Unicorn Keep One Year Anniversary

Image
Unicorn Keep is having its one year anniversary this month. Wow! My unicorn story has been out for one year. Hard to believe. Seems like it was only a couple of months ago I sat down determined to write a story featuring unicorns, but having no idea what the story would be. Thankfully, Jiline and Herrick stepped forward almost immediately to start telling me their stories. To celebrate the one year anniversary I have temporarily lowered the cost of Unicorn Keep to $.99 for the ebook. Hurry over and grab your copy from your favorite ebook retailer before the price goes back to normal. Jiline of Ainsley is dismayed when her best friend is selected by the mages to become a unicorn keeper at the Keep, an isolated mountain fortress. Especially since Madelen is in love and engaged to the richest boy in the village. Jiline on the other hand has no prospects of marriage or a trade in their small village. So, she comes up with a plan to take Madelen’s place at the Keep and hopefu...

Fairy Tale Fortnight

Image
I adore fairy tale retellings in film. There is something about the creative process the writers, producers, director, and actors go through to bring about a new version of the fairy tale. Doesn't matter if it is a completely modern retake or something in the time period of fairy tales. Children/Family or Adult. Love them all. The funnest part of retellings for me is seeing what they kept the same and what they twisted around to fit the "new" story.     Ever After: A Cinderella Story and Tangled are pretty close to the original stories. Taking as much as they can from the fairy tales and also taking place during the medieval times the fairy tales come from. Enchanted and Penelope are fun modern retellings of fairy tales. Penelope is probably closest to Beauty and the Beast , but also takes from other fairy tales. Enchanted includes most of the tropes of the "princess" fairy tales and puts its own unique twist for a completely new story. ...

Chronicles of Prince Charming

Image
I know it's been a while since I've done a post on Prince and there's a very good reason for that. I don't have a lot to report except that I hurt my back and neck in January and reinjured them shortly after they healed in February. I've been pretty much land locked since then. As so many of us athletes do (you know who you are) I tried to ignore the injury, doing everything I would normally do, living with the pain and when it would get too intense take some advil. That went on for a couple of weeks until my body had enough and I had to ground myself since I could barely function. Went to a massage therapist and chiropractor who helped a lot and got me back on the right track. But it took a lot longer than I guessed for my back and neck to recover. I've ridden a few times, short test rides, to see if my body is ready. And so far, no. But Prince remains in half-training at his stable so he is still getting ridden a couple of times a week by the trainer. ...

Power to the Fans - The Veronica Mars Movie Project

I was cruising Facebook yesterday evening and came across something very interesting. A post for FANS to help fund a Veronica Mars Movie. My first thought was scam and why would someone target the fans of VM? But then I looked around and found out this was actually Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell asking the fans to make a Veronica Mars movie happen. They had pitched the idea to Warner Bros. who had agreed to let them make a movie if they met a minimum donation amount - $2,000,000. The Veronica Mars Movie Project at Kickstarter was born. As of this minute (9:55 AM PST, 3/14/2013) they have raised $2,695,311 from 44,523 backers (fans). They hit their goal of $2,000,000 in less than 11 hours after going live. Rob wasn't even sure they would hit the $2,000,000 within the 30 days of the drive. If you're a Veronica Mars fan, be sure to watch the pitch video that many of the cast members and Rob made.   I find this entire thing fascinating. Imagine the possibilities of fans f...
