Q&A: Shadow Fire by Courtney Rene

Image
Super excited to have Courtney here to celebrate her latest release, Shadow Fire , book four of her Shadow Dancer series. I was lucky enough to read this book before it was released and it doesn't disappoint. Q&A with Courtney on Shadow Fire : What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? I was feeling bad about the life that Leif was living. Yes, I know he is fictitious, but since I had created him and the story of his life, I felt he deserved a better ending. Something more than sadness and self-destruction. So, I gave him one. What was your favorite part of writing this book? I liked writing the past sections. It was run to wind all the characters together and show how they morphed into the people they grew to be. I had no idea it would be so much fun. What movie or television show would you say is most like your book in tone, topic, and/or characters? I got nothing here. I can’t think of any book or who that is like mine. It’s one of th

You might notice the assortment of G and PG movies this week. Had a sick kiddo at home. Pretty funny. Love the fish out of water story. What's not to like about TLBT? They are just so cute. You have to a real hardnose not to cry during this movie. I always cry every single time. What's not to like about the Toy Story Saga. I just love Violet. What a great heroine. Has its funny moments. But yet another racing cartoon movie. A crush worthy cartoon character. Sigh. There's something inherently wrong when animators make crush worthy heroes. They are CARTOONS! One of the best monster movies ever. The chemistry between Kevin and Fred is priceless and hysterical. Love. Dialogue is the best. Benedict as Kahn is perfect. Depp's Sparrow is one of the best characters in cinema history It was okay. Got a little long with the close-ups on Redford Great Disney movie.

Bizarre is the best description I can come up with. It really is a Musical and Slasher movie. Dated with the female stuff. But still cute and good family entertainment. Though I admit to wondering about the happiness of the animals on the ship - they don't look to happy in several of the scenes.

Q&A and #Giveaway: Into the Fire by Ashelyn Drake

Image
Title: Into the Fire Publication date: September 9, 2014 Publisher: Month9Books, LLC. Author: Ashelyn Drake Q&A with Ashelyn Drake What was the spark or initial idea that started your book? As a kid I loved watching reruns of the original Dark Shadows TV series. Well, one day my brain was doing its usual wandering and I remembered a character on that show who was a phoenix. Every so many years she burned in a fire and was reborn. As soon as I remembered that episode, I knew I wanted to write about phoenixes. What was your favorite part of writing this book? It’s such a balance of fantasy and romance. Since I write both, it was the best of both worlds for me. I could combine my two favorite genres and tell a story that really appeals to two different audiences. What is your favorite line from your book? I really love the opening lines: In one month, I’m going to die and be reborn from my own ashes. I’ll forget everything and nearly everyone I know. But I

#Giveaway and Blast: The Sending by Jandy Salguero

Image
  The Sending A city's peace is shattered when two university students go missing, and only Daneel and his friends know the shocking truth of what happened. Finding themselves under attack, Daneel leads them in a race to escape the mounting violence. Mara is willing to kill for the beliefs of the faction that raised her. But as she seeks out her mark, using a rare, mystical form of travel known as the Sending, Mara discovers a powerful connection that challenges the truth of everything she’s been taught. While Daneel fights to protect those he cares for, Mara must choose whether to cling to the ideology of her home—or open her scarred heart to a searing attraction and the promise of a new life. Praise for The Sending The Sending reads like a dystopian Romeo and Juliet where strong, full characters from very different places inevitably collide with passion and conflict. Salguero fills a fresh, vibrant world with a nerve-tingling fast plot. Prepare to be immersed. ~

Movie Monday Recap

Image
One of my favorite movies. Best action/adventure romance that I've ever seen. Plus, it's funny. I decided I had to go see it since I remember seeing the original movie in the theater. It was okay, lots of CGI action sequences, but the best part was Megan Fox and her character. Nothing like the girl taking out the big baddie at the end instead of the "heroes." Love that.
