Happy Veterans Day: Thank a Vet #veteransday

Sgt. Alvin C. York, WWI


In honor of Veterans Day, I thought I'd share the story of Alvin c. York, a World War I veteran who became one of the most decorated soldiers of World War I.
York was born in the hills of Tennessee in December 1887. He was the 3rd of 11 kids. Poor to the bone, the Yorks grew their own food. Alvin's mom knitted their clothes, and Alvin's dad worked as a blacksmith to supplement their income. The family hunted small game as well, which probably helped developed Alvin's extraordinary sharpshooting skills.
In 1911, Alvin's father died. Alvin went to work at the railroad to support his family. He also earned a reputation as a violent alcoholic. In June 1917, he registered for the draft. (as all young men had to) There's some controversy round him asking for conscientious objector status, but in his diary he stated he never asked for conscientious objector status. (His mother was a known and passionate pacifist, so I bet that had something to do with it.)
In October 1918, near Chatel-Chehery, France, Alvin earned the Medal of Honor. As a Corporal, York and his unit of men, roughly 15 total, snuck behind a heavily fortified German position. Half were killed. Under heavy machine gun fire, York and his squad fired back. 6 German soldiers in a nearby trench changed him with fixed bayonets. York shot and killed them all with his .45 Colt automatic pistol. As the losses mounted for the Germans, 1stLieutenant Paul Vollmer surrendered to York. York and his squad of 7 men marched 132 German prisoners back to American lines.
General John J. Pershing presented York with his medal of honor and he was promoted to Sergeant. Alvin received approximately 50 military decorations for his service in World War I.
Upon his return to the States, York's bravery made the headlines. He received tours of New York City and Washington DC. When he entered the US House of Representatives, they gave him a standing ovation.
In June 1919, York got married. He's a busy bee and has 8 children: Woodrow Wilson, Sam Houston, Andrew Jackson, Betsy Ross, and Thomas Jefferson just to name a few. He died in September 1964 after a series of health related problems. He'd gained weight and was plagued with strokes.
His story was told by Hollywood in 1941. The movie was called "Sergeant York," and it was based on the diary Alvin kept during World War I. Gary Cooper won an academy award for his role in the movie.
Who are your military heroes? I'd love to hear your stories. Thank a Veteran today. It means a lot to them. 

Adventures of Cub Scout Mom: A visit to the USS Midway #USSMidway #veteransday

On the USS Midway at night


When my son's Cub Scout Pack said they were going to visit the USS Midway, I got very excited. I like all things military. I served in the US Army from 1986-1997, and I got to see places I would never have if I didn't serve.
I signed up the family right away, ironed all our uniforms, and waited impatiently for the day to arrive.  Mind you, I don't know anything about the Navy, so I was looking forward to visiting the Midway and discovering a lot.  Did I!

Planes on the flight deck
The trip down to San Diego took us 3 ½ hours with traffic and we made it with just a couple of minutes to spare. At 5 pm, we lined up and went into the enclosed hanger bay where we received a safety briefing, had a fire drill, and met our staff for our overnight stay. I'd guess there were about 75 of us total and we all wore our uniforms.
We received our sleeping quarters in the enlisted berthing area and I was shocked at how small they were. It was like a tin can with just enough room to move around.
Sleeping in the tin can
 Interesting Note: Usually when I go anywhere there's always a long line for the ladies room. Not so here. On Cub Scouts outings, there's more boys and men. No wait for the ladies room!
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and eager. They were very appreciative of us veterans, reminding everyone that freedom is not free and that veterans have paid for everyone's freedom. They acknowledged us in a ceremony that was quite nice, but there was only a handful of us.
We ate dinner on the ship in the gallery downstairs. Chow was lasagna and very tasty. Afterwards, we went on a scavenger hunt and learned what life was like for the officers and pilots on the ship.

