#Book Review: Hunted Angel by Alex Apostol 5/5 Stars
Overview: Continuing where we left off in Earth Angel, Kamlyn Paige has defeated the Lamia that killed her precious little son and has found a new love interest. As their relationship heated up, the threat of his boss increased and he was taken from Kamlyn. Now the search ensues as she requests the help of her only family left and a stray dog she found outside of a ghost ball. Traveling across the continent in the blink of an eye, three times, she finds Sari…but the worst is yet to come.
Opinion: Holy crap! Amazing sequel to an amazing first book. So many twists and turns you don’t see coming. If you think you have everything figured out, read the next page and you are blown away again. So many things packed into one 200 page book is incredible, but everything fits without feeling overly crowded. I can’t wait for the third installment!!!

���Hello everybody, excited to be here.���
���We���ve got an incredible competition ahead of us today, with the Olympic gold medal on the line. Stakes are high and passions are higher, so let���s jump right in���pun intended. Jim?���
���Thanks, Steve. As all of you horse-heads know, we���ve got one of the most competitive line-ups scheduled this afternoon. Steve Guerdat, who of course won the 2012 Olympic gold in London, will be representing the Swiss, followed by last year���s silver medalist Greco Schroder, from the Netherlands. It goes without saying that we also have world-favorite, and teen heartthrob, Clan O���Conner of Ireland coming up in a few minutes��� time.
���That���s right, Jim, the teens go crazy for him. I���m not sure if it���s his hair���

Dearest friends, fans, FAMILY!
Please reblog, share, tweet, FB, you name it!
Over the years it has been my freehand spray paint artwork that many of you are accustomed to seeing. ��There will be more but for now, there is this. ��My wife and I are working hard on keeping you up to date. ��We are blown away by the more than 60K followers who show there support to us daily on the blog and other social media platforms!
So, here is a scan of my brain and the Tumor is circled. Its bigger than first thought. ��On the 9th I have one more MRI w/ spectroscopy to determine the rate of growth and cell types. ��Then it gets really hairy.
I am doing the best I can to be in good spirits and will continue to strive! It really helps knowing I��have touched so many people with my��artwork���

Introducing…Zoe Ambler
Originally posted on Wasted Days And Wasted Nights:
A couple of months ago I met a blogger named Zoe Ambler. She has a new book out that she has published on her own. Independent writers have a tough job. They must do their own marketing and publicity and unless you have a huge online presence and following, that���s a pretty tough job! It occured to me that I could help a tiny bit by introducing her to my readers here on this blog. It is my hope that YOU will share a link to this blog post with your friends and readers, as well as on Twitter if you have a Twitter account. Each one of us can help. I hope you will help Zoe by reading about her and pointing others here to read about her.
Zoe Ambler is from Enterprise, Alabama. She���s 44 years old and broke through into writing by way of role-play gaming, which���

What Makes a Good Ebook?

What Makes a Good Ebook?
Ask anyone that question, and they���ll probably give you an answer based on��plot, characters, flow, grammar, or presentation. Each reader will expect to read, in their view, a perfect ebook, and this is where the problem of defining whether it���s good or not, lies. The book loving population��is huge. Each��reader is different from another, all of them unique, and everyone with their own distinct view of what makes a good book. I believe, the perceived quality of a book depends just as much on the perceptions of the reader as on the prowess of the author.
The Perceptions of the Reader
There are many things readers like or dislike about ebooks, and these tastes are also transient. What someone likes in one book, they may hate in another. What they��abhorred last year they may love now. Tastes are so varied they are impossible to pin���

Groundhog Day!
Yay, today is the day to watch one of my favorite movies! It would suck to live the same day over and over and over again, but Bill Murray makes it fun. If you haven’t seen the movie you need to see it! Bill plays a TV journalist who has been selected by his station to cover Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction. Of course Bill is a bit of a jerk and not happy about covering an over-commercialized holiday, and ends up in a loop repeating GHD over and over until he gets it right. 
Groundhog Day actually comes from Candlemas Day, where the Catholics bless their candles and farmers begin to worry about making it through winter. There were old wives sayings that if it is a nice sunny day on February 2nd, then there is still more winter to come. However, if it is dark and dreary, spring is around the corner. Sounds a bit backwards to me, but then again people are looking to a groundhog to predict the weather.

You threw me to the wolves

You threw me to the wolves
One by one
I kicked, screamed and fought
Them off.
Each and every challenge
When a wolf knocked me down
I stood before it as I shock
Slowly inching forward
I toke out that beast
It toke all my strength
Two years to recover
Now its your turn to be thrown to the wolves.
To prove to your self you can face and win against
The growling gleam
I can not step in
Its your battle to fight
When you recover I���ll be there to kiss the scars scattering you
Then you will see what I do
One whom can stand up and fight for the truth
The right from wrong
Someone who sees he is worthy and ever so deserving
Its now up to you as I sit
Pain knowing your hurting
As I watch on you look back and know I���m right���
