In which Daniel Craig loses to a hamstah AND much, much more….
Take Our Poll
Excuse me dudes…if I can be so bold as to stick my blabby big mouth in here, .can we loosen up and welcome today’s guests?
Well, you see the thing is today’s guests are yourselves.
Yes. The lovely Noelle Clark has done you a special blog
http://www.noelleclark.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/its-christmas-hamster-hamper.html
Oh quit it with the ungrateful whinges.
No. Cos I brought Noelle’s blog here for those of you who need to stop moaning.
Here it is…word for word what she said.
It’s the Christmas Hamster Hamper!!
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hoose
Not a creature was stirring, except hamsters with tongues all a-loose
They whined and they argued, they’d cooked their own goose
But the biggest question was, had they been naughty or noice?
Today I am celebrating the fun, friendship, and frivolity that our little friends, the Hamsters from Shey’s Blog, deserve. Today, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you —
THE CHRISTMAS HAMSTER HAMPER Let’s meet them all:
Mitsy
Ratsy
The Dood
DO NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD EXCEPT THANK YOU, YOU LOT OR YOU WILL FACE THE WRATH OF SHEY.Fez
Ginger
Dougal
Vinnie
McHoots
Bobsleigh
Tink
Hamstah Dickens
The Sheystah
Yes, the little pack of hamsters who have kept Shehanne Moore, and us, company all year are suffering from a very debilitating illness – Christmas Countdown Regret.
You see, everyone knows that for Santa to bring you presents at Christmas, you have to lead an exemplary life, a year of being kind, helpful, friendly, hard working. The big test comes a month or so before Christmas, as soon as all the supermarkets and department stores drag out the tinsel and trees.
And that test is: Have you been a good hamster all year? Have you been naughty or nice?
Okay, most of us lie through our teeth, and no doubt some of the hamsters will do that too, but a couple of the more…sensitive…hamsters will answer truthfully, and will wake up on Christmas morning with nothing under the tree for them.
So, in an effort to help Shehanne’s furry little friends step up a little and ensure that they get a gift under the tree from Santa, I’m going to teach them some rules.(We all know how much Shehanne loves rules.)
Rule 1: Thou shalt not whinge, whine, or carry on when Shey constantly overlooks you in favour of some fancy US Best Seller author, or some tramp who writes naughty books.
Rule 2: Thou shalt not interrupt when Shey is speaking. The consequences of you continuing to do this are awful. Heck, you’ve seen what happened to Mr Shey! He’s lost all his hair from being told to shut up all the time. A bald hamster will be a very cold hamster in the freezing Dundonian winter.
Rule 3: Thou shalt learn to bring Shehanne her slippers without her even asking; fill her wine glass before it’s empty; and help her in her new garden. Reason is, a happy Shey makes for a happy day.
Rule 4: Never, never, NEVER, interrupt Shehanne when she is on a deadline, or has edits to do. This will make her angry, and she will withhold certain important…favours…such as feeding you, changing your water bowl, and letting you visit her blog posts.
Time for some Christmas Carols.
Hint: sing this to the tune of the First Noel.
The first little Hamstah, appeared in Shey’s post
And to certain poor authors, they were the ultimate hosts.
Always cheerful and glad, and happy all the while
They brightened our days with their innocent guile.
Hamsters, hamsters, hamsters, hamsters
Move over Shey, and give room to hamsters.
Here’s a cute little guy to sing for you:
Well little hamstahs has Noelle Clark silenced you. Let’s ask what our visitors think.

T’was the Night Before Christmas….
Okay….Okay… Can we just ge back with the program here.
Today we have some very special ladies, not just with a FREE Christmas ebook
but some seasonal good wishes. Dudes, let us welcome…..
Eva Scott. Elizabeth Ellen Carter.
Noelle Clark and Susanne Bellamy
Now then, the exciting part, ladies, give it to us straight….what is your all time fav Christmas song and very briefly why?
Noelle – O Holy Night. I just love the way it soars. Hearing it never fails to make me tear up.
Eva – Little Drummer Boy for me. It’s the perfect combination of solemnity and joy.Gets me every time.
E.E.I agree with Noelle I love O Holy Night, but since she got there first ;) I love Joy To The World
Susanne – Love IlDivo’s version of “Oh, Holy Night” too but for me, it’s “Six White Boomers” which is inextricably linked to my children’s delight in all things Christmas when they were little.