Learning about the anchors
 Our staff gave us guided tours of the engine room, (Joe's favorite part of the visit was acting like steam) the emergency control center, the flight deck, the bridge and catapult control rooms.
We learned what an air boss was, and how aircraft catapult off an aircraft carrier and how they land using a tail hook. The cables used for the tail hooks are heavy and thick. After 100 times, the cables were considered used up and thrown into the ocean.
On the bridge

So where do you think they threw leftover food and other waste?
We went to bed at 1030 pm and after all that climbing and walking, we were so pooped that sleeping in a tin can wasn't a big deal.
The next morning we had breakfast – tasty for Navy chow, but I kept it light. During our free time the boys used the simulators and we saw all the planes on the flight deck.
We got our souvenirs, said goodbye to the staff, and headed out.
A plane with the tail hook
The Midway and its story fascinated me. The ship was constructed during World War II and was originally a straight landing strip aircraft carrier. It entered service in September 1945, just missing the war by a month! Believe it or not, it was built ON TIME and IN BUDGET!!
It spent time in the Mediterranean Sea in the late 1940's. Unfortunately it's too wide to go through the Panama Canal. In the early 1950's, it went to the Pacific. From 1955-57, it was retrofitted and updated, acquiring its angled flight deck.
It conducted combat missions in Vietnam and got another retrofit in the 1960's. In 1975, Yokosuma, Japan was named the Midway's homeport.
Midway served in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and helped evacuate Clark Air Base when Mt. Pinatubo blew.  In 1992, it was decommissioned. After sitting in a shipyard up in Washington State, it was brought down to San Diego and made into a museum in 2004.
Giving the "go" for Catapult

The USS Midway served 47 years. Amazing for a ship. It wasn't run on nuclear power, but steam. My thanks go out to the Midway and it's sailors for serving our country.
Anyone visit the Midway or have a Navy adventure they'd like to share with us?  For those reading my blog who have served in the Armed Forces of your country or have relatives serving: thank you.

Michael slinked down the hall. The scent of pine grew thicker as he approached Rosa's room. His heartbeat spiked. Michael raced to her room. Footsteps shuffled on the other side of the door.

He pushed the door open. Rosa stood next to the window. She was pale, her eyes focused on the man who held a rope in his hand.

BLURB for The Hungarian:



Katherine Archibald is in search of a grand adventure. A young woman in late Victorian England, she wants to open up a book store in London and travel Europe hunting down rare books. Love isn't on her map.Enter Matthias Duma. The Hungarian count captures Katherine's attention like no other man before him with his unusual gold-malachite eyes, his exotic features, and his command of the night sky.After a night of intrigue during Katherine's birthday, she discovers the map does include love in the legend, but will the map lead her to Budapest and the dark, brooding Hungarian she's just met?EXCERPTThe door squeaked open and Katherine peeked over the top of her book. A tall, muscular man walked in wearing a white button-down shirt and holding his blazer. He paused, as if surprised to find her, and then walked toward the window, his stride easy. He moved with wolf-like prowess, his long legs taking cool, calculated steps as his unusual eyes surveyed her. Katherine bit the inside of her lip, returning his measured perusal with one of her own. His silence was unnerving, yet intriguing.His eyes drew her to him -- malachite green with a gold ring around the iris. Dynamic. Expressive. Even now, as he looked at her, they softened and grew translucent. He stopped in front of the window and casually threw his blazer onto a nearby chair as if he owned the room."Hello," he said."Hello.""You're staring.""I am? I thought you were staring at me."He chuckled. "Perhaps I was admiring you.""Me?""Who else is here?"Katherine pursed her lips as her insides warmed from the deep silkiness of his voice. He smiled and walked to her chair, slowly gliding around it, tracing his finger over the leather headrest, skirting her curly hair."What's your name?" he asked."And who is inquiring?" She tried to sound cool and composed, but she had to fight the nervous temptation to play with her hands."Romeo, perhaps?""Then my name is Juliet."A teasing smile graced his lips as he walked out from behind her chair and glanced at a bookshelf before turning to look at her again."Would you fall for Tristan?""Only if my name were Isolde."He walked over to a wooden table near the window and ran his long finger over a clay mock-up of Excalibur lodged in a stone. "What do you think of Arthur? Do you think it suits me?""Only Guinevere would believe your name was Arthur."He crossed his arms, his eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "Would you believe my name was Matthias?""I might, if--""If what?""If I knew more about you."REVIEWS:
Happily Ever After Reviews,  5 Cups"This is an excellent book and I think fans of both the paranormal and historical romances will really, really enjoy it." 
Hope Chest Reviews - 4 HeartsOverall, The Hungarian was a pretty good read. Stephanie Burkhart is good at telling an interesting story that holds my attention.
You Gotta Read Reviews - You Need to Read, LupaI was so very happily surprised by this book. The characters are enchanting, the scenes are vividly written, and the story has a fantastic flow. I really enjoyed the warm love and fiery passion that seemed to leap off the page. 
Sizzling Hot Book Reviews, 5 Hearts"I highly recommend The Hungarian, even if you aren't that interested in the paranormal such as werewolves. The romantic tale of The Hungarian is enough to win over anyone."
Reader's Favorites, 5 Stars"This book is extremely entertaining. The plot is sensual and romantic."
Coffee Time Romance, 3 Cups"Ms. Burkhart tells this tale in such a voice that we can practically feel the waves of emotions both characters are feeling coming off the pages."

