House was as described in the listing, great for a large group. Nice pool and spa Good location. Easy walk to nice public beach and several restaurants. Would recommend.
Thanks so much for allowing us to rent this wonderful house. We had a spectacular times.
Best part were the bikes, the pool, the amazing kids entertainment room, the rental company was awesome and on top of things and made our stay very relaxing. Whatever problems we had they helped us resolve them immediately and were very nice and friendly. Thanks to Laszlo and Kristina.
The rooms were beautiful and well maintained and everything was very clean and new. The description was accurate and to the point. I would definately recommend this home to families with kids. The kids took the bikes to the beach and loved having the independence and we felt the town was very safe and although small provided enough for the kids to keep themselves busy.
Wireless internet was awesome too and all the I Homes in the house were great.
We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon.
Thank you !

Lower PAYG data pricingStatus: Implemented
I propose that giffgaff look again at the PAYG data pricing - I just can't believe they cannot do better than £2/MB capped to 50p. Do they really not want PAYG customers? For starters, I suggest flat fee of 1p/MB.
Hopefully it was all an oversight and Vincent will soon be along to mark this implemented.
Compared to other networks, paticularly Three, giffgaffs PAYG data pricing isn't actually that cheap. Three offer internet per day for 50p (upto 130Mb). If Three can offer that pricing then I don't see why giffgaff can't as they should have less operating costs due to the community provided support, etc.
@ouaisne If another idea like this had been posted it would have been marked a duplicate, if I'm not mistaken it's best to update and kudo an existing idea.
Yes I agree but not here. This is so old the pricing quoted under 'Implemented' are completely wrong and this will mislead many people. There are enough confused people about without highlighting pricing that is a year out of date.

NZ: New Zealand Winegrowers upbeat on supply glut
The CEO of New Zealand Winegrowers has said he is confident that winemakers have begun to drain a surplus that threatened to devalue the country's wine industry.
A smaller grape harvest in 2010 has helped New Zealand to regain some balance between supply and demand, Philip Gregan told just-drinks at the London International Wine Fair today (19 May).
"We are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel," he said.
New Zealand's 2008 grape harvest leapt by 20% in volume, fuelling a supply of cheap bulk wine that has threatened to degrade New Zealand's premium price positioning in key export markets. The 2009 harvest equalled 2008 in size, exacerbating the problem.
"It was a huge shock for us after 20 years of grape shortages" said Gregan. Increased supplies of bulk wine have been used to produce what Gregan described as "opportunistic brands".
Earlier this year, New Zealand Wine Company warned that the "financial sustainability of the New Zealand wine industry is being severely tested by the high level of bulk wine sales".
According to Rabobank figures released last month, New Zealand wine exports grew by 34% in volume and by just 13% in value in 2009, reflecting a surplus of cheaper bulk wine.
However, New Zealand as a country has also performed better than its rivals on the export markets during the global economic downturn. "We are still getting double digit growth in bottled wine exports," said Gregan.
He said that a lower 2010 grape harvest has combined with fewer vine plantings - there will be no new plantings in 2010 - to ease the supply situation. Annual grape harvest yields in New Zealand are expected to average 300,000 tonnes between 2008 and 2012.
In the UK, New Zealand's largest market by volume, average price per bottle for New Zealand wines has fallen to GBP6, compared to around GBP6.5 a year ago. Yet, this remains more than GBP1 higher than all of the other main producing countries.

Easy to use but frequently the weekly forecast doesn't match what they're saying on TV. National radar is sometimes more accurate than their own radar. Weather alerts should be off by default, unless you want to be woken up at 3am because of a high surf advisory.

Fantastic weather app. Using it on lg g2 running android kit kat.
(69 stars)
Just make an option to select the radar map as the default opening screen and my heart will wag its tail! Other than rain the weather details are pretty static and boring and just an obstacle in the way of the radar map.