Ladies your favorite Christmas film and why?
Noelle – Can’t not watch Home Alone 1 and 2 each year, and now my grandchildren love them too. Extra fun. I love seeing the snow and especially the scenes in Central Park in HA 2.
Eva – While You Were Sleeping. Never gets old for me. And if I can be cheeky and pick two films the second will be Love Actually.Another great Christmas flick.
E.E.The Thin Man (1934) with Myrna Loy and William Powell. A murder mystery set at Christmas with the most sassy, romantic detectives you will ever meet. And, Die Hard (1988), just thing to watch while Christmas lunch settles.
Susanne – “White Christmas”. My family used to watch it every Christmas Day when I was a child. It’s tied in to my Mum and Dad and sister who are no longer with us.
Noelle. Can you give us favourite Christmas memory?
I have three siblings and ten nieces and nephews. When the nieces and nephews were all little, and mine were tiny, we all gathered at a local park at one of our nearby beaches for Christmas lunch. We’d all take food to share, play games, swim. Was fun. But then our families grew up and we now celebrate separately, with our own little broods. I miss those big gatherings.
Eva. Share a special Christmas recipe.
I host Christmas Eve dinner and my guests get to vote on what stays on the menu for next year. This is a huge favourite which I think you’ll enjoy for any special occasion.
Chocolate and Raspberry Cheesecake
Grease and line a 24cm spring form cake pan with baking paper.
Preheat oven to 160C.
Process 300g chocolate biscuits until smooth.
Stir through 125g melted butter and pour into prepared cake pan.
Using the back of a spoon smooth the biscuit mixture evenly into the base.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Beat 3 eggs and ¾ cup caster sugar for 1 minute.
Add 2 x 200g soften cream cheese blocks and beat until smooth.
If your cheesecake does crack simply smother the top with whipped cream and serve! Enjoy!
EE. How will you spend this Christmas?
My husband and I are ‘orphans’ but we’ve been adopted by some very dear friends, so after church, we’ll be going up to Mt Tamborine and drink champagne.
Susanne.The low down on a fav Christmas Day game.
Our Christmases are spent at the beach with family. Games centre around the pool and usually involve a ball. “Piggy-in-the-Middle” mixed with baseball practice is the closest way to describe it!
Noelle.The hook for your story.
Look back on memories with fondness; but be excited about the future. Time stands still for no one, so love every moment of life.
Eva.Two lines about the heroine in yours.
Molly is a gal who struggles to see that she’s fine just as she is. She’s warm, earthy, caring and just needs to see herself through Love’s eyes.
EE. Tell us briefly about your hero.
Lieutenant Michael Renten is a naval officer who has been charged with exposing smugglers on the Devon Coast. He is tall, handsome and very resourceful.
Susanne. How does your story fit with the title? –
Christmas is about families coming together and the idea of giving, preferably not in a materialistic manner. The greatest gifts are life and love and “A Touch of Christmas” offers both in unexpected ways. The most memorable gifts are those made with love, time and effort. I hope my final image sums up this concept.
Who or what would you most like to find in your stocking.
Noelle - A bottle of elixir that cures all sadness, illness, and poverty for every person on this planet.
Eva – Such a hard question! But I think I’ll settle on a housekeeper. (Are you listening G.W. Gibson?)
E.E. Actually, can I have the stocking? I love soft and silky stockings and they’re so hard to find now. Stay ups just aren’t the same with suspenders.
Susanne – Daniel Craig ;) Failing his availability,
I’d be thrilled with a new Il Divo CD.

‘Sands of Time’ by Noelle Clark
BIOS.
Noelle:
Noelle Clark is an Australian author of contemporary romance and commercial historical fiction novels. Her books weave romance, intrigue, and adventure into colourful and often exotic locations around the world. Widely travelled, Noelle uses real life experience of places, culture, and people as a backdrop to her stories, giving the reader an authentic taste of the location. Her novels feature strong, mature heroines and heroes, who—often without knowing it—are ready for new beginnings. She lives close to the sea and shares her home with two cats and two dogs. She has two grown up children, and five very small grandchildren. When Noelle’s not writing and travelling, she plays guitar, tends her vegetable garden, enjoys the company of family and friends, and—of course—reading.
Eva:
Eva Scott writes contemporary romance set in her homeland of Australia and historical fiction set in the Ancient World. Her books offer passion and adventure in some of the most beautiful and intriguing places in the world. Her heroes and heroines are strong, sassy and ready to rise to their challenges, and learn a little bit about themselves along the way.
She lives on the Redcliffe peninsula with her husband, small son and an assortment of animals. When Eva is not writing she enjoys mentoring first-time authors, cooking up a story, practising yoga and getting out on the bay on her stand-up paddle board.
EE:
A future with words was always on the book for Elizabeth Ellen Carter who started writing her own stories when she ran out of Nancy Drew mysteries to read when she was 10.
Using her mother’s Olivetti type writer with the italic keyboard, she spent endless school holidays making up her own stories and then using the Dewey Decimal System to arrange and categories her bookshelf.
Somewhere around the age of 13 she determined to become a journalist and at 17 was awarded a cadetship to the Gold Coast Bulletin.
She covered news, council, education, health but had the most fun as the paper’s entertainment and features reporter covering film, TV and music.
Best of all she met her husband there and together they started a small award-winning media, marketing and advertising agency and now she works as marketing manager for an international organic skin care company.
In 2012, Elizabeth also returned to the keyboard to write stories (and laptops are so much better than manual typewriters).
Her debut, Moonstone Obsession was shortlisted for the 2013 Romance Writers Of Australia’s Emerald Awards for unpublished manuscripts.
It was published by Etopia Press on October 18, 2013.
Her second historical romance is Warrior’s Surrender, set in England in the years after the Conquest of England by William in 1066.
It will be published by Etopia Press on November 7, 2014.
Susanne:
Susanne is an Australian author of contemporary and suspense romances set in exciting and often exotic locations. Her heroes have to be pretty special to live up to the real life one she married. He saved her life then married her. They live on the edge of bush land on a mountain in beautiful sunny Queensland, Australia with two children and their dog.
Paris will always be one of her top spots, and she fell in love with Scotland when they visited the west coast (nothing to do with fine single malts!), and recently had her first real trip to Italy–tick off one Bucket List item! She has enjoyed New Year in Kathmandu and trekked in the Annapurnas, sailed in Ha Long Bay on a junk, and stayed on a floating hotel beside a tethered elephant in Thailand. The Peak in Hong Kong and Mt Faber cable car ride in Singapore are favourite spots. Susanne loves travelling to new places and exploring the culture and history, and meeting new people. These experiences are gradually being incorporated into her stories.
Her as yet unrealised dream is a trip into Earth’s orbit.
Susanne is a member of RWA and enjoys mentoring new authors. She is published with Escape Publishing, and will be a 2015 release author with Entangled Publishing.

It’s Hamstah week and the debt of Noelle Clark
DERMOT
Brian
Honor’s Debt
On a quest to make amends for a long-ago indiscretion, Honor unexpectedly discovers the one thing she’s been missing in her life.
Honor Quirk arrives in Ireland excited—and a bit anxious—about meeting up with the estranged family of her late great-grandmother. The welcome from the residents of Robinhill Farm, Dermot and Bryan, is confusing and far from comforting. One is warm, the other aggressive. The outwardly antagonistic Bryan makes it very clear he doesn’t want her there, branding her a gold digger.
Dermot, on the other hand, is delighted to meet her.
But Honor is no pushover and stands up to Bryan, letting him know that his bad attitude and trail of baggage have nothing to do with her. Despite their confrontational and hostile relationship, an undeniable attraction to each other creeps insidiously into the house on Robinhill Farm. They both desperately try to stifle the sparks, but living under the same roof makes it impossible. Unable to cope with the turmoil of living with Bryan, Honor runs away, straight into the arms of a charming newfound friend, Sean, who offers her a home—and love.
Shattered, Bryan finally takes control of his irrational belief that all women are evil, and fights to bring back the woman he loves. But is it too late?

Down some cold field in a world outspoken. Peter Black and the Newport War Memorial
Just before dawn on the 18th of September 1916, Peter Black ‘an incorrigible and worthless solder’ of the 4th Black Watch ‘scum of Dundee’ was executed at La Creche, on the French/Belgium border. His crime? Deserting from the Somme area for the second time. A former resident of the Fife town of Newport-On-Tay. Peter was roughly twenty one. 