Hanging out at the California Avocado Festival

Arriving at the Festival. Photo by: Andrew
Does anyone else flip through their local AAA magazine to the back? I usually discover a ton of events there. I've found the Greek Festival, the Highland Games at the Queen Mary, the Clam Chowder Festival, the Garlic Festival, Boo at the Zoo in Santa Barbara, and most recently, the Avocado Festival.
Who doesn't love a good guacamole? It was time for the boys and I to head out to Carpinteria, CA (an hour's drive north) and bask in the avocado glory.

Scoping out the food. Photo: Andrew
The festival was held 5-7 OCT. We went on Sunday, arrived at noon and discovered it was packed. They had an arts and crafts area and 3 or 4 stages were the local bands played.
Our first mission was to find the food area. My husband and I had a fish taco. The boys ate hot dogs and fries.
Big Green Monster Avocado. Photo: Joe
After we finished, we found the avocado stands. I learned there was more to the green monster than just Hass avocadoes. There was a ton of different kinds. Avocadoes are pretty recent to So Cal, introduced in the early 1900's.
Interestingly, the green beast is considered a flowering plant and in the same plant family as cinnamon and camphor.
Festival Guacamole. Photo: Joe
Just in time, we found the guacamole truck. It was tasty, but I assure you, Andrew and I can fix up some guacamole that will make you drool. 
We also found avocado smoothies and ice cream. We discovered you could put avocado slices on anything from salad to fish. I wanted to buy an avocado festival t-shirt, but the money ran out. Avocadoes ain't cheap.
Avocado stands. Photo: Andrew

Avocados are art, too. The boys' local PTA was sponsoring the yearly "Reflections" campaign and they decided to enter this year. Joe, my 7 year old, discovered he likes art after an art class this summer. They decided to enter the photography category. I gave them a couple of lessons in how to take pictures and print from a digital camera and they were off.
(We were supposed to go to Yosemite for our photo shoot but the government shutdown.)
Andrew checking out avocadoes. Photo: Joe
 Armed with our Canon Photoshot, the boys took a bunch of pictures, printed their favorites and made collages.  Cross your fingers for them. The Reflections display goes up 17 NOV.
All in all, the boys and I had a nice day trip hanging with the 'cadoes.

Guacamole, anyone?  What do you like to "fix" up with your avocadoes? I'd love to hear it. If anyone wants my guacamole recipe, let me know, I'm willing to share.

PS – these pictures were taken by the boys and used for their Reflections project.

Hi all, I'm participating in the Weekend Warriors Snippet Sunday. This month, I'll be taking snippets from my paranormal romance, "Sunrise Over Brasov."








This snippet:  Rosa is still sick, but begins to recall a memory with Michael 
*****


He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. She rolled onto her back and reached for his hand. He grasped it and closed his eyes, entering the world of her dreams.

He stood on a balcony overlooking the Black Sea. Gripping the railing, he tried to push the intense numbness of the moment away. They had buried his mother, Theresa, two days ago. Michael's heart beat with a raw intensity he couldn't define. 

****Sunrise Over Brasov is book 3 in the award winning Moldavian Moon Series.  Book 1, The Wolf's Torment, won GOLD in the 2012 Reader's Favorite Contest in Fiction: Supernatural. It was also nominated for Book of the Week with Long & Short Reviews.  Book 2, Twilight Over Moldavia was also nominated Book of the Month with Long and Short Reviews.  Just recently, the price was reduced to 2.99 - a great bargin for Halloween and spooktober.