(69 stars)
I really like new interface except for when trying to scroll west or left in maps it usually brings out the menu instead of scrolling. To bringing up the menu should only be on the bars in the upper left corner. Other than that it is very good.

A spacious deck and plenty of large windows offer incredible up-close panoramic mountain views.
An abundance of wildlife.. we have viewed and/or photographed moose, black bear, deer, fox, bobcat, coyote and an incredible assortment of birds (including owls and turkeys) in our yard!

Your place was absolutely perfect. The girls absolutely loved it. Our usual routine is to go out for dinner on Saturday night after a day of shopping. Not this year. We just stayed put and enjoyed your place.
We would like to reserve it again for next year.
Also, I would like to see if you will allow me to reserve next Thanksgiving. I would love to bring my children and grandchildren to your beautiful place.
We were lucky and were able to stay in this beautiful home last minute over the Valentines/Presidents day weekend. The house is well cared for, clean and inviting. The views of the mountains from anywhere in this house are incredible. It easily fit our large family. To our surprise there is a whole other level below the main living that could have easily and with extra room accommodated another family. I like that the bathroom on the main floor is handicap accessible.
Our kids loved this house and didn't want to leave. It was perfect and the owner is great. Rob was so helpful in recommending restaurants and shops. He let us use their sleds and our kids just couldn't get enough playing in the snow there. He made sure the house light was on and a fire was going when we arrived! It really is a well laid out home. We made great family memories here and we look forward to coming back, you won't be disappointed. Everything the other reviewers said I agree with wholeheartedly!
My husband and a group of friend had the pleasure of renting this home for a second time this year. We have been coming to Vermont as group for the last 8 years and this house has been a perfect fit for our group. There is plenty of space for everyone yet the home still feels cozy and comfortable. The fireplace is such a nice amenity, especially with the snow and very cold temperatures we experienced while there. Our entire group had a chance to enjoy the hiking trails that you can access right from the back yard. The location is ideal. Half our group skied/snowboarded at Stratton one day (half hour away) and we enjoyed a great dinner at Mulligan's in Manchester Center (10 minutes away). We didn't do any shopping this year but the shops in Mancheser are very accessible. The owner is very resposive and always got right back to me to answer questions which made planning the trip that much easier. We had another great year in Vermont and look forward to coming back.
We rented this home over the break over the holiday week leading up to New Year's Day and had a fantastic time. The house is very comfortable and accommodated our large family with four children. There was plenty of space for everyone and the home was very warm with a wood-burning stove and traditional heat throughout. The kitchen and living area on the first floor was very nicely laid-out for our family to relax after a day of skiing at the nearby mountains. The bathrooms were immaculate and the laundry room was super useful for our family. The house is situated on a beautiful piece of property and we even went hiking through the woods surrounding the home. We absolutely loved all the decorations on the walls and around the home. The location is also convenient to the nearby ski resorts of Stratton and Bromley, as well as to Manchester. A must-rent home!! We would absolutely return.
We rented this house over the long Columbus Day weekend and could not have been happier. It was everything that we were looking for. Easy access to Manchester, beautiful foliage everywhere (right off the deck), easy access to trail heads for hiking (right in the back yard), fully functional kitchen and grill so we could make great meals at the end of a long day. The house is SO perfectly VT with it's great moose and bears on the walls, and beautiful wood stove that heated up the house so nicely, and provided a romantic setting to just relax at night with some movies and wine. The electronics (TV, sound, music) were all so easy to use with the instructions provided. It is SO quiet and peaceful here, we can't wait to go back. I have to also comment on the owners, who were so very helpful with suggestions for hikes, dinners, back road drives and local attractions. The house was warm when we arrived late at night which was great. I left a shoe at the house and they were kind enough to return it to me on their next visit up there, which was much appreciated. They were a pleasure to deal with. Like I said- we can't wait to go back and are trying to find some time on the calendar to head back when there's some snow on the ground.
We were in Vermont for one of our son's wedding and we found the perfect place for the 10 of us to stay! This cabin was so amazing! It was even more wonderful than the pictures showed. The property was very clean and there was plenty of information for us upon our arrival. We could not have asked for a better set up. One really important thing about this property is that it is handicap accessible. One of my sisters ended up having to use a wheelchair and the ramp in the garage made it so she could still come and stay with us. We could not believe how much space we had. The basement was very surprising to us! There was just so much room. I could imagine that there could be times that the second kitchen in the basement would be very handy for the right situation. There were plenty of linens and towels in the well stocked linen closets. The kitchen was also well stocked. I was very impressed with the open communication with Rob, the owner, as well. I spoke with him on the phone as well as using email. He was very quick to respond to any question I had which I appreciated so much. The wedding took place at The Old Gray Barn which was about a 20-25 minute drive from the cabin. We ate one meal at Mulligans and one at Cilantro which are both in Manchester. I would recommend this cabin to anyone who might be looking to stay in this area! It will definitely be part of our memories from the wedding.
My husband and I and a group of our friends have been coming to the Manchester area for a weekend get away for the last 7 years. This is the 4th house rental we have tried and by far it was the best. The house was very clean which is always a concern--no one wants to spend time cleaning when starting a vacation. The house was large with plenty of room for everyone but still felt cozy and homey at the same time. The home is tastefully decorated and the big moose over the fireplace really gives it that Vermont feel. We enjoyed some time on the slopes at Bromley which was only a twenty minute ride and shopping and lunch in Manchester--just 10 minutes away. We normally do a nice dinner out but found ourselves a little snowed in which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened--the house is just such a nice place to hang out. Some of our friends enjoyed some time on the hiking trails out back which we look forward to exploring more next time. We are actually considering coming back with all the kids--the house is really designed well to accommodate a large group. The owner is very responsive and always got right back to me to answer questions--he really seems to enjoy sharing this lovely vacation home. We all look forward to coming back again--we might not wait a whole year to do it!

Credit Rating Upgrade Is Good News For Greece
Originally published on Thu December 20, 2012 4:44 am
Greece got a rare bit of good news late yesterday. Standard and Poor's upgraded the country's credit rating six notches to a B minus. I mean, not the worst grade on your report card, but in the financial world this is junk bond status.
Still, Joanna Kakissis reports from Athens that there is a more stable outlook.
JOANNA KAKISSIS, BYLINE: For a country used to bad news, the past few weeks have felt a little like Christmas. First, eurozone leaders agreed to a complex plan to lower Greek debt. Then, Greece bought back some of that debt from investors. Eurozone leaders were pleased - and finally released $45 billion in loans to the country.
Frank Gill leads the European Sovereign Ratings team for Standard and Poor's.
FRANK GILL: All these things taken together I think just shows a great determination by the eurozone to keep Greece in the monetary union.
KAKISSIS: And economist Gikas Hardouvelis says it's a vote of confidence for Greece.
GIKAS HARDOUVELIS: There is light at the end of the tunnel. And it will stay in the monetary union.
KAKISSIS: But Greece has a long and painful road ahead. The government is fragile, and unemployment - now more than 25 percent - is expected to rise next year.
For NPR News, I'm Joanna Kakissis in Athens. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Baby Bear
Baby Bear (Hardcover)
By Kadir Nelson
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
From Kadir Nelson, winner of the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator Awards, comes a transcendent picture book in the tradition of Margaret Wise Brown about a lost little bear searching for home.
This simple story works on so many levels: as the tale of a bear who finds his way home with the help of his animal friends; as a reassuring way to show children how to comfort themselves and find their way in everyday life; and on a more philosophical level, as a method of teaching readers that by listening to your heart and trusting yourself, you will always find a true home within yourself--and that even when it feels like you are alone, you never really are.

