Hercules is due to hit theaters later this month. Will you be in attendance? He is our focus for this month’s Immortal Monday. The famous Greek demi-god, Heracles, son of the god, Zeus, and the mortal woman, Alcmene, is most commonly known as Hercules. The name Hercules was adapted by the Romans and used across…
Let’s wander down the dusty path of yesteryear’s adventures to the Madewood Plantation. Oh…wait. I’m not telling this right. *You’re not going to believe this, but…two perfectly fun and slightly insane writers set off across the country to spend the night in a three hundred year-old haunted plantation house just to be able to say…
The ability to shift your appearance at will, look like anything or anyone you want: would you desire such a skill? Raise your hands if you saw X-Men: Days of Future Past in the past two weeks? Those of you familiar with the many mutant powers, who would like to have Mystiques’ special talent? If…
Authors want to make their stories, not only engaging but, authentic and true to the setting and characters. Experts say to write what you know―always good advice. Characters sometimes have other ideas. Sometimes they have a strong opinion about where their story should take place. And sometimes you, as the author, are less than familiar…
I am on an amazing research trip this week that has me away from the homestead and blog. I’ve stepped out to soak up the setting for my YA novel Nowhere Nara in the Baton Rouge region. But hey, I’m checking in and sharing a bit of the fun with you! I’m now in New…
Good Morning blessed Immortal fans. I had an exciting post about my upcoming novella, The Moorigad Dragon, planned for today. The best of plans don’t always come to fruition, thus the post had to be put on hold. It’s only temporarily―I promise. The snafu should be fixed and the post ready shortly after I return…
Welcome back Immortal Monday! Pull out the party horns, party poppers, and paper hats. Woot woot! Today we’re looking at a place rather than a person or a demon or a god. We’re asking what makes a place ideal for the ill set stage of a ghost story. What makes a location immortal? Is it…
Hello, my name is Debra and I am socially challenged. *So much so it falls into the realm of handicapped. I don’t require a prescription or an over-the-counter drug or therapy. (Maybe) I am an introvert. Such an extreme introvert the sight of conversations in my twitter feed makes my heart begin to palpitate double-time.…
Did you know April is National Poetry month? You may have heard the rumors. The celebration of lyrical words was established by the Academy of American Poets in 1996 to heighten the public’s awareness of the fine art. This tidbit of knowledge probably already has you feeling a smidgen taller. Poetry was never my strong…
This blog has been MIA so long I wouldn’t blame you if you’d lumped it in with the many attempted and failed on-line journals. The countless blogs started and stopped, left abandoned and forgotten. Image via Craig Garner at Unsplash.com So many gone, defunct, and perished. Well…this little bit of cyber real estate is far…
Rolling into 2014 not with a roar, but with a constant cough has helped put my life and priorities into perspective. But the cough alone wasn’t strong enough to help me see through the layers of confusion I’d built up around me. No, it took something much more serious. A full month of illness, an…
Ever feel like you simply can’t find a spare moment? That’s been me since the week began. With each passing year the schedule seems to get more and more insane. Life is all hustle and bustle now days. A week and a half ago I’d just come off a family vacation that hadn’t allowed for…
