AtoZ2017 - H is for He-Man & Derek Hale #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 8 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter H. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

H is for He-Man No, this isn't from the movie Masters of the Universe again because He-Man is never Adam in that. Today I am talking about the original cartoon.

Prince Adam of Eternia is given the Sword of Power by the Sorceress, which give him to power of Greyskull an...

AtoZ2017 - G is for Guyver & Michael Gallatin #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 7 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter G. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

G is for Guyver So you could argue that the Guyver isn't really a shapeshifter, since it's really alien armour covering a human, but I would disagree. The armour is almost an entity and it definitely changes shape, disappearing into Sean when not in use.

Sean Barker ac...

AtoZ2017 - F is for Face-Dancer & Fenrir Greyback #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 6 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter F. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

F is for Face-Dancer Today we go scifi with a serious dose of fantasy in Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, or as it was made by SciFi Channel, Children of Dune, since they put both books together.

A Face-Dancer is a Tleilaxian who has the ability to mimic any human th...

AtoZ2017 - E is for Evil-Lyn & Captain Etienne of Navarre #AtoZChallenge,

Welcome to Day 5 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter E. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

E is for Evil-lyn So you might have noticed that I have a liking for 80s movies. What can I say, I am a child of the 80s. Today we have another shapeshifter from one of the decade's glorious films: Masters of the Universe.

Evil-Lyn, played wonderfully by the stunning

AtoZ2017 - D is for Thulsa Doom & Draugluin #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 4 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter D. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

D is for Thulsa Doom Okay, I admit it, I'm back to Conan, but this time Conan the Barbarian, and how could I not mention Thulsa Doom, as played by the great James Earl Jones.

Thulsa Doom is basically responsible for creating Conan. By massacring Conan's people, th...

AtoZ2017 - C is for Charlie Waterman & Michael Corvin #AtoZChallenge

C is for Charlie Waterman So this is where I get in a little self promotion :). My shapeshifter of the day is Charlie Waterman, the main protagonist of my series The Chronicles of Charlie Waterman.

Charlie is pretty much your ordinary eighteen year old, just getting re...

AtoZ2017 - B is for Bruce Banner & Sylvie Baker #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 2 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter B. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

B is for Bruce Banner "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

For anyone who grew up in the seventies those words are iconic. Of course he happens to be David Banner in that, rather than Bruce. So the Banner I am really refering to is from Marvel Ci...

AtoZ2017 - A is for toth-Amon & Andy McDermott #AtoZChallenge

Welcome to Day 1 of the AtoZChallenge and the letter A. Every day in April (except Sundays) I will be making a post about shapeshifters of all kinds as well as werewolf of the day. Check back to see my choices and, from time to time some flash fiction too.

A is for Toth-Amon (Conan the Destroyer) Toth-Amon is a powerful socererer from the high fantasy world of Conan the Barbarian. He is character well known to those who read about Conan, but the incarnation I have chosen is from the film C...

#AtoZChallenge 2017 - Theme Reveal! Drum roll please...

So today is the day of the big theme reveal for the AtoZChallenge 2017. All over the blogsphere bloggers are posting to tell the world what theme they have picked for this year's April.

Just in case you don't know, the AtoZChallenge takes place during April, where bloggers post every day except Sundays, using a letter of the alphabet as a prompt (1st=A, 3rd=B etc). Some of us have a theme and we get to announce it to everyone on theme reveal day.

Now if you look back over my themes for the year...

Holiday Hiatus :)

So my darling husband and I are off to Canada on Friday for our 20th anniversary trip. We had our honeymoon in Vancouver, took our 10th anniversary trip in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island, and now we off back to BC for our 20th :).



Rob's parents are kindly house and cat sitting for us so we don't have to worry about our kitties. Yay!
The ideas of Amber & Ruby having no one sleeping in the house for the entire time or Amber in conjunction with any kind of cattery were rather nightmarish. O...