Best General Sports: "BCS Title Game" Alabama Public Radio
The University of Alabama Crimson Tide faced the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the 2013 BCS title game at Miami's Orange Bowl. The rivalry between Tuscaloosa and South Bend was a sensitive subject for Tide fans, since Notre Dame beat Bama by a single point in the 1973 Sugar Bowl. Many Alabama supporters at the 2013 title game were in New Orleans forty years ago and remember the loss vividly. APR's Pat Duggins reported throughout the event, both on the field and off. Along with the game, there was plenty of crimson, white, blue, and gold throughout Miami during the weekend before the BCS College Football Championship game in 2013. That includes the inner city neighborhood of Overtown, where botanical flowers in the team colors of Alabama and Notre Dame were planted in an urban garden built by fans of both schools.

Wrapping it up folks!
March 27, 2015
One of the fun things about writing a book is that I can make playlists for it or identify unofficial theme songs. For "The Serpent and the Angel," there is a song by Falconer called "Wings of Serenity" that is such a perfect fit, it's eerie. If Tobias could sing, that would be his song for Angel.
Here it is and it is work safe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-lTBVsaZ2I
You can find the lyrics here: http://www.metrolyrics.com/wings-of-serenity-lyrics-falconer.html
I love his voice, I love the lyrics, I love the music… everything! This is the sort of music I listen to frequently.
I don't always find a theme song or a love song from one character to another, but when I do, it's magical!!
That about wraps it up for me this time around. I'll probably be back when "Predator and Prey" is ready to be released. One of my favorite things about writing is coming up with the titles for the stories. Sometimes I already know the title even before I start to write and other times I have to edit the story a few times before the title reveals itself. It can be the most frustrating part, yet also the most gratifying especially when I come up with that perfect title.
I enjoy this title because of the contrast—"serpent" often means evil and "angel" often means good. But nothing is ever so black and white, there are always shades of grey (and no, I'm not talking about that book).
May dragons guard your dreams,
Series plan and another excerpt!
March 27, 2015
Find "The Serpent and the Angel" here! http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6201
Remember, while this might be Book 8 of my series, it is also book 2 of my Part 2 of the series. I have 5 parts planned and while the entire series should be seen as a cohesive whole, to make my life easier, I split the books into parts to make sure I stayed on track and told the story that needed to be told.
It's certainly a struggle to balance the romance with furthering the overall plot, but I welcome the challenge. I feel that with every book I grow stronger in my writing skills (and research skills), and I really enjoying seeing my series unfold and reveal itself. Every single book offers me at least one surprising moment.
That is the struggle with these later books since the dominoes need to start falling as the series unfolds. Part one (Psychic Moon through Master's Blood) was more of the introduction to my universe, and the characters and the groups I will be dealing with for the rest of the series. Now the rest of the parts will be focused on the various romances (of course) but also the workings of the villain Arcas and his allies. But the core of the series is still love and how each couple tries to save the day and prevent Arcas from reaching his goals.
Another excerpt!
The snake slowly slid out of the small hole it had been coiled in. Flicking its tongue, sensing no danger, it slithered and scraped over rocks and boulders, easily finding a path out of the rubble. It was hungry, but it didn't smell any prey, which caused it to focus on finding an exit out of the tunnel. For some reason it didn't want to hide and wait for prey, it wanted to find open air. Always going with instinct, the snake never questioned or doubted its senses. The long serpent easily made its way down the open tunnel, seeming to glide over the uneven ground and disjointed tracks. It wound around the mine carts, past the fallen pickaxes, constantly flicking its tongue.
It began to feel cool air over its scales and hesitated. Slithering to the side of the tunnel, the snake eyed the opening, flicking its tongue, again sensing no danger. It moved slower now, wary of the open air, the lack of protection. But something inside it urged it out, into the open; something seemed to push it forward. Keeping close to the side of the tunnel, it peeked out of the opening, into the dark. The moon was high, the stars shining, but the snake paid it no mind. All it saw was the wide expanse of land, and all it thought about was food and shelter.
