This Is One Amazing Mum!!!

 I recently saw this elsewhere and I thought I would share it with you, seeing as it seems to be the biggest topic to date in our writing/reading community... This mum is just the greatest in my eyes. So please take the time to read it and really listen to what is being said and how she describes just how her son feels. I just wish more people in the world saw things like this.  http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/11/17/sl-letter-of-the-day-my-sons-missing-out#more

NaNoWriMo Snippet!!!

This is still a work in progress so forgive all typo's and crappy punctuation... This is a little snippet from chapter two... this story is for Nano is called Watson Falls 1: Between One Heartbeat & The Next... it will be a spin-off from my Pack Matters series.

SNIPPET

“Amara! Enough!” Ryan stood up and yelled into the room. “This is neither the time nor the place for this discussion. We will talk about this after our guests leave.”

“You mean the humans?” Amara sneered “It seems your siblings have already claimed two of them… who cares if the rest of that family knows? Everyone else here is pack… My Pack!”

Ryan slowly stalked across the room and snarled right into her face. “My Pack.” Stepping back he undid his shirt and pulled the medallion out of his shirt. “Is this what you were looking for?” Amara lunged for his throat and Liam stepped forward and backhanded her.

Ryan turned to Claire and Erik who were both huddled on the couch stunned. His gaze shifted to Eli, who clung to Zane.

“I already know,” Eli said softly, “Zane told me what he was when we first met. He wanted no secrets between us.”

Ryan nodded, “Do you know that if he completes the mating, claiming you as his fated mate, then it might hasten your road to recovery?”

“He’s not broken,” Zane said defensively.

“No he isn’t, I apologise.” Ryan smiled. “Nor is he completely well, I only say this because even I can feel him growing weaker.” Ryan turned back to Claire and Erik. “I am sorry that you had to find out this way. I would have preferred to tell you in my own way. But as you can see circumstances prevented that from happening… if you choose to stay you are more them welcome, if you choose to leave we will not stop you but know that you are now the keeper of our secrets. Should you betray us, you will be dealt with accordingly. Do I make myself clear?”

“Crystal,” Erik glared at Zane, “how could you not tell me that you are a fucking shifter… with the word pack thrown around I would guess Werewolf? I was your best friend – why didn’t you tell me?”

Zane shrugged, “It is forbidden.”

“But you told Eli?”

Zane nodded and smiled. “I could tell him because he is my mate… now do you see? I never wanted you because my wolf had already decided on Eli, even way back then when I was just discovering myself, my wolf already knew that we belonged to Eli.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Alpha, you’re the new Alpha?” A smile played over Claire Bailey’s face.

Ryan turned and stared at Claire. “You know about the pack?”

Claire nodded, “My father belonged to Ma-Ma Creek Pack.” She quickly added. “I was never able to shift. So far none of my kids have been able to shift either. Adam decided that if I lived within pack grounds I was not to tell my husband who was human or my children about our kind. As he considered me of no worth to the pack.” A tear rolled down her cheek. “Five years ago, he killed my Simon as retribution for what happened between Zane and Eli.”

“Adam killed Simon?” grandma asked horrified.

“No, he had Soren do it.” She looked straight at Amara. “Your father is a murderer.”

“But if Eli is part wolf then how did he succumb to his anorexia?” Grandma was truly baffled.

“Because there shifter gene’s seem to be dormant.”

“But that doesn’t explain why?”

When Claire looked at Grandma Ryan said. “Grandma is our medicine woman she heals us and tends to our needs.”

Ryan cleared his throat and turned back to the group, Amara was standing between Liam O’Donnell and Rhys Foster… they worked for the WFPD (Watson Falls Police Department) and Ryan knew they would become his pack beta’s just by what had transpired here today; even if he didn’t want to spend that much time in close proximity of the reason he was forced to live outside his own pack.

The medallion lay on his chest for all to see. “This was given to me by my father the day you all forced me to leave the pack. He told me that this would be my proof that I am the rightful Alpha of this pack.” Ryan let his power slowly roll over the room at large. This was only a portion of the pack but each and every one of them would tell someone else, who would tell someone else and so forth until the entire pack knew what had transpired here today. He knew that challenges wouldn’t be long in coming but he also knew that he was ready for each and every one of them.

“But what to do about you, Amara?” Ryan turned his whole attention on her. “You have harassed my family - my sister and my brother – your Omega. You were caught stealing from your just deceased Alpha and the Alpha mate. So what do you think should happen to you?” he walked up until they were toe to toe. “Why should I let you live?”

Em's Week Of Music - Tuesday

  The lead singer nearly fell off the stage at soundwave while singing this song, so I thought I would share this with you all. Mum has given me a week on her blog to post music... so you get to put up with my stuff...

This Is The Future - So Get With It!!!

  A friend made this and I think you should all just take the time and really think about what is the right thing to do... Any Aussie politicians that see this I hope to God that you actually ask the general public what they want before you all decide what is best for us as a whole. Because in fact most of us believe in the rights for LGBT people to have the same opportunities as the rest of us... Oh and if anyone is in the Know with the Queen tell her to pull her finger out and do the right thing - Equality for All ... NEWS FLASH!!! God created everyone -  not just the straight people.

Inspiration!!!

  My Christian, and even my Doyle are two characters that just wish that they could dance like this. The closest they come is some form of crazy dancing that becomes the rage in my series The Lines OF Marsden.

  Anyway a friend sent me this so I thought I would share it as It fascinated me to no end. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Rough mock up for my cover in TLOM!!!

 I just wanted to share - this is a rough mock up of the cover for the first book in  The Lines Of Marsden series. Doesn't Michael Marsden look beautiful? I truly cannot wait to see the finished product. I am so excited I have been snoopy dancing since this rough arrived... there will be some minor changes between this and the real  cover.

 On another note I signed the contract for my short Christmas story: Angels on Top. with MLRPress. I am not sure how much I am allowed to say about it, but I hope that everyone that reads it will like it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

 I am still working on my NaNoWriMo and it is slow going but I am determined to get my 50K written by the end of the month. I will not let the boys in Watson Falls down.

What's the Hap!!!

 I am working on changing my NaNoWriMo story as it just wasn't working I had to go back and shifter-fy it... I feel more comfortable writing paranormal books... I have kept the same basic story line but now I can sink my teeth (or canines if you will) into it and start writing again.

I have decided that Sentinel Dominic's mate in Sentinels of Varnuse 2: Wind Walkers, will be Nico and he will be a bird shifter... you will still get to hear about Quin & Bray and Vayne & Arron's quest for Simian... I promise not to leave you all hanging. 

When The Walls Come Tumbling Down # 27

Quinlan hated that they had left and hadn’t confronted Tondran for his part in all of this. He had wanted to call all his sentinels in and wipe Tondran and his followers off the face of the world. They didn’t deserve to live after they had done to his husband’s family. Quinlan had finally gotten the Children of Varnuse to agree to make a hit on Tondran and his inner circle. But when they got back to the compound, it had been cleaned out. Not a single living soul was there to be found. The only thing they did find was Ormand’s body with the symbol for revenge carved into his chest. Quinlan shivered and wondered if it was Vayne or Arron that had done it, as both men had disappeared without a trace.

“Do you think that Vayne did this? Or Arron?” Quinlan asked as he tore down the drapes and covered the lifeless body.

Lucas shrugged, “If they did, then I hope they found out what the needed to know about Simian before they killed him.”

“I just hope they find Simian.” Josep added.

Standing Quinlan looked around the trashed room, “Where do you think Tondran has gone?”

“We stole back the old ones. I would best guess that Tondran wants Brayden back and will do anything to get him – Tondran doesn’t like to lose.” Lucas ran a hand through his hair and walked over to lean against Josep’s side. “I would say he is recruiting more warriors to launch an attack on the High City.”

“Then I say we break camp and head home.” Quinlan thought it was a bit early to be travelling with his new born children, but he also needed to get home so that his other sons were kept safe. Larkin and Killian would be worried that they had been gone so long… and whether they had rescued Brayden or not.

“You seem far away,” Josep laid a gentle hand on Quinlan’s shoulder.

Quinlan smiled sadly, “I am missing my sons, Killian and Larkin. They will have grown so much since I have been gone.”

“How old are they?” Lucas asked.

“Larkin is almost five-years-old and Killian is just about to turn three.”

“And by the look on your face I can tell that you are missing them a great deal.”

“To be honest before Brayden came back to me I didn’t have much interaction with them… well not as much as I would have liked. Since Brayden and I married they have been with us every day,” Quinlan said honestly. “And to answer you, yes I miss them a great deal.”

“Then we should return home to our sons.” They turned at the sound of Brayden’s voice. “I have had enough of this compound to last me several lifetimes.”

“As have I, love.” Quinlan held out his hand and pulled Brayden to his side. “Let’s head home.”

**~*~**

“What the hell are you following me for?” Vayne growled over his shoulder at Arron.

Arron sighed dramatically, “You know why… he belongs to me just as much as he belongs to you.”

Vayne spun around and glared at the younger man. “Stop saying that. Simian is my mate. Mine… given to me by Varnuse.”

Arron chuckled, “I can claim the same damn thing… stop denying what the world knows. We both wear Simian’s mark. He doesn’t belong to us we both belong to him.” Arron pushed up his sleeve and bared his forearm so that the sunlight shimmered across the exact same marking that adorned his own forearm.

“But I don’t have to like it.” Vayne growled.

