Vampire Short Story Releases

I'm really excited to be able to say that two of my historical vampire short stories will be coming out soon with Eternal Press.

If you like a good vampire tale, keep a look out for:

October 2008

Shadow on the Crystal

Cover by Dawne Dominique







September 2008

Sword of Anubis

Cover by Ally Robertson



Both covers blew me away. I love them! I hope you do too.

I also hope you'll enjoy the stories. Thanks to some wonderful editing from Deborah Nemeth, these two historical tales have sprung into life. Don't forget to keep an eye out for them at Eternal Press.

Also don't forget, my art exhibition is fast approaching. And, yes, I'm still throwing ink all over canvases [and everything else] in an attempt to have some new paintings to show off.

Add to all this: At long, long last, spring is approaching and I've been trying to get outside into the garden to gain some sort of control over the jungle before the summer hits. I did manage to scare a few weeds into submission yesterday. I hope word has gone out through the weed vine that I'll be out there again today and possibly tomorrow looking for victims to add to the compost. Sneaky little weeds. They think they can run riot all over my garden..... I'll show them.... hahahahahhhah!

Cheers

Olympic Fever

It's that time again...

Every four years I suffer from a strange condition: Olympic Fever.

Some of my friends are also suffering from this strange condition. It hits us every four years and keeps us virtually housebound and glued to our televisions.

Suddenly I begin to watch sport. Not only that, but I become an instant armchair expert on every sport I watch. You name it - I can judge it from the comfort of my own lounge room.

Well... that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! What better reason could there be to stay inside on a cold winter's day? And just so I don't feel totally bad about staying indoors, I do odd things like catching up on the ironing, polishing the floors, mending clothes, catching up on my writing and editing and getting some painting done - the artistic type. This morning during the beach vollyball and men's basketball I even cleaned all the windows - the insides at least.

All in the name of fun!

Good luck to all our Olympians! You're all heroes.

Cheers

Gypsy Stone Dukkering

Casting the Stones

Long before the Tarot became synonymous with fortune telling, Gypsies used the natural world around them to help them see into the troubled hearts of those who came seeking knowledge and guidance.
River stones, gems, crystals, sticks, needles and bones were often used by the dunkerer [dukkerer] or palm reader.
I love using my own set of river stones that I personally hand picked and charged with healing energy.
When I read, I'm not so much telling a fortune, as looking into the heart of the energy surrounding the person I'm reading for. I believe this gives a more accurate insight into what is at the heart of a problem or situation and can provide real, down to earth ways of helping people deal with what life sometimes throws at them.
Casting the stones is something I love and I hope to continue with my readings for as long as life will allow.