But even as it was about to move across the darkened land, it sensed movement just outside the tunnel. Coiling into itself, the snake lifted its tail and lowered its face. Sound followed the movement, and the cause of that sound formed a shadow across the land. The snake flicked its tongue out, tasting the air, oddly familiar with the scent upon it. It wasn't prey. It wasn't predator. What was it?
A creature walked into sight. Again, there was an odd sense of familiarity. The known scent grew stronger as the creature seemed to notice the snake. The snake coiled tighter, muscles trembling. Its rattle shook louder.
"Never seen a rattlesnake as big as you before," the creature said.
The snake didn't understand. But Tobias did. It felt as though he surged upward, as if he was rising out of water toward the surface, straining for air. He saw through his snake's eyes, smelled Angel's scent. The snake fought, of course it fought, but Tobias knew he'd win. The snake wasn't stronger than he was. It had never been stronger.
The snake shuddered as if in pain, and the rattle stopped moving.
Angel knelt in front of the snake, at a safe distance from a potential strike. Tobias stared into Angel's face, using it as an anchor. He knew that face. He liked that face. When he'd changed, he'd been too scared, nearly panicked with the thought of death, that he hadn't fully prepared himself mentally for the change. This caused his snake to take over fully, for him to lose who he was, his memories, his purpose, his personality. But now he fought, and he knew he would win. But he couldn't allow Angel to see him change back. He couldn't even allow himself to consider the outcome of that travesty.
Tobias took full control of his snake and struck out at Angel, never intending to bite, but trying to scare Angel away. Angel jerked back in shock with a yelp. Then Tobias turned and shot down the tunnel, into the dark. But even as he did, and as Angel's scent faded, his snake began to fight back. Tobias held onto Angel's face, his voice, his scent, and kept control. But he couldn't hold the snake's form as he kept remembering what it was like to be a human. He could only move past the first corner of the mine before the air shimmered. His skin rippled violently, and he fell to the ground, a human once more.
Gasping, shaking, Tobias's skin flashed hot then cold. He was going to be ill; he knew he was, just like the first time. He curled into himself, his throat dry, his lungs heavy. He must have made enough noise to draw attention, because he suddenly heard someone running down the tunnel. It wasn't long before Angel ran around the corner and skidded to a stop. They stared at each other for a long, humming moment before Angel dropped to his knees and yanked off his own coat, wrapping it around Tobias.
Then, to Tobias's great shock, Angel pulled him into his arms and hugged him hard.
"Oh, thank the spirits. I knew it, I knew you had survived." Angel's voice was thick with tears as he rocked them both, his arms in an unbreakable hold.
Tobias didn't know what to say. He still felt ill and was becoming more so by the minute. But right then, he closed his eyes and allowed himself to indulge for a moment. He took a deep breath, coughed, but still relished the scent of his deputy. Angel was so warm, the kind of warmth Tobias's skin had never exuded. He curled into his deputy, remembering acutely the reunion with his parents so many years ago. It had been so different from this. He'd been slapped by his mother, yelled at by his father. His arm had been grabbed, and he'd been dragged to their carriage and berated the entire way home. There'd been no tears, no words of relief or joy.
He didn't know what to make of Angel's obvious affection or how to handle it.
Angel suddenly pulled back, and their eyes met again. Tobias's eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he could see his deputy's face well enough to see something in his eyes that sent a spike of fear down Tobias's spine.
"It was you," Angel whispered. "You were the rattlesnake."

Hi there! Still promoting my story "The Serpent and the Angel" book 8 of my Shifters series. http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6201
As I stated in my first post, "The Serpent and the Angel" continues the story of the scrolls and their guardians. But I also wanted to mention that it also furthers the story of the main villain of my series: in present days, he's known as Arcas, but he's had many names over many centuries. Some of my readers might have guessed it already and that's great, I really don't want it to be a secret, but I also wanted a little intrigue and mystery surrounding my villain.