“No,” Arron sighed again, “You just have to accept it. Just remember it was our constant fighting that allowed him to be kidnapped in the first place. If we had just learned to get on and share his love then he would still be with us.”

“Can you just shut up for five-fricken-minutes? You are more annoying than a Ju-Ju bug in the morning.” Vayne stared at Arron and it struck him that he had never before really looked at Arron, never took the time to notice what he truly looked like. Arron stared back calmly and Vayne could almost feel himself being pulled into those pale green eyes that seemed to see everything, they were so clear that he swore he could see his own reflection. Arron’s skin was pale and flawless and his lips looked soft and plump. Vayne fought not to smile as those perfect lips pouted in his direction. “Okay, now how pissed do you think Josep is going to be at us?”

“It’s not Josep we have to worry about you know that it is Lucas that will kick our arses. That man may look like a pacifist but he is the fiercest one of us all.” Arron shuddered and took a step towards him.

Vayne took a step back, “Lucas will understand he knows what Simian means to me.” when Arron glared at he corrected himself, “I meant to us. Lucas knows what Simian means to us.”

“Yes, it’s best you remember there are three of us in this little love triangle.”

Vayne and Arron froze as they heard someone or something making their way towards them. Vayne reached out and pulled Arron behind him as a sentinel stepped out of the trees and stopped before them.

“Aren’t you a bit lost, brother?” Vayne asked not letting down his guard in case the king had sent men out to bring them in. he was not going to allow that to happen.

“My name is Dominic.” He blushed and Vayne wondered why. A growl erupted from his throat when he felt Arron move behind him.

“If you have come for either Arron or myself, then we are taken. You would be best off going home where you belong.”

Dominic blushed harder. “I never came for either of you. I came because Lucas told me I must, he told me that my destiny lies in wherever you are going.”

Vayne couldn’t stop the grin as Arron strode over and pushed up Dominic’s sleeve and sighed in relief when he found the forearm bare. Nothing marred his skin.

“It’s okay, Arron,” Vayne chuckled, “fate would not give Simian another mate for us to contend with.” Shaking his head he turned in the direction they were going. “I just wished that we had found Ormand before we left… maybe we could have gotten something worthwhile out of him.” Arron bit his lip and Vayne knew he wasn’t going to like whatever it was he was going to hear.

“Yeah, about that… I may have killed Ormand - just a little bit.”

ON ANOTHER NOTE...

This ends the first part of The Sentinels of Varnuse... next blog story will start part two, which will be called : Wind Walkers.

Just Touching Base!!!

  Well I know I have missed another couple of days... but sad to say my brother in-law passed away... I guess he is in a better place where there is no pain. It was sad to see him finally go and my heart goes out to his four children.

  So for the past three days I haven't really written anything but after this Thursday I should be back on track with everything... Though I don't mind telling you all I am worried about my NaNoWriMo novel... I am not sure if it is going in the direction that I want it to. I will stick with it for a bit and see what happens.

  I emailed my editor today to find out what is happening with TLOM. To be honest I am getting fed up with waiting. It's is more frustrating that my editor and I never seem to connect... she is awesome, but if it isn't something going wrong on her end then it is going wrong on mine... Sometimes I think I just can't win... LMAO - Isn't that always the way. Though, as soon as I do hear what is going on I will let you all know.

Saw These Guys In Concert Last Night!!!

  Tim Rogers and You Am I were absolutely awesome even if my hubs and daughter didn't know who they were... We bought some merchandise & the guy behind the counter goes... "You do realise this is just the starter band?" I was like, "Dude I came to see these guys." No one even selling the merchandise knew who the hell You Am I even were. This is one of their most listened to songs it is off their 4th album.

  This is the other band we saw Cold Chisel is one of our legendary rock bands. They are a little older but fricken hell they sound exactly the same Jimmy Barnes & Ian Moss only seem to get better with age. The only downer on the night for me besides having a sore back, is that they never sang "Working Class Man," how could they skip one of their most famous songs?

  But it was still awesome!!!

What's Up!!!

  Well I have missed a couple of days due to I threw my back out and was in too much pain to concentrate... but I am back now.

  Well I joined NaNoWriMo as you all know and I have started on my story... I have titled it Watson Falls 1: Between One Heartbeat & The Next. because once I started writing this I thought NJ there is a series in this idea... so we will just have to see how it all pans out.

  I am off to  the Cold Chisel concert in Brisbane tonight and I just got uber excited when I read that You Am I are their opening act... Two awesome Aussie bands.

  I have decided that the next post of WTWCTD will be the last for that blog story... but don't worry the boys will still be around as I am just moving onto the first branch of the other shifters that I mentioned... I have all those Sentinels to mate off before I can end it completely.

  On that note I am out of here as I have to write my quota for NaNo...
