Mae Clair: The Lovely Blogger Award

The wonderfully prolific Kitt Crescendo recently nominated me for the One Lovely Blogger award. If you’re not familiar with Kitt’s blog theinnerwildkat you need to hop over and start reading pronto. She’s brilliantly creative and always delivers a thought-provoking post. Thanks for the nomination, Kitt!

So how does this particular award work? Well, to start I’m supposed to share seven random tidbits about moi. Yes I realize the anticipation is tantamount to a lunar shuttle launch, but try to r...

Mae Clair’s Wizards with Words: Deborah Palumbo

Hello friends, and welcome to another Wizards with Words feature. Today, I’m welcoming author Deborah Palumbo who writes historicals as well as paranormal romances laced with mystery and mystery/crime. Given my love of history, romance, and things that go-bump in the night, I had to invite her to drop by for a visit. I met Deborah through a forum called Book Blogs and we soon started talking books and writing.

Hi, Deborah, and welcome to my humble blog haunt.

Deborah: Mae, first I want to say t...

Mae Clair’s Mythical Monday: The Northern Lights

This is another of those Mythical Monday posts that resonates strongly with me. As far back as I can remember I’ve been fascinated by the Northern Lights. When the movie Frequency debuted, I was in heaven. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. It ranks among my favorite movies of all time. Not only is the story utterly amazing and the Northern Lights key, but the ending rocked my world! Added plus: Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid in the lead roles. *happy sigh*

The Northern Lights are also featu...

Mae Clair’s SSS: I Want to See You Again

Six Sentence Sunday 9-16-12

Hey, it’s a September Six Sentence Sunday! Tell me that isn’t a mouthful

I’m sharing from WEATHERING ROCK again, though I’m jumping ahead and winding down to the end of the first date between my hero, Caleb DeCardian, and heroine, Arianna Hart. They’ve had dinner, shared a kiss that became too intimate for Arianna, prompting her to announce she was leaving. She also mentioned seeing a ‘wolf-like animal’ on a previous visit to Weathering Rock (Caleb’s home). The rev...

Mae Clair’s Wizards with Words: Renita Pizzitola

Hello and welcome to another Wizardswith Words interview. Today, I’m welcoming Renita Pizzitola to my blog. Renita is a sister author at Lyrical Press and, like me, has a debut novel releasing on October 8th. Everything about her young adult novel, GOSSAMER (book one of the GOSSAMER series) hooked me the moment I heard about it. From the title, to the beautiful cover and compelling plot, I knew this was going on my TBR list. I love Celtic folklore any anything related to the Fae. But I’m gett...

Mae Clair: I’m Traveling Today!

Got your ticket?

Come visit me at Renita Pizzitola’s blog, Think Whimsy.

Renita is a sister author at Lyrical Press and is interviewing me today! It’s only my second interviewso, naturally, I’m excited. Especially since I get to chat about werewolves, a hunky Civil War colonel named Caleb, WEATHERING ROCK, writing, and my next project.

Grab a flight and hop o...

Mae Clair’s Mythical Monday: The Benevolent Giant of Loch Ness

The water is dark, murky and cold,

layered with shadow along the shore,

ancient cradle to a primordial beast,

past, present,forevermore.

Do you have certain myths that resonate with you? Ones that you hope will never be disproven? The Loch Ness Monster is my magical myth. I’ve been enamored of Nessie since childhood, hoping she lives somewhere in that deep, cold lake in the Scottish Highlands.

I think it’s only natural we crave definitive proof fantastical elements exist. Admittedly, there is a pa...

Mae Clair’s Wizards with Words: L.J. Kentowski

Hello, friends! I’m excited to have Word WizardL.J. Kentowski on my blog today talking about her FATE SERIES. Book #1, GUARDIAN OF FATE has already been released and book #2, SEEKER OF FATE is a short time away from its debut. I had the pleasure of reading GUARDIAN OF FATE over the summer and was sucked into the tale from the opening paragraphs. L.J. has created an intriguing cast of characters and an entire world mythology that builds and spirals to greater peaks with each sequence of events...

Mae Clair: A Lifetime’s Journey

I recently discovered Google Alerts. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a pretty cool system that allows you to type in a string or reference phrase. Any time those words appear in web content you receive an email alert. Because I’m anxious to learn when WEATHERING ROCK is going to appear on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and a few other sites, I set up alerts for the book title plus Mae Clair.

Yesterday I received a death notice for Ola Mae Clair. At first I had that sad creepy sensation that always...
