Almost A New Year!

So, congratulations to the winner of the Christmas Giveaway, Sabrina Rutter. I swear I will send the books out as soon as I can make it through the snow to the post office :)

Aside from that, I've been working hard on some very fun fun things for the new year. At last I'm starting my first Children's/Young Adult book that fits into the Harry Potter/Percy Jackson genre. So far the outline is nearing 10 pages, with many more to go.

It will be named the Jack Scar Series.

This spring I will be releasing my two children's books, one aimed for boys and one for girls. They are Grumpy Lumpy, and Dream Dance Prance (though that is just the working title)...

And then of course I will be releasing the third book in the Knight Angels Series this fall (Hopefully September!) I haven't decided on a cover yet, but I will :)

And THEN! I have another book coming out this spring called Ladybird, Ladybird, and I promise you it is and will be the sweetest, most mysterious paranormal love story you will read this year. It's a short read, more of a novella...

Busy, BUSY!!!!

I Never Knew Cooking Seafood Could Be So Dangerous...

So, here I am, all excited to simmer my beautiful two pounds of fresh mussels in a delightful white wine sauce. I was ecstatic, following the recipe to a "T" because I knew just how good these puppies could be. So I begin...

Simmer...

Simmer Simmer...

Simmer down now!....

Hmmm... Lets check them! BAM!!!!!

...

Um...

eeerrrrrr............. ummmmmm....... ooooooohhhhh-KAY!

My husband nearly fell off his chair, and upon looking at me, his eyes got wide. "Babe... your bangs..."


Hand to head, crispy southern bangs... then I smelled burnt hair... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

I guess I didn't expect the explosion. I had tipped the lid and the alcohol that had condensed on it must have dripped into the gas flame. This had never happened to me before. I have a Christmas party to go to, and I have curly, smokey, crispy fried bangs.

CRISPY FRIED!!!!

But...

The mussels turned out good :)

I've Been Considering Things That Start With The Letter 'I'...

Like ICE, and INSTRUMENTS...

 We got record snowfall this November. Already amounts of up to two feet. I love the snow, don't get me wrong, but after a while, shoveling loses it's sparkly glittery glow (if it ever had one).

 Seriously, church parking lot, shovel the stairs. I see this and I think of all the little church-going old ladies. Not Cool.

Then lastly, I pulled this out the other day. I haven't played the guitar in ten years, and I'm a bit rusty, but I forgot how good it was for thinking. I learned a Taylor Swift song, cause I'm super cool like that...

Lol.

Even though I had to use a sandwich bag clip 'cause I couldn't find a pick...