It was what a lot of young men were doing, many without realizing just what they were signing up for. And who wanted to be handed a white feather in the street, after all? 
The problem really wasn’t what to do about these men during the war…. No, that was very clear from the numbers who were branded cowards and shot. The problem was what to do about them after. One town was very clear. The community’s sons had gone to war together and now that same community would refuse a memorial unless all its dead ‘came home’ …together.
. Lest anyone think this was an idle threat…. 
And so, a town sticking to its guns, bucked a nation’s dilemma. Peter Black’s name was on the memorial when it was unveiled. 
At the going down of the sun indeed. This has been a different post today, I know. So, I’m going to leave you with this one last fact.

A Soul’s Day with Nancy Fraser
‘So….The proverbial question … which came first? The chicken or the egg?
As a writer, one of the things I find most difficult when creating a new story is selecting the best title for my work. I’ll sometimes start with a “really cool” idea for a title, and plan my book around that. Usually about half-way through, my characters start demanding something different. Or, the story has changed and the title no longer fits. One of the many things I’ve learned in over 20 years of writing romantic fiction: DO NOT become attached to your title!
A perfect example of choosing the title first came with my recently released contemporary romance, Home is Where the Hunk is. The original title was Picture Imperfect – based on the story idea that my heroine was a world-renowned photojournalist and her return to her family home is anything but perfect.
For once, my characters didn’t waiver, or demand something different. The request for change came from the publisher who cited that there were too many similar titles.
I tossed out a couple of replacements, sending Home is Where the Hunk is as a silly afterthought. And, wouldn’t you know it … that was the one they liked. The best part is … the title has gone over really well despite my initial misgivings.
One of the most frustrating things about titles revolves around rejection. I remember way back at the beginning of my writing journey I’d submitted a manuscript to a major publisher. I loved the story, I loved the title … but apparently I was the only one. The book was rejected. However, about nine months later I saw my title on one of the publisher’s new releases in the same series line I’d submitted to!
I happened to run into the author at a conference that following summer and introduced myself and commented on her book and title. She gave me this long sigh and said, “That wasn’t the title I’d given the book. They changed it on me about halfway through the editing process.” I didn’t say anything but the urge to boycott the publisher was paramount in my mind!
What’s the secret to keeping your title? Well, if you have star power, or a really great agent, you can negotiate it into your contract. OR, you can do what I did with my ten-book novella series, The Golden Decade of Rock and Roll, with The Wild Rose Press … you can use song titles!
Of course, then, you’re stuck with the title … no matter how much your characters complain.
Whatever way you go about choosing your title, the most important thing is the content of the book. Your attention, as the author, should be to produce the best book you can write. The title will fall into place when it needs to.’
About the Book:
When globe-trotting photographer Allison Cain comes home to her family ranch in Montana it’s to get to know her nephew and to make amends with the widowed brother-in-law she’s left alone to raise his young son.
Evan Carver could never deny his late wife’s younger sister anything, despite the fact she’s been conspicuously absent over the past three years since her sister’s death. Now she’s home again on what she’s called an extended vacation. Evan’s first concern is for his son, Cody, and how his aunt’s visit will affect the five year old when she decides to return to her high profile career.
Allison has no intention of going back to work. In addition to getting to know Cody, she needs to confess her biggest secret to Evan. How do you tell the man you’ve always loved that you’re not just his son’s aunt, but also his mother?
Excerpt:
Slowly she raised her head. Unshed tears filled her eyes, making them glisten like liquid stars. Evan felt a lump form in his own throat. She blinked rapidly in what Evan suspected was a conscious effort to hide her emotions. A knot tightened his gut. He had the sudden urge to take Ali in his arms, as he’d done the day she arrived, and bury her face against his chest, preferably without the argument that followed.
In the very back of his over-used imagination, he could see her coming willingly into his arms. He could feel the heat of her tears against his chest. His reaction surprised and frightened him in equal measure. He didn’t want to feel this way about her, especially when he knew she wouldn’t stay.
“Me, too,” she admitted softly, drawing Evan’s attention from her teary eyes to her soft, pink lips. The tears she’d been fighting back so tenaciously now pearled on her lashes, threatening to spill forth at any second.
