Mirror, Mirror By Michelle Chloe
Review by Kevin Ferrall
After reading Mirror, Mirror by Chloe Michelle, my overall opinion: Very nice. It was a well thought out, researched, and engaging novel.
I’ll admit I was a tad doubtful as an American, which sounds horrible I know, having an American author write about a Japanese time period. Sorry, but from past experiences, Americans mess up horribly at depicting Japanese history, and I have more Asian pride than I should. I was fond of this novel and found it to be very adult, but tasteful. Luckily, it isn’t adult in the usual … Read More »

On Friday, I leave for my trip home to the US. Do I have my suitcase packed? No way. Right now, I’ve got a novella to slip in under the Wednesday deadline (synopsis and query still left to write). I have an article on Okinawa happenings in Tokyo that is due this week and have at least one more interview for that. Oh, and in one of my manic moments I agreed to translate from Japanese to English a book on designing and making ball joint dolls. Only sixty-some-odd pages to go.
So, yes, I have lots of balls in … Read More »

| Thirteen Ways I Would Spend Three Hours
My best gal pal had these pretty nails done before she left to visit her family in the US. It took three hours to get these flowers designed on each nail. They’re stunning and make you look twice at the workmanship.
But would I spend three hours doing this? No way. I’m into comfort. Not beauty. LOL!
My oldest son could easily spend three hours playing a video game. I would fry brain circuits after fifteen minutes. My middle son would happily spend three hours outside playing. I like the outdoors, but not | … Read More »

Blog Swap with Gabriella Hewitt
Just want to thank Gabriella for Blog Swapping with me today. If you want to know where she is, Gabriella is over at The Torn Bodice chatting away.

“Nancy writes dirty books.”
Not only our table, but the table behind us fell silent. Silence in the dining room on a cruise ship is an interesting thing. You hear a few bits of silverware, then underneath, the chugging of the engines play in a bass note background noise to the symphony of the passengers buzz. Only the buzz had fled. Only appalled faces remained. I … Read More »

I’ve Blog Swapped with Gabriella today.
Gabriella is TT’ing over at my blog Michelle Cary
Recently, a good friend of mine was diagnosed with cervical cancer. The doctors have told her to make the most of the time she has left (yeah, it’s really that bad). That got me thinking about all the things I want to do in my life, so My Thursday Thirteen is …

Oh erotic romance how I love thee…let me count the ways.
First off, I want to thank Gabriella for letting me hijack…err, swap her blog today. If you want to check out where she is, head over to my blog http://www.christinedabo.com/blog/ and check out her post.
When people meet me in real life (something I like to hide from) there are usually surprised to find out I write erotic romance. “But you seem so nice!”
No, baby. I’m bad…
But I digress. I’ve always enjoyed reading about the passion that a couple goes through as they learn about each other. … Read More »

So I’m sitting here and pouting today. First of all, there’s a wonderful writers’ conference going on in Dallas, TX and I’m not there to party. Oh, unfair life can be!!! Then, to quote today’s headline news, “Scientist Fear Warming is Causing Gray Whales to Lose Weight.” Why not me, Lord? Why not me???
I know, I know… global warming is no joke. But neither are the Christmas pounds that are still sticking around.
Deep breath. Positive thoughts. So on the good side, I’m blog swapping today with Gabriella who is a super nice lady!! And my new book MY … Read More »

Woke up this morning and it was hot and sticky outside, which gave me a naughty little thought. No, not that!
Thought about swapping…alright, get your mind out of the gutter. I meant Blog swapping.
Pretty much, I’m going to have other authors hop on my blog for the day and I’ll be hopping on theirs for the day. We swap blogs.
I promise its not a long term commitment or anything complicated. Just some good ol’e harmless blogging.
So, come by next week and see who I’ve swapped with. … Read More »