There's a reason I spent some time describing Arcas's sapphire blue eyes and his beauty. Lady Anne Blackthorn (Hunted Guardian) had sapphire blue eyes and was a great beauty. Another character will appear in "The Serpent and the Angel" that has the same eyes and similar beauty. Try and spot him! (yes, it's a man).
My villain is just as important as my heroes, perhaps even more so. He works behind the scenes as well as occasionally stepping to the front. He has a goal/plan and nothing will stop him from executing it. I really love to hate that guy.
What are your thoughts on villains? Do you love to hate them? Just plain hate them? Or would you rather see more of them in a story?
Inspiration for "The Serpent and the Angel"
March 27, 2015
You can find "The Serpent and the Angel" here! http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6201
For those late comers, I'm promoting the 9th book in my The Shifters series. You can find the rest of the series here: http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/AuthorArcade/md-grimm
I suggest reading them in order from book 1 since they do depend on each other, but if you read them out of order you'll still get the gist.
The inspiration for this story actually came from a blog prompt I did a couple of years ago. I wanted a strange couple pairing and wrote a cute little story. It's nothing like the finished product, but I enjoyed the concept so much, I kept it.
What to read it? Here it is: (EXPLICIT)
It was typical. There he was, winding his way through the sand, slithering around rocks, looking for some tasty rodents, and a fucking eagle thought he would be the tasty one. Serp saw the shadow above him and didn't think much of it until the shadow got bigger. Serp slithered quickly over the ground, trying to find a good nook to hide in. But the eagle was quicker.
Serp felt claws pierce his skin and he was suddenly lifted from the ground. Knowing he had no choice, unless he wanted to be eaten, Serp shifted.
He was slow at it, he didn't spend his time as human much. It was too complicated. Snakes were easy and he loved being a rattler. But not when he was about to be disemboweled by a hungry eagle.
Serp managed to shift and that had the predictable effect of the eagle dropping him to the ground. Serp grunted as he smashed to the ground and rolled over the rocks and weeds. Serp groaned and managed to roll to his knees. He had expected that.
But he hadn't expected the eagle to fall from the sky with him. Seems he shocked the eagle enough the proud bird lost air and crashed beside him. But what Serp really didn't expect was for the bird to hop to its feet, stare at him with eerie intelligence, then shift.
Into a human.
Serp felt his jaw drop. A golden-haired, hazel-eyed, regal angel was standing in front of him. His skin was gold as well.
For himself, Serp felt skinnier than usual. His hair was brown, his skin was pale. He wasn't the most attractive man ever. But from the way the eagle shifter was looking at him, Serp felt like a god. Serp had never met another shifter before. But he knew there were more.
The man smiled. "I knew you were a shifter. You didn't smell like a rattlesnake. Not completely, at least."
Serp didn't know what to say. "So, what were you trying to do? Eat me or…"
The angel's grin grew bigger. "Oh, I was certainly wanting to eat you."
The angel leapt and shoved Serp on the ground on his back. The angel straddled him and licked his pink lips. Serp felt his little-used dick grow hard. He wasn't a virgin but he wasn't a stud either.
"Wha-what is your name?" Serp managed to ask.
"Don't have one." the angel on top of him said. His lips drifted over Serp's neck and rose up to his chin, nibbling at the skin.
"I'm Serp. As in serpent."
The angel pulled back and grinned. "I like it." then he kissed Serp. Heat shot through Serp's body and he no longer felt the rough and rocky ground beneath him. He didn't feel the hot sun beating down on his skin. All he felt was Angel's warm and willing body and he decided to only focus on that.
Serp's hands slid along Angel's back and his mouth worked energetically against Angel's. Angel groaned and pressed harder into him. Serp's hands had a mind of their own as they slid between Angel's legs and wrapped around his cock. Angel groaned and pulled away slightly.
