Manly Muses

Well, this weekend I finally got to see the AVENGERS. I’ve been looking forward to this like crazy, but despite the hype around the movie…I was skeptical to see it in a packed theater. Ha, why? I have no idea. Three weeks in, it was still pretty busy and it didn’t matter. I blocked everyone in that theater out and had laugh out loud, rioting good time.

However, after a conversation lately with a friend about ‘muses’ I started to go my normal standby, thatif I had a muse, she’d be a workaholic. But after seeing this movie, coming out of pumped up with my creative juices flowing, ideas zinging off my brain like an electrical storm going haywire, I realized that’s not really the case.

My muse it seems, would be inspired by gorgeous hunks like the cast of the Avengers, in all out magical duels to save the world.

Seriously, this actor should never be allowed to cut his hair, or lose the sexy I-Am-The-God-Thor voice. Though he could definitely do his next movie shirtless. The Muse and I would both agree. Although, I am now crazy with the anticipation of the new Snow White movie, because, yeah, whoa:

So now that I think about it, my muse is a definitely overworked gal who is very much appreciative of the mancandy, especially those with really cool superpowers. Kind of like the men she writes. Go figure.

Now, as if I could stop with only one of the men from the Avengers, stay tuned next Monday. I shared my favorite of the superhero cast, but I think I’ll continue to work my way through the group. For a hint, next week’s manly muse needs to make me my own suit.

Six Sentence Sunday – Cry Sanctuary #2

Well, this week I figured we’d do a lighter excerpt. :-p Something a bit more fun.The start of what I’m thinking will be a very nice evening… (And any constructive feed back is more than welcome, as I’m in edit-mode on this thing!)

In one smooth movement, he scooped her up and slid her legs through the swing, setting her easily inside the old tire. He gave her a soft push from behind and whispered, “Stay.”

Like she would ruin this. No one had ever put this much thought into a date for her. Dinner and a movie, while a classic and exactly what she’d been expecting, had nothing on this. “My, my Mr. Wolf,” she whispered under her breath, grinning at the instantaneous chuckle it brought from him, “What clever ideas you have.”

Thank you to everyone who stops by each week! It means a lot to me. :) And be sure to check out the other amazing authors at Six Sentence Sunday.

Stepping away from serial killers…

Somehow, by sheer luck of the draw, my three current projects (Hounded, Cry Sanctuary, and Open Season) have revolved around a serial killer of some sort in the plot…which is all fine and dandy, but whoa I didn’t plan it and normally I like a little more variance in my bad guys from book to book. Thankfully each bad guy and main two characters have all been very different from the others so it still feels like I’m writing different books.

Nonetheless, this means that I’ve been buried in nonfiction on the workings of evil minds, reading life stories from real killers, scouring criminal profiling textbooks and you name it. I’m actually looking forward to stepping away from all those pesky murderers for awhile and playing with some new kinds of bad guys. There are a lot more dark and twisted bad guys out there than just your average mass murderer. :-p

So despite being most of the way through Shifter Town Enforcement #2 (Cry Sanctuary), I’m plotting a new, super sekrit project to let myself have a break from the series on occasion. And for this one, I’m making sure it’s not a serial killer for the Big Bad. On the other writing fronts…I’m chin deep in edits on my YA novel for my other name, working on outlining a revision I need to tackle this summer (Open Season), and slaving away over STE #2. Oh, and beta reading for a few people. Which reminds me…totally need to get on that tonight and finish up my comments so I can send it back to the author.

So yeah, enough with the serial killers, onto a new kind of evil. Mwhuahua (or you know, some equally sounding evil laugh :-p).

Six Sentence Sunday – Cry Sanctuary #1

Today’s snippet is from Cry Sanctuary – Shifter Town Enforcement #2. Here you get to meet the main female character from book two: Holly “Ollie” Lawrence, going head to head with our friendly, neighborhood bad guy… :-p

“Don’t,” Ollie managed to whisper right before the blonde woman darted out the front door.

The grin that slid over the Hunter’s face was triumphant. He turned those vibrant gold eyes back towards her. I win, that gaze told her, screamed it at her. Then he shuddered as fur washed out over clothing and in a blink of an eye, the monster that was the Hunter—the man that had killed fourteen people over the past two years—became a lean, black wolf.

Dark and deadly, he slipped out the door into the dimming evening light and Ollie Lawrence knew that tiger-shifter or not, Rosalie Myers didn’t stand a chance.
