Grammar Snufus by Karla Stover

Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday

A meme hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine  where bloggers and book lovers share with each other the books they are just dying to read!!

Here's mine!!

Forbidden by Kimberley Griffiths Little
Release date- November 4, 2014
HarperCollins
Goodreads-  FORBIDDEN is a sweepingly epic and sensuous novel, a story of peer pressure and cults set against the ancient art of belly dance, in which 16-year-old Jayden’s faith and character is tested to their limits, even death, as she watches her family and the world around her fall apart. 

Betrothed to the tribal leader's son, Jayden is blackmailed over the murder of their beloved leader when he is found poisoned, all while hiding her forbidden love of Kadesh, a stranger from the secret frankincense lands. 

The Goddess temples of Ashtoreth may be Jayden’s only escape, even though the allure of the sexual rites tempt the women of the desert to turn their back on everything they hold sacred.

Jayden must undertake a deadly journey to save the ones she loves—and find a true love for herself.


Okay, so I've been on a cultural kick lately. Anything but my culture! There is something about the lure of belly dancing....I've wanted to take lessons. Anyone else??? I think it sounds a little strange to say "set against the ancient art of belly dance" but I still can't resist this one. It sounds like tents in the Sahara and "allure of the sexual rites tempt the women of the desert". Wait does anyone know if this is YA??? 

What are you waiting to read??? Please share with me!! I find the best books for my wish list on Waiting on Wednesdays!! This is my favorite meme!! Leave your links or I'll find you through your blog button!

                                                    Have a rockin' Wednesday!!

HOW WRITERS BUILD WORLDS - CREATING FICTIONAL COMMUNITIES

Characters cannot float in space. They need a world to walk in, to talk in, and to live their lives joyously I start with the characters: I ask them what type of community they live in. I find places with those ingredients and use the pieces. I add family, friends, and enemies. I provide jobs on the main street; homes on side streets. I surround the place with roads, beaches, parks, or businesses. I daw a map of the village or town. For Caleb's Cove, I looked to Nova Scotia's south shore islands, ocean-side markets, and beaches. I sprinkled in hurricanes, boats, history, and ghosts. ( The Caleb Cove Mysteries - 4 books) Writers can be inspired by characters or an event, but as the story evolves the characters need a place to live. The setting is a character in its own right and often dictates the direction in the story. Some writers set books in real places. In a large city, this works. However, using a smaller, limited population creates privacy issues and limits events. Th...
