Firstly, my dear bloggy friend Alexia Chamberlynn tagged me in a Lucky 7 dealy (so awesome! Thank you!) which required posting 7 lines starting from the 7th line on the 77th page. But I looked . . . It's not a good one to use. It wont make sense and will just be confusing if you haven't been there for the rest. I thought of just faking it and doing something that I like but nope.
Instead I'll just offer it to anyone who wants to give it a try! Looked like fun! I wish I had a good one, but oh well. So if you all wanna check out your own MS and see where your 7th line on the 77th page puts you, go for it! And post the 7 lines if you want!
Secondly, my weekend was bitching and I hope yours was too! I love St. Patties day weekend! And a good friend dropped in from out of town for a short visit, got a couple more hours work put in to my tattoo, got super cute new running shoes and shorts, have a nice roast cooking in the crockpot AS I TYPE(Sunday), annnndddd had a nice day with just the hubs and me. So was very good. Hope you guys did too!!
THIRDLY, this coming weekend is THE HUNGER GAMES!! (just in case you've had your head jammed up . . . somewhere and didn't know. . .) Usually, I would so be there opening night, but I can't this weekend. But it wont be long. . . I'm so stupid excited to see it! The songs they've released from the soundtracks have been incredible so far, and the stills just as great. You guys psyched?
And Lastly, I got SO MUCH done last week on my book. If I am blessed enough to get as much done this week as last week (had an unusual amount of time on my hands), then I will be done with my last edits! I'm going back and forth on asking for beta readers and not. It's all very wishy-washy at this point. Not going to dwell on it now, though. Not there yet. Just excited to be almost done! Where is everyone else?
Happy Monday!

Talking to Some Fiction Folks
So you guys know by now that Guardian is out this week (By Rachel Morgan)! Hurray!!
Colene: So, thank you for being here, Vi, and . . . Rrr-uh Ryn?
Ryn: It’s pronounced Rin.
Colene: Oh, right, Gotcha! Anyway, I’d like to start off by asking about the major rivalry that seems to exist between the two of you. What started it all?
Vi: First year. We were using our guardian weapons for the first time. Ryn told everyone he’d be the first to make his appear, but I totally beat him.
Ryn: I’m pretty sure it was the other way around.
Vi: Not only did I beat him, but I got my weapons to appear at least a whole minute before everyone else.
Ryn: Now that part is definitely not true.
Vi: Are you calling me a liar?
Colene: Ehem. . . So, Ryn, you wouldn’t ever admit that Vi is better than you at something?
Ryn: Why would I admit to something that’s not true?
Colene: Uh, right. So I take it you and Vi have never been friends, then?
Ryn: [Pause] That is a lovely curtain, Colene. Are you responsible for the interior design in this room?
Colene: No. . .not really . . .Vi, same question.
Vi: It is quite an attractive curtain.
Colene: Okaaaay. I guess we’ll move on then. Vi, I know Ryn calls you Pixie Sticks (soo insulting!). Do you have a nickname for him?
Ryn: Oh, man, she sucks at name-calling. You should hear her. It’s embarrassing.
Vi: [Irritated] How about ass-face?
Ryn: [Laughs] See what I mean? You’re gonna have to expand on that one, Pixie Sticks, 'cause it’s a little confusing. I mean, ass? Face? Those are two parts of the body that are kinda far away from—
Vi: It means, Oryn, that when people look at your face, all they see is your ass!
Ryn: [Laughing even more] Aside from the fact that that makes no sense, I can’t imagine anyone would mind. After all, I do have an uncommonly good-looking ass.
Vi: Well, I’d be more than happy to stick something—
Colene: RIGHT! Moving on then. Ryn, I have to ask. Are you actually hiding a secret crush on Vi by being, um, an ass?
Vi: Oh, dear Seelie Queen, please say no.
Ryn: [Ignores Violet] Colene. You strike me as a person of some intelligence. Do I honestly look like someone who would have a crush on that? [Points at Violet]
Vi: ‘That’?
Ryn: [Still ignoring Violet] I mean, sure, some of the guys think she’s hot—
Vi: Okay, I so did not need to know that.
Ryn: —but she’s really not my type of hot.
Colene: And just so we’re all clear, what exactly is your type of hot?
Ryn: Well, blonde, for one thing. And I have to say, Colene, that I find your shade of blonde particularly attractive.
Colene: Ah, holy crap, wow. Is it hot in here to anyone else? You are quite the charmer, aren’t you?
Ryn: I do try.
Vi: [To no one in particular] I think I may throw up.
Ryn: Well, if you’d like to lean that way, I’d appreciate it.
Colene: So I’m guessing you’ve never considered hooking up with Ryn, have you Vi?
Vi: [Stares at Colene]
Colene: Alrighty. I’ll take that as a no. But what do you think would happen if the two of you were put on the same assignment and forced to work together?
Vi: Not happening.
Ryn: Ever.
Vi: Never ever.
Colene: Well, at least you can agree on something! So, before you kill each other or throw up on my stuff, I think we should end this here.
It's been a great pleasure having Ryn and Vi here with us! Hope everyone will be checking out their first appearances in the Creepy Hollow series, Guardian! ( it's out now, dudes!)
Happy Friday! I'm getting more work done on my tattoo today, so I will be getting around the blogs later!

Rachel Morgan Rocks My World
It's March 5th, and that means that Guardian (1st in the Creepy Hollow series) is out! Doesn't the name alone make you curious? It strikes all the right buttons with me anyway.
It's by the magnificent Rachel Morgan! If you don't know her, what's the matter with you? She is awesome fun. Great gal and doing a very challenging thing, bringing her baby novellas into the world sans agent. I can't imagine the task that would be to set everything up on your own besides the anticipation for your book to come into the world! But she's done fantastic!! So great job to her! And good luck, though I have to say, Guardian is so fantastic, I doubt she needs the luck!
Rachel's going on blog tour this week so be sure and keep your eyes peeled for her. Lets show how supportive this community can be for our fellow writer(now published author!) Rachel! She'll be back here with me on the 16th for a fun surprise, so check back in then for that!
Today the Creepy Hollow series kicks off with the release of the first story, GUARDIAN!!
GUARDIAN introduces readers to the magical world of Creepy Hollow, a realm where fae creatures — both safe and definitely-not-so-safe — dwell. Things are cool as long the fae stick to their own realm. It's when they find their way into the human world that things start going wrong...
1. Receive assignment.

To find out more about the series, the author, and the characters, check out the blog tour that’s happening over the next two weeks.
(funny thing, I ADORE The Rachel Morgan Hollows series by the author Kim Harrison, and now there is the author Rachel Morgan who writes Creepy Hollows! Too cute. And not at all intentional! Every time I get an email from her my brain takes a fraction of a second to NOT think a fictional character is emailing me. =P)
Happy Monday All! And Happy Birthday to Guardian!!

1. Receive assignment.2. Save a life.
3. Sleep.
4. Repeat.
Protecting humans from dangerous magical creatures is all in a day’s work for a faerie training to be a guardian. Seventeen-year-old Violet Fairdale knows this better than anyone—she’s about to become the best guardian the Guild has seen in years. That is, until one of her assignments—a human boy who shouldn’t even be able to see her—follows her into the fae realm. Now she’s broken Guild Law, a crime that could lead to her expulsion.
The last thing Vi wants to do is spend any more time with the boy who got her into this mess, but the Guild requires that she return Nate to his home and make him forget everything he’s discovered of the fae realm. Easy, right? But Nate and Vi are about to land themselves in even bigger trouble—and it’ll take all Vi’s training to get them out alive.
