Manananngal Vampire Sighting - Fact or Fiction?
I
haven't been around much because I've been writing like a freak. Currently,
I've been focusing on the third book in my Díon series called "Where Will
You Turn?"
One
of the things that I love about this series is that I get to use creatures from actual
lore. I thought it would seem more realistic if there were sightings and reports of
the paranormal beings I use in my books, so I spend a lot

Putting a Loved One in a Care Home
For
those of you following me, you know that my father has a terminal neurological
disorder and has been living with us for the past eight years. The last year
has been incredibly difficult. Dad disease has progressed to the point that we
can no longer care for him, but because we have been fighting with the IRS
about a tax issue of his, we have not been able to get him the care that he
needs.

Eminem and Crazy Chicken
The
other day, I was coming home from work, and I was feeling a little grumpy. I
had my husband's car, so I decided to take advantage of his incredible sound
system to help cheer myself up on the way home. I put on an Eminem CD. Now that's
not what I listen to normally, but when I'm in a bad mood, he cheers me up. His
cuss filled rants make me giggle. I know that's probably not what he had

Fast Metabolism Diet - A Review
Having
struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember, I have tried more
diets, pills and weight loss gimmicks than I can shake a stick at. Nothing has
worked long term. Over the years, I have probably gained and lost enough weight
to make up an entire NFL football team.
As
far as weird diets go, if you've heard of it, I've probably tried it at some point.

Virtual Sports Injuries - Xbox Kinect
We
were given an XBox Kinect for Christmas, and like most people who watch the
commercials, we thought it would be a great way to get the family up and moving
around. It came with a dancing game and a couple of sports games.
We
fired it up and put in the sports game. Now we had a party. My brother
and I are very competitive, so we started with the tennis game. Like other

The Chocolate Bar I'd Kill For
Awhile
ago, my friend, Shelbi, and I were visiting my sister. One night, they had
invited some friends over for dinner. It wasn't long after Halloween, so after
we ate, they brought out the left over candy bars, and we all started picking
out our old favorites.
My
brother-in-law is from Ireland, and his brother had just come back from England
with some chocolate from there. I was surprised

I
love to share great indie news, and this is an awesome one. A good friend of
mine and fellow indie author, Thomas Amo, has started an internet radio station
to showcase indie artists as well as great music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
It’s

Real Life Romance
You
all know I’m a sucker for romance, so imagine my delight when I learned a
family member had a wonderful story to tell.
My
dad’s brother was an amazing human being. He was a gigantic, fun loving man. I
remember when he used to have me and my brother lock our hands over his biceps,
and he’d lift us up and spin us while we laughed hysterically. His wife was a
quiet woman who was deeply
