Answering Questions with the Crocodile God

Today being the 13th, I’m blogging over at Paranormal Romantics. I invited Sobek the Crocodile God, hero of my novella Priestess of the Nile, to answer some questions for inquiring minds.

We saved one question for here, to entice you to follow us over there LOL:

What is the quality you like most in a woman?(Sobek sips his beer for a moment.) A loving heart, which my Merys has – ask anyone, including her half sisters! You know, I love to listen to singing and there’s a set of lines from one of...

Veterans Day Post – The Incredible Navajo Code Talkers

I like to think that the willingness of the American military to employ unusual tactics and unexpected strategies on occasion is one of our nation’s strengths. I’ve always been fascinated by the Navajo Code Talkers in World War II, partly because it was such a brilliant concept and also because they were so willing to go to war on behalf of the US with their special skill. Earlier this month I saw that one of the few remaining code talkers had died, so I decided to write about this chapter of...

Six Sentence Sunday – Science Fiction Happily Ever After

Still no word on whether the publisher considering this SF novel will be making an offer for it…but I realized I’d drifted into pubbing the entire book here in six sentence increments LOL! So I’ll leave the exact details of how Andi and the urabu fight the alien Betang for the book, whenever it sees the light of “published day”. To close out this series of Six Sentence Sundays, here’s a piece of the HEA and thanks to everyone for all the encouragement along the way!

Tom is speaking as the exce...

Who Would You Be Once Upon A Time?

One of my favorite TV programs is ONCE UPON A TIME and I particularly enjoy the way many fairy tale characters and people from other fantastical stories are introduced – they’re never quite what you expect. The fun starts there!

I’ve thought long and hard about which fairy tale character I’d be, if I popped up suddenly in OUAT. My decision is – (blare of trumpets and drum roll) – Elisa the Wild Swan Princess from Hans Christian Andersen. No, not THE Swan Princess from Grimm’s Fairy Tales and t...
