I’m back! Truly back and in full swing. Let’s get this immortal party started! Immortality. What could be more fitting for Immortal Monday than gods and the creation of them? Today we’re lucky enough to have the fabulous author Krystal Wade here with her young adult fantasy, Wilde’s Fire (Darkness Falls Trilogy), where she’s created…
The word is often used in salutations in Hawaii, as in “hello” or “goodbye.” But the word Aloha actually means affection, peace, compassion and mercy. It really is a beautiful word if you stop and think about it. It has become the state’s nickname, the Aloha state. I’m unplugged this week. The family and I are…
On October 27th I had the opportunity to attend my first Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators’ event – Writers’ Day. I stepped out with apprehension. Not because I was afraid I wouldn’t enjoy the day. I was sure I would. But because I would be with a large group of people I’d never met before.…
The countdown is on. Only four short days until crowds everywhere storm the theaters for the much anticipated final installment in the Twilight series: Breaking Dawn. Will you be there? I will – NOT. Yep. I bought my ticket excited at the prospect of a girl’s night out, the kids safely at home. A day…
This blog likes to travel! Unfortunately, I’m not the one who gets to enjoy all the fabulous sites and hospitality. Thor is taking the world by storm (pun intended). Can you tell me what Tinker Bell, hockey and snow have in common with Thor? Head on over to Louise Behiel’s blog to find out. Thor…
Welcome to a second edition of Friday Fictioneers. I am now two for two. Woot woot! This one is also coming in at an even 100 word count – yay! If you’re unfamiliar with Friday Fictioneers, it’s when writers take on the challenge of writing a 100 word story, poem, haiku, based on a photo…
My beautiful friend Sheri Fink has tagged me in The Next Big Thing. Some of you have heard of this little game. Some of you know I’ve played along before. But this time is different and it might surprise you. I’m a tad late getting this out. Everyone else was nicely organized and posted together on November…
In the wake of Sandy, Immortal Monday is stepping back and taking a look at the legendary city of Atlantis, believed to be destroyed by nature’s fury. Historians and adventurers have searched for her for so long that many have thought the city to be nothing more than a myth. So famous is the legend…
I’ve decided to jump on the Flash fiction band wagon thanks to Ted Strutz‘s urging. *Waves to Ted* Writing something in only 100 words is new to me, but I’m willing to take on the challenge. Today’s prompt is also provided by Ted – yay Ted! Your comments and critiques are welcome, and feel free to…
Where has everyone gone? Oh, wait. I’m the one who went missing!! MIA-me and Thor. Where have we been? You’re not thinking we ran off together, or are you? Nooo. That’s just silly. If you’ve been following this blog, then you know Thor is somewhere in Canada and I am not. Maybe I’m hanging out with Chris…
Last week we discussed Daphne on Immortal Monday, in direct relation to Apollo, whom we discussed a few weeks prior, and the tragedy that played out between them. Today it seemed only fitting that we visit the mastermind behind the madness, Eros. If you missed the previous posts or need a refresher on the Apollo…
Have you all been wondering where Thor is and what he’s been up to? I know I get anxious at the in-between times. Maybe you do to. For those of you just stopping in for the first time, this question might seem a little off the wall. But we have been tracking our favorite Norse…
