fake It ‘Til We Make It…
Horatio
My persuasive nephew convinces me to let his friend, Dade, move into my condo. Somehow I end up telling my coworkers that the young man’s my boyfriend, and I invite him to the Valentine’s Charity dinner. It’s all supposed to be a fake, but he’s not like anyone I’ve ever met, and the more time we spend together, the less I want this charade to end.
Dade
I’m busting my butt trying to land an acting gig, and my buddy offers me a room in his uncle’s luxurious condo. All I have to do is keep the old guy company. Only, the guy’s not that old. I’m happy to pretend to be his boyfriend for one event, but with every passing hour, I’m less and less eager to pull the plug on this act. Can we take fake to real, or will the magic end when the night’s over?
This is a 15k fake relationship, gay romance novella with a successful entrepreneur, an out-of-work actor, and a night to remember.

MONTANA BOUNTY HUNTERS: DEAD HORSE, MT
Authentic Men… Real Adventures…
Two fiercely independent bounty hunters must fight their attraction while learning to trust each other as they work together to bring in a dangerous skip.
Former SEAL Malcolm Winslow was looking for a change. He’s been bounty hunting on his own since leaving the teams and has missed the camaraderie of fellow warriors, so he accepts a job with the Montana Bounty Hunters. His first hunt takes a turn when the MBH team discovers that another lone hunter has found their target first. Not wanting to infringe, they stand by just in case their competition needs help.
Darleen Crockett has things well in hand. Sure, she’s alone, without a weapon (because where would she hide it in her skimpy outfit?), and the skip she’s determined to take down is one mean MF, but Darleen likes to ride that dangerous edge between victory and disaster. She’s an admitted adrenaline junkie.
When her skip attacks, she has things well in hand but is suddenly rescued by a rugged, tattooed man who makes her heart pitter-patter. What’s up with that? She’s quickly recruited by Malcolm’s agency and finds herself on the biggest hunt of her career. Denying her attraction to her temporary new partner isn’t possible when they spend so many hours alone, but what she doesn’t expect is finding something more with the equally footloose and independent Malcolm. Things get thorny between them when Malcolm can’t seem to get past the fact she’s a woman to trust that she can handle herself.
When the agency prepares to track an old adversary preparing to flee justice, Malcolm and Darleen are quickly folded into the team heading to Lander, Wyoming, to find their dangerous skip.
