Good reading...

There were some great posts over at DearAuthor this week including a bitchslap by Jane (Note to the internet - don't threaten a lawyer with 'libel' unless you are another lawyer and you know what that means).

Here's a totally awesome guest review by Kelly on Dear Author. (Warning: Don't eat/drink while reading this review. Trust me, your monitor will thank you.)

- Since that review was so full of awesomesauce, it made me think fondly of ...

Hunky Hero Giveaway Hop…

What makes a hunky hero?

Looks? Charisma? Intelligence?

All of the above?

Or something else that can't be identified other than...

"I know it when I see it" ?

I have to admit, when writing, it definitely helps to give my characters an avatar. Not only does that help visualize them, but also helps in the overall characterization. Once of my favorite avatars is David Gandy. Pretty easy to see why. :) In fact, he's the hunky hero in my story loosely based on Red Riding Hood.
 (Hint: he's not the hunter LOL)

But are looks the definitive answer to what makes a hunky hero? Absolutely not! Hunky heroes can come in all shape(shifters?) and sizes. Share some of your favorite hunky heroes.

The Guild...& Wil Wheaton's Large Sword

I don't know why it took me so long, but I finally got around to watching The Guild. (Hilarious!!!) If you haven't checked this quirky, web comedy series GO DO IT NOW!!! Even DH (darling husband) got in to it, especially with the guest shots of Wil Wheaton. (You're wondering about the sword bit aren't you?)

That's the always lovely, Felicia Day and yes, he's wearing a kilt (and carrying a might sword).

Murder. Magic. Mayhem…and a glowing doe.

Rob Sanders is just a regular guy… and a true believer. Ouija, cards, dice, bones, tea leaves and more. His world is full of wondrous mystery that cannot be easily explained with mere science. When a heinous murder shocks his sleepy little town and science fails to find the answers, he takes it upon himself to use all of his otherworldly know how to find the killer. But an adorable witch-in-training and a glowing doe are about to turn his life upside down and put all that he believes to the test.

A quirky short-story about magic, romance and learning that believing is more than just seeing.

Not my most favorite day of the year....

I confess. I'm one of 'those' people. I don't like April Fool's because for the most part I think it's taking the mick out of someone (gotta love Urban Dic) in usually some mean spirited ways. (Man those childhood traumas carry weight!) But I do love it when there are good April Fool's pranks and Google and Sony did some good ones.

 Tap it everywhere!

Morse is back, baby!

 It's freaking adorable!
