Funky Monkey T-shirt I'm loving this t-shirt!  This  silk-screen printed unisex T-shirt   is so adorable and comfortable. I had people asking left and right where I got it.  I received it as a product review from  http://www.tshirtprinting.net/printed-t-shirts/ I wore this t-shirt all day in the hot sun and it kept me from a sunburn and I wasn't too hot. I love the design on the front, it's modern and fun.  My 11 year old even asked to have the t-shirt so she could use it as a nightgown.  Of course, I said no way!   I really recommend these t-shirts, they are a great quality and they wash very well. Sizes are from    S,M,L and XL. The company makes custom t-shirts and I highly suggest to my friends that they buy these for their swag and contests :D   Awesome quality at great prices! I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my rea

Create Your Own Book Trailer – Easily! People love book trailers. Having an intriguing trailer is one of the best promotional tools you can have for your book. But hiring someone to create a professional trailer is expensive. Luckily, you can create your own professional looking trailer fairly easily by following a few simple steps. Believe me, I know. I had absolutely no experience with slideshows or overlaying text onto images or any of that stuff before I began making my trailer, and I think it came out pretty darn good. And I enjoyed doing it! Step 1 -- Collect some art. Before you can start putting a trailer together, you need some nice looking art. The obvious place to begin is with your book’s cover image (and any creative versions of it you might have), but you’ll need more than that. Look everywhere you can think of for images that match the tone of your book (my book Breathless is a paranormal romance, so I collected spooky pictures of the moon and clouds, dark forests, m

Lucas Simone is not the kind of guy you mess with. He's big, he's strong, and his eyes hint at a wilder side most women can't handle. Of course, that's because his predatory instincts are no metaphor-he's a genuine Grade-A top-quality werewolf, tough enough to fight his way to dominance over the scariest pack on the West Coast. There's only one chink in his armor. Unlike most alpha dogs, Lucas has a reputation for protecting the weak and innocent. Sarah King is counting on that protective impulse-it's the only thing standing between her and certain death. There are only two problems: one, she's not quite as innocent as she'd like Lucas to believe. And two, if he doesn't stop stoking Sarah's animal lust, it's only a matter of time before her own wild side gets unleashed... ******************** First off, I would like to clear up some confusion. At least I was confused. “Never Cry Wolf” is not part of the Night Watch series, thoug

Late at night he comes to her, speaks to her, touches her. It’s almost as if he’s alive… Thirty years ago James Macleod lost his wife and unborn child to a killer bent on destroying the Changelings. Though he longed for death, his animal instinct fought for survival and James has been a wolf ever since. Yet now a woman has reawakened the man in him, taming wild instincts but arousing still wilder needs. With his ancient enemy hunting the legendary white wolf, James must fight for new life, new hope, new love. ******************** “Changeling Dream” is book two, following fast on the heels of book one “Changeling Moon” (see prior review). “Changeling Dream” is set in northern Alberta, Canada, in Dunvegan. The area has been home of a Changeling pack for many decades. This series centers on the Macleo

I'm so excited! Now everyone can see the makeup I did for the photoshoot last month. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask :) Her makeup had already been done by Sarah Jane Flemming and she need a small change for this photo, so I   added a bronze shine to her eyes and highlighted her brow a bit more.  Her lipstick had come off so I put a light pink Sally gloss on her. For this look I used Avon's blue quad and some craft snowflakes and beads.  I started with concealer which I used to cover under her eyes and freckles just a bit.  I then used a mineral foundation to take away any shine. Some blue liner and black mascara.  A natural pink lipgloss to finish the look :) For this look I started in the same way as the last with concealer and mineral foundation.  I then used   NYX 5 Color Shadow - I Dream Of Aruba ( Can be purchase from makeupgeek.com/store )   I used Loreal's mineral blush and Rimmel's  neutral  lipgloss.   For this model I di

Abduction Book 1 in The Ishadarian Saga By Alexandra O’Hurley   Excerpt….     Besh moved to the front of the room and demanded everyone but the owner leave immediately. The customers and staff quickly exited, fleeing the unknown of what was about to happen in the small café, turning to look over their shoulders as they escaped. Besh then turned to the woman who remained in the doorframe that evidently exited to the kitchens. She was tall for an Earth female and he could sense that she was holding herself up using the support of the doorframe, trying to not show her fear. But she was given away by the slight tremor he witnessed in her knees. As he approached her, he caught a scent of something that stirred his blood and made his heart start to beat loudly in his ears. He had never smelled something like it before, it was not unpleasant, nor unwelcome, but it was affect

Introducing Lisa Beth Darling and her Character Interview!!! Come and read it! Also it's AWESOME! We're here today on a secluded Greek Isle with Ares God of War. The brawny 7 foot God before me is leisurely lounging across his Throne of Bones, his long muscular legs draped over one arm. All around us fires burns, the massive hearth behind me is fed by small trees, while in the corners of his dark cave torches burn bringing an eerie glow to the grim surroundings. Everywhere I look there is a weapon of some kind; sword, dagger, arrows, halberds, and of course, guns. The other 'decorations' consist of armor; brightly polished shields, breastplates, and helmets glow in the firelight to remind to be cautious and courteous to the drop-dead gorgeous man staring at me with smoldering onyx eyes. Lisa: Just wondering, but, why aren't we conducting this interview on Olympus today?  Ares: Suffice it to say that, my Family and I don't get along. Besides, if you went to
