When Dr. Brook Wilson agreed to take on celebrity Italian race car driver Jason Maxwell, known as”The Baslicato,” as her patient, little did she realize their relationship would turn her calm, pleasant, well-ordered life upside down, sending her off on dangerous adventures in southern Italy and northern Ohio. As she prepares him for his big race, she must deal with his demented wife while driving her boyfriend, Dr, Garrett MacEgan into acts of criminal desperation in a attempt to hold on to her.
When tall, handsome British actor Richard MacKenzie wakes up in the hospital after an accident, he discovers he’s a short Italian race car driver named Jason Maxwell, known as THE BASLICATO.

I really never saw this ending coming, and it had me in tears! Any of Carol Ann Kauffman’s novel are a must read in my opinion!

“Mercy’s Angels Jenni’s Story” (Book 3 ) by Barbi Barnard – #Romance, #Contemporary

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 4, 2018 in A - UNCATEGORIZED, Owl and Pussycat Book Promotions

Viv Drewa

Jenni has opinions of what a biker club is like. They are not the kind of people she wants to be around. With her brother moving the club back into the Play Pen she needs to come to grip with her fears. She has fears for Tiffi being involved, and she has fears for Momma dealing with a club that abused her.

From heartache to heartfelt
By Jo Powers

This book was so touching. Watching Jenni go through everything she did as a child and then coming to accept that the MC was no longer “evil,” was a fantastic journey.
I loved that Wayne helped her come to terms with the new MC. He is a great husband.

There was a time before Prince Christophe was born when the worst fate his people had to worry about was war with their troll neighbors or an invasion from elfin forces beyond the woods. But that was before he was born and was cursed.
If he dies, so to do his people.
Such a simple phrase, so oblique, and yet Kit has lived his life in fear of the prophecy, searching every shadow for assassins come to get him.
Until she came and took up arms in his defense.
Warrior and witch. Assassin and priest. She was his teacher and his protector. His friend. The only woman ever to run from him at the end of a ball, and the only woman he ever asked to stay.
But Eli is an outsider in the human world, and trusted only so far, even by the…

The Best Ways to Use Metaphors and Other Literary Devices

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 2, 2018 in Writing Help and Advice for All

Ryan Lanz

by Jordan Jolley

Literary devices are the paintbrush. The story is the painting.

We’ve all been taught this ever since we learned how to read. Letters build words. Words build stories. Most of us have also been taught how to make our writing come to life, how to add texture and all that. From my personal style of writing and the ways other authors write, this is very important to know. And it’s not just because we need to add literary devices everywhere.

As I wandered down the front by the sea at Holyhead in Anglesey. I found a painted rock in the monument. It didn’t have anything written on the back, so I wasn’t sure it was an Anglesey Rock one.

What Ian Fleming Did to Make James Bond a Success (Besides Write Terrific Books) – by Ruth Harris…

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 2, 2018 in Writing Help and Advice for All

Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

on Anne R. Allen:

It’s not just today’s authors who work hard. Consider Ian Fleming.

The Man With The Golden Typewriter: Ian Fleming’s James Bond Letters is a collection by Fleming’s nephew of the author’s letters to his publisher, editors, colleagues, other writers, fans, readers, and friends.

They were written in the 1950s when the British mail service operated at high efficiency. A letter mailed in the morning would be delivered the same day. The letters are organized chronologically and were written contemporaneous to the publication of the James Bond thrillers, beginning with Casino Royale.

Lively, witty, and extremely informative about the inner working of book publishing at the time, the letters reveal Fleming to be a man of charm, lively intellect and wide interests.

He was also a hard-working author concerned with the technical, editorial, and financial details of publishing.

Ian Fleming’s Publisher Wasn’t Impressed.

MOONLIT FOREST

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 2, 2018 in Authors, Haiku, Limerick, Poetry and Tanka

SUSANNE LEIST

“Walk with me through the moonlit forest.
Let our feet graze the tips of the grass,
never touching down,
held aloft by our love and passion.

Follow me through the endless night
to a land where no man walks.
Only creatures as dark as the sky
dare to venture forth alone.

Love has no bounds or shackles.
We will be free to display our passion,
without retribution from humanity
as long as you remain mine.

Come with me, my ice princess.
Step away from the burning plains,
where the heat burns your soles
and love is hampered by the living.”

Wolf holds his hand out for me.
The words flow from him.
His lips never utter a sound,
but his meaning as clear as can be.

We can be together forever more.
But the other has followed us to the clearing.
He will try to take me back
and never…

September is Self Care Awareness Month

Posted by The Owl Lady on September 2, 2018 in Authors, News, Posts or Views

Annette Rochelle Aben

September is Self Care Awareness Month. This is a brand new monthly observance, yet self care is something we should all be embracing.

Now, I am not a Doctor, and I don’t even play one on my blog. However, I can attest that when I do as much as I can for myself, my life is better. Whether it is cooking healthy meals, filling my ears with uplifting words and music or simply soaking my feet every now and then, everything helps to keep me on an even keel.

What I have done, is to create a series of blog posts with one idea for each day in the month of September. These are suggestions. Take them for what they are. Personalize them to your tastes and/or circumstances. Collect them, share them but bear in mind that they are designed to help you help yourself.

Here’s a thought. Each…