Gothic Romance is perfect for this time of year! #gothicromance

INTRO: I remember growing up in the mid-1980's as a teenager, I loved going to the library and borrowing books by Victoria Holt and VC Andrews. They took me to far away places, introduced me to intriguing mysteries and unexplainable events. I encountered a damsel in distress and handsome, dark anti-heroes. Ah, my first love was undoubtedly Gothic Romance.
From the Editor:
Gothic literature received its start in 1764 when Horace Walpole wrote "The Castle of Oranto." Ann Radcliffe further defined the genre, giving it a sense of legitimacy when she explained the supernatural elements of the story with natural, believable, causes. She also introduced the brooding hero.  What Radcliffe did though, was give the 'gothic' the twist that defines it, by showing supernatural events grounded in reality.
Gothic romances were popular in the 1960's – 1980's. They're still popular, but paranormal romances have taken over. Some of the elements in a gothic romance include:
Atmosphere:Mystery and suspense are important to the genre as well as darkness and "unexplainable" events. The more shadows the better.
Setting:The setting compliments atmosphere. The setting is intended to be dark, dreary, creating a feeling of claustrophia or fearfulness. The setting is usually an old castle, or a family estate, possibly near a cave, or even an old abbey. The setting is meant to emphase spooky sounds, secret passages, mysterious rooms, trapped doors, and webbed staircases. The message of the setting is to paint a place of decay and desolation.
Characters:The heroine is usually a damsel in distress with no family or very little family. She may be forced to do things she doesn't want to or let down someone. The hero is her protector who falls madly in love with her and will ultimately save her from the villain.
Emotion:Gothic romance "ups" the emotion – sadness, fear, passion, crying, agitation, screaming, terror and obsessive love help build absolute desperation. Emotions also include great passion, panic, grief, and perhaps this is the appeal to the young teenage girl who feels emotions tenfold, much like the gothic heroine.
Plot:A gothic plot involves the heroine's fall from grace and her protector's efforts to save her. Complications include a powerful villain, unexplainable events (rooted in natural causes) omens, prophecies, and the fear of death.
MetonymiesThis is a metaphor like rain which is used to represent something else like sorrow.
Some modern gothic romance writers include Mary Stewart and Victoria Holt.  Question: Who is your favorite gothic romance author? Who would you recommend for your teenager daughter/neice? 


Have a spooky Halloween!
Reivews for Sunrise Over Brasov:
 "You will love this paranormal romantic novel." 5 Stars, Reader's Favorites Reviews
BLURB: 
Prince Michael Sigmaringen joins his sister-in-law, Caroline, and the vampire prince, Darius, in a daring rescue of his beloved at Poiana Brasov. However things aren't what they appear. Upon freeing Rosa from the werewolf, Clement, another wolf, Rickard follows them.

Michael soon discovers Rickard is a new breed of werewolf – one who can control his lupine nature and his transformations. Michael and his companions arrive at the vampire fortress, Rasnov, but can go no further when Clement attacks wanting Rosa and Rickard back.

Michael's courage, strength, and convictions are challenged beyond his limits, but his love for Rosa proves his guiding force. Can Michael finally rid his family of their lupine haunting and win Rosa's heart?
EXCERPT: 

He raised his hand and lowered his hood. An inherent strength filled his profile. Confidence. Concern. Relief.Rosa's breath jammed in her throat. He looked familiar. He smelled familiar."Rosa, it's Michael. Let's go.""I'm not going anywhere with you."A frown set against his rugged features. "I don't have time to argue -- now put on a warm dress and cloak.""No." She was not going anywhere with him despite the relief in his voice.He sighed and shut the door. Moving with fluid grace, he crossed the room, jerked the door to her closet open and threw the items he wanted her to wear on her bed. "Get. Dressed.""No." She was determined not to budge, despite the danger outside."Rosa, we're leaving.""I'm staying.""Why would you want to stay? Clement kidnapped you."Disconcerted, she pointedly glanced away from his hard stare. What did he mean by kidnapped? Clement didn't keep her behind bars and feed her only bread and water. Rosa could even go into Brasov to shop as long as Lucien or one of the bodyguards went with her."I'm going to take you back to your mother."Her head snapped toward his direction. Mother? Of course she had a mother -- a family, even -- only she had no recollection of them. So why did her body fill with warmth at the mention of her mother by a man she hadn't seen before, but was hauntingly familiar? She pursed her lips, torn by conflicting emotions."Caroline and Darius can't keep this up. Now get dressed or I'll dress you myself.""You'll find me an unwilling subject."He drew in a deep breath and raked a hand through his thick ebony hair. "You are exasperating.""So I've been told."BUY LINKS:AMAZON:http://amzn.com/B00DVLRJOU

This snippet:  Michael and Rosa have arrived at Rasnov.
*****

Michael knew something was wrong from the sound of her voice. He flung open the door and found her laying on the bed, her body shivering.

His stomach clenched. "Michael..."

He knelt next to the bed and placed his hand on her forehead. She was burning up. Her cold had progressed awfully fast. Or was this the work of anise withdrawal?
