Reflecting on Mothers

Posted on April 23 2015 by Linda

I thought I’d step outside of the typical blog topics found here, and share a few of my thoughts on the subject of mothers. As you are most likely aware, Mother’s Day is just around the corner and as such, my thoughts have been on my own mother. The typical thoughts I usually have is what to buy her to express my love. Flowers? Candy? Gift Card to her favorite restaurant? Jewelry? How funny it is to me to think that those material, short lived gifts are gifted as a representation of my love and appreciation! I adore my mother, …

Double Feature Movie Review: Cinderella & Insurgent

Posted on April 22 2015 by Colleen Houck

Cinderella Colleen’s Movie Review I always give spoilers so consider yourself warned. =) Romance: So…I loved Prince Charming and the way the two of them met and the fact that he saw her and not the pretty dress when she came into the ball. I liked that they had this little bonding moment on the swing, but other than that, the depth of their romance was pretty much the same as the original cartoon. They see each other, they dance, they chat briefly, and that’s it. Special Effects: I loved the CGI mice and the lizards and the goose. Pretty …

Posted on April 14 2015 by Shara Lane

There are times when I’m so tired at night that cleaning my face seems is the last thing I want to do. However I know to never go to sleep with my make up on. Months ago after a long fun day at the New Orleans Romantic Times book convention Colleen pulled out some eye makeup wipes and handed one to me. Simple Eye Make-Up Remover Towelettes The little soft disc was a small piece of heaven. It removed all my eye make up! (It took two for Colleen, but that’s because she had glittery eye liner on) What a …

Dance Scene

Posted on April 13 2015 by Colleen Houck

Hello! In case you missed the Spring YA Scavenger Hunt, I wanted to make the sneak peek of Reawakened available to all my fans. In this scene, Lily and Amon take a break from hunting for clues when they come upon a dance club in Cairo. Enjoy! Soon we came upon a building that had been made over into a club. Techno music blasted and beautiful young people lined up, waiting their turn to get in. “What is this?” Amon asked. “It looks like a club. A place where people dance and celebrate,” I added. “My people dance?” “Well, yes. …
