Myth or Monster Monday: Tuatha Dé Danann

Tuatha Dé Danann, Artist UnknownSince today is St. Patrick's Day, I thought it fitting that our myth come from the Irish. So I present to you the Tuatha Dé Danann.

The Tuatha Dé Danann (meaning tribes of the goddess Danu) are the mythical beings. They are descended from Neimheadh and came to Ireland from Falias, Finias, Gorias, and Murias. When they arrived in Ireland, according to some, darkness settled over the land for three long days and nights.

The Tuatha Dé Danann brought w...

Write drunk, edit sober... plot drugged?

I caught the stomach plague early this week, and it is been clinging for all it's worth. I dehydrated fast, so on Wednesday afternoon, SS dragged me to the doctor for fluids and drugs. I don't like to take medication that makes me sleep because it tends to give me horrific nightmares, but actual sleep wasn't exactly happening without them (and let's face it... even nightmares are preferable to violent projectile vomiting every time you move, right? Right.) so I've been taking them religiously...

Teaser Tuesday: Rhapsody (The Teplo Files: Two) #nsfw

Hello, lovelies!

I have another teaser from the Teplo Files for you. I've sent the first book of the trilogy, Ravished, off to the beta team to see what they think about where I decided to end it. While they work their magic, I've been editing through the second book (tentatively titled Rhapsody). This particular teaser comes from there and is probably NSFW. Unless your boss doesn't mind you reading naughtiness... in which case I'd like to be your new coworker, please. ;)

Enjoy!

Teaser Tuesday: Ravished (The Teplo Files) #romance

Happy Tuesday, lovelies!
I've spent the last couple days curled up under a mound of blankets with Ravished, hiding out from Titan. The storm has been a beast! As much as I detest summer, I'm beginning to look forward to warmer months. It'll be wonderful to sit outside and write again! I miss doing that. I hope warmer, gentler weather is upon all of you soon too. But just in case you're hiding out under the blankets today, I thought I'd give you another little teaser to warm you up. T...
