the month of February. They also will compile them into 5
anthologies and Charlain Harris is writing the foreword.All
proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association.
My 28 Days of Heart story is Timeless Voyage, it will be releaed
02/20/10 and here's the blurb.
BLURB:
Off the mist shrouded coast of Ireland, a pagan lady-pirate, Anwen, captures the
enemy, a Roman, Titus Rufius Kaeso. The Celtic warrior woman presses her hard
iron dagger against Kaeso's throat, but her arm does not obey the will to slay
him. From time out of mind, memories of fated lovers, druids, and sacrifice,
stay her hand. Kaeso is also captivated by dreams of the woman he loved in a
previous life, the mirror image of Anwen. But in this lifetime they are foes,
Roman and Celt. Can Anwen and Kaeso steer their timeless voyage to a happy
destiny or will they be robbed of love once more?
QUOTE OF THE MONTH:
"The ability of writers to imagine what is not the self, to familiarize the
strange and mystify the familiar, is the test of their power." Toni Morrison
WORDS OF THE MONTH:
Lake Superior State University released the 35th annual List of Words Banished
from the Queen's English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness

NEW REVIEW:
Queen of Kings: Macha Mong Raud by Cornelia Amiri
Reviewed by Penny Ash at Night Owl Romance Reviews
"I found Queen of Kings well written and very close to the original legend. If you like the ancient Celtic world you'll enjoy this book."

DETOUR SURF THE NET WITH A VIEW:
Here's January's Surf The Net With A View
Cool Cats on Youtube
1. Parrot massages cat's head
This parrot, CoCo is hilarious, you have to wonder, what he is thinking. And the
kitten, Lucky, is so calm. I think CoCo sees Lucky as some type of play thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yukdsl5O7AI&feature=PlayList&p=E5AB1EDCC2A4CFFF&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=11
2. Thriller Cat
This cat performs Michael Jackson's Thriller. This is very entertaining and
it'll have you howling with laughter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tURJ5aQoJ0U
3. How to Give A Cat a Pill
How to give your cat a pill (or not.) You'll need a pill to stop infectious
laugher after watching this video. This reminds me of a friend who recently
said the vet gave her a paper on how to get a urine sample from her cat and then they said or if you still can't do it, you can bring him in and we'll get it.
She told me she threw those instructions straight into the trash, she wasn't
about to try to get a urine sample from a cat.
