I love Charities as much as anyone. In fact this year I am teaming up with several local Indie Authors on Facebook to support two AMAZING charities and hope that you will come and bid, or even just donate to these two charities. We are Supporting St. Jude’s Miracle Network and Kid’s Need to Read. Want more information? Click on the Facebook link below. We have books, Marvel merchandise, posters, jewelry. Autographed books, pillows… All sorts of goodies up for grabs. And all of the proceeds go to charity. Its our First Annual Event!
Do you remember?
How many of you are old enough to remember the “Be Kind, Please Rewind” campaigns of the 80s and 90s? I am. I remember having a separate VHS rewinder, so we didn’t have to wait to put the next tape in. If you don’t remember VHS, then you are either A) to young to be on my blog, B) sheltered to shit, or C) Barely Legal. But, now that we seem to be getting the point across, you never, and I mean never, returned the VHS to the rental store without rewinding the fucker. So why would you buy an e-book from an Indie author, or borrow it on Kindle Unlimited, and not review it? Not only does that hurt us — because others don’t know what you think — but also because we don’t know what you though. Did you love it? Did you hate it? Did you find so many errors that you will never read us again? We want nee, we need to know what you are thinking of our writing and what you read. It’s like oxygen to us. Food. Water… Wine in some cases. You get the gist. We need to know what you, our readers think. Do you want more of a particular character? Was there too much fighting? Blood? Gore? Not enough? Tell us. We write not just for our enjoyment, but for yours.

When you don’t watch Football…
on Sunday, what do you do? For me? I either write or read. But today? We cleaned house. Why? Why didn’t I watch football? Because the Packers play Monday Night Football, and the Cowboys won on Thanksgiving (10-1) LET’S GO BOYS! And that’s coming from Packers Nation. So, I of course had nothing better to do. I am reading this AMAZING Arc right now, that I will tell you all about later, and another book I edited just hit shelves. Y’all have GOT to read it. It is stinking hilarious. That will be getting its own review later too, BUT you need to get it RIGHT NOW while its free!!!! Souls to the Polls which you need to pick up and read and leave a review. And then tell your friends to read it too. Because it’s Amazeballs.
Until I have time to post a real review for it.

Happy Thanksgiving! While not all of you may even be in the United States, I am sure that all of you can find something to be thankful for today. Friends? Family? Food? Maybe you finally have a lead on a good job? What are you thankful for? For me this year its my family, that my husband got his back pay for disability this year, and that my youngest is recovering from his surgery so well.
Today’s Menu is:
- Crown Apple whiskey, wild flower honey and butter turkey
- Brown sugar, pineapple, maraschino cherry, and Crown Apple Whiskey Ham
- Butternut Squash
- Sweet Potatoes
- Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
- Stuffing
- Rolls
- Apple Pie
- Pumpkin Pie
What did y’all have for Thanksgiving dinner?
Writing Music
So, I like knowing what people listen to when they write, or edit their works. Me personally? I listen to everything. I prefer metal. Five FInger Death Punch, Shinedown. Sixx AM, Metallica, Alice Cooper. I have all of them on Pandora and that is what I listen to. Having that chaos blaring in my head while I write just brings me a special kind of solace in my head that I can’t get elsewhere. And my characters don’t mind it either. They are often rocking out to it and singing along with me.
Sometimes though, if I am in the mood for something softer, I’ll put on country, or maybe even Adele. It all depends on my mood, my characters moods, and the mood of the story I am writing at the time. But I won’t listen to Christmas music, while writing Holiday stories. I know, I know. It doesn’t make sense. To you. But it does to me. :)
Happy listening. And reading.
Electorial thoughts, Rant, biddings
Okay, So here’s my thoughts on todays issues. Trump was elected. I do not like it. It scares the shit out of me. No, not because I am a ‘freeloader” or whatever you want to say on that matter. It scares me because of the fact that everyone thinks its okay to be racist. That people think its okay to hate.
It scares me that all the progress we have made, not just under Obama, but both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Ford, and Nixon will be reversed. Martin Luther King Jr will have died in vain with this election and the regressive thought path of a major part of America.
I love my country. But this is another instant where This is my Country, but He is NOT my President. And though that is the case I want you to take a second and think about what I am saying too. I am not going to unfriend you because you voted for Trump. I pity you, I hate that you helped pick this path of hatred we going down, but I will light a candle on my alter and pray for peace in your soul.
You are my friends and my family. I feel sick right now that our future is so uncertain and that we don’t know what is going on anymore. But I still love all of you. Now please no fighting on this post. Thats not what I am posting this about.
I do not approve of what the #Notmypresident movement is doing, BUT I please ask that you understand that not all of us are that disrespectful or assholish. Same as not all #BlacklivesMatters Supporters are that assholish or stupid. I support BLM, but I support the ones that are doing it right. The ones that are being peaceful about it.
I support the movements are aren’t causing riots, aren’t causing gun fights, and aren’t causing people to flee in terror of what will happen to them.
To all my Trump supporters, I beg of you, Please be the humans I know you are and when you see your fellow Trump supporters being asshats and terrorizing their fellow human being, Knock them senseless like ANY good human, Trump, Hillary, Bernie, Jill or Gary supporter would.
And to My Hillary supporters, I know that this is one helluva blow, we have four years to get back n our feet, figure out a way to get he electoral college to figure their shit out, or get out, and to find someone who can beat the rabid Tangerine as I have heard him called.
Now, I agree with one thing. I will give him ONE chance. ONE chance to not fuck up. That is the best I can give you.