Evan moved away from the tree, inching his way around Cody and close to Allison’s side. Cautiously, he lifted his hand and caught the first tear on his thumb, uncertain of exactly what had made her cry, yet knowing he selfishly welcomed the chance to offer her comfort.
“When I left South America, the only thing I could think of was coming here. I wanted desperately to feel the lush grass beneath my bare feet and to smell the fresh, clean air.”
“I don’t care what made you decide to come home. You’re here now and welcome to stay as long as you like.” Drawing her into his arms, he held her close and tilted her chin up with his fingertips until their gazes met.
At the first touch of his lips to hers, Evan tasted the cinnamon and apple of the dessert they’d just consumed. He pressed his lips more firmly to hers. She hesitated only briefly before returning his kiss with one of her own. He barely had time to consider what they’d done when Ali’s trembling voice broke through his consciousness.
“Evan,” she whispered. “Don’t, please.” Pressing her hands to his chest, she pushed lightly. Yet, when he would have backed away, she clenched the front of his shirt tightly in her fists. “We can’t . . .” she warned, still seemingly unwilling to let him go.
“Ali, it was only a kiss.”
She looked up at him with tear-filled eyes and Evan knew if he didn’t let her go he’d likely do something they’d both regret. Gently, he grasped her hands in his and pulled them from the death grip she’d taken on his shirt. With his thumb he wiped away a final spent tear then released her completely. A moment later he was on his feet and walking back toward the damaged fence. It would take every ounce of strength he possessed, he realized, to keep from turning around and taking her into his arms again.
Author Bio:
Like most authors, Nancy Fraser began writing at an early age, usually on the walls and with crayons or, heaven forbid, permanent markers. Her love of writing often made her the English teacher’s pet, which, of course, resulted in a whole lot of teasing. Still, it was worth it.
When not writing (which is almost never), Nancy dotes on her five beautiful grandchildren and looks forward to traveling and reading when time permits. Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where she enjoys the relaxed pace and colorful people. She invites you to visit her website (www.nancyfraser.ca) and follow her on Twitter (@nfraserauthor). Or, more importantly, just enjoy what she writes.

From Bear Mountain to Wolf Creek…Happy Halloween
Dudes….is this wise? I mean, I never let that delusional hamster in here.
Dudes, can we seriously quit sounding like Fury and Flint and get with the program for the rest of the Spooktacular. It’s Halloween and time is running out.
For when you go to visit her blog…yes..
Look….the bear picture was an honest mistake. Lace sent that weeks ago. I forgot it was there. 
After Noelle invited you, Cat Cavendish invited you AND Lace Winter gave you a lovely blog award.
Of course she didn’t. 
Lace deeply regrets that photograph which she sent you in good faith.
For your own safety…….I have shed buckets.
But, if you cannot find it in your hamstah hearts to welcome Noelle to the last post in the Spooktacular, well I shall just have to do it myself. AND swipe the blog award. AND have a hamstahs week.
I know. But as they say, it is not raining either. Now then, Noelle Clark is an Aussie author and a wonderful supporter of other authors.
In another few weeks she has a new book coming out, which I know she worried about ever seeing the light of day.
Nice huh?
But you do, cos it’s not. Anyway Noelle isn’t here today to talk about that. What she drew out the cauldron wasn’t a recipe, it wasn’t an interview, it wasn’t a spooky place, or character. NO…What she drew was the following…
‘Whilst my generation of Aussies don’t really celebrate – or understand – Halloween, the younger generation are embracing the Trick or Treat fun with gusto.
These days, supermarkets are decorated in ‘scary’ stuff, pumpkins, and witches, and I have to ensure I buy some lollies to hand out to the local kids in my street. Heck, don’t want them to egg my car!
But if I had to choose the singular most scary movie that I’ve ever watched (through slits in my fingers because my hands covered my face), then I would choose……
Sorry dudes….the Australian movie Wolf Creek. Scared the you-know-what outta me!
There’s now Wolf Creek 2 out, but I haven’t seen it yet. Not sure I will either.’
Check out this trailer and see what you reckon.
And for more Australian Halloween-ish scary movies, check these out:

Happy Halloween everyone!!
