DAWN Approaches

The sequel to Tim Lebbon's very successful dark-fantasy novel Dusk is coming soon.
DAWN picks up where Dusk left off, and based on the two extracts up at the Noreela website the story hasn't lost an iota of its intensity or power to dazzle with its vivid world building. It's going to be a wild ride to an amazing conclusion, trust me. If you haven't read Dusk, do it now and be prepared to greet the Dawn.

I Like Purple and Pink

I really didn't like having 13 posts on my blog. More photography. My collection of potted flowers is growing but I was in a purple mood so that's what you get. One day I may be compelled to actually venture off my balcony to take pictures.

The Amazing Race All-Stars began tonight; I'm declaring myself neutral on the issue of Rob & Amber. I'm sure many are hoping for them to be gone quick but I say every game is a new, equal start for all the teams. If they can hang on and win good for them. My heart is with Dave & Mary, though. I'd be very happy to see them go a long way... all the way would be perfect.

Win Teeth

Scott Nicholson is giving away three of his permanent teeth in a contest to promote his novel "They Hunger."

I wouldn't make this up.

Happy Valentine's Day

A bit of floral cheer from a budding photographer. My husband bought me a pot of crocuses a week or so ago...I've been testing my photography skill on them.

Waiting for Leaves

A collage of pictures of the tree top outside my second floor balcony, taken on Monday February 12 and Tuesday February 13. The tree is much like me these days, somber and pensive, full of potential, waiting for the warmth and sunshine of Spring to help it achieve it's full glorious potential.

I'm not any good at Winter. It dulls my mind and my motivation. I'm thinking that watching and documenting the tree reawaken will spark my soul into reawakening too. Look for me to post tree pictures once a week and report on my mood as the Spring approaches.