"You are so sexy," Angel said, his voice deep and rough. Angel nipped Serp's lips.
"No, you are." Serp grunted when Angel cupped his balls.
"I always did like eating snakes," Angel said with a sly grin that made Serp's heart jump in his chest.
In a flash, Angel moved lower along Serp's body and slipped Serp's entire cock into his mouth. Serp's body bowed and he gasped in shock. It was so sudden, and rough. Angel's mouth was heavenly as it sucked and that tongue slid over the tip. Angel squeezed his balls and Serp gripped Angel's hair, the smooth locks sliding between his fingers.
It was quick and satisfying. And incredibly hot. Serp came with a groan and Angel groaned and swallowed. Angel moved up Serp's body and flicked his tongue over Serp's nipple.
"My turn," Angel said.
"Oh, yeah," Serp gripped Angel's long and beautiful cock and stroked. Angel's eyes never left Serp's face and his pupils were dilated to an extent that the hazel irises could barely be seen. His face was flushed and Serp couldn't resist a kiss. Angel gripped his face and kissed him hard. Serp stroked Angel harder and faster and relished in the groan and the wetness that covered his hand when Angel came.
They both lay back on the ground, panting.
"We're not done, Angel." Serp said, still wanting more.
The eagle shifter turned his head to look at Serp. Surprise was on his face but then a warm, appreciative smile spread across it.
"Angel. I like it. No one has ever cared enough to give me a name."
Serp rolled on top of Angel and knew that his isolated life was about to change.
"I care. And I'm yours if you'll have me."
Angel wrapped strong arms around Serp and nuzzled his neck. "A serpent and an angel. Perfect."
Silly, I know, but it was fun, and Tobias and Angel came out of it.
It's a trick sometimes to balance the "human" side with the "animal" side of a shape-shifter. I have to decide early on how much one side influences the other. I don't want to do the same thing every time; I want to keep each story fresh and engaging. That's why I made Tobias cold like his snake, and Angel was actually more easy-going and "talks" to his eagle a lot. He describes them as a team. But because Tobias is odd comparatively, I wanted the snake to influence his personality more, and not always in the best way.
What odd shifter would you like to see in a story? A cuttlefish, a unicorn, a parrot…?
Another excerpt and some background info
March 27, 2015
I'm back! Promoting my latest release "The Serpent and the Angel" (The Shifters Book 8).
"The Serpent and the Angel" was very fun to write because of the pairing of Tobias and Angel. I enjoy pairing "odd" couples and these two are perhaps the oddest of my pairings so far—a diamondback rattlesnake shifter (Tobias) and a golden eagle shifter (Angel). Since I find both of those animals beautiful and majestic in their own right, I liked the idea of them together. Also, I was intrigued by their symbolism in various Native American tribes. Both animals held (and hold) very important roles to those tribes, and I tried to play around with that within the story. But my greatest emphasis was put on the idea that they appear to be opposites in every way: one's above the earth, the other is earth-bound; one mates for life, the other is solitary… you get the idea. But in my story both of them are guardians. They approach their jobs differently but the core of who they are is the same.
And now here's an excerpt:
He pulled on Shadow Dawn's reins before dismounting. He approached five men, ones he knew well, Lord help him, who were currently getting their asses handed to them by one lone man. Tobias didn't recognize his face and figured he had to be a stranger. His clothes were plain and dirty around the cuffs and knees, indicating he'd been traveling for some time. He had a bag with him but lacked a hat.
Tobias stood for a moment, rather entranced by the ferocity and skill of the stranger. He was swift, his unusual gold eyes keen and sharp. He used arms and legs to defend himself, and one-by-one, each man fell to the ground, coughing dust and dirt. The sun glinted off brown hair streaked with gold, and it matched his skin, which was also an intriguing shade of light gold. The man was tall, but not nearly as tall as Tobias, who stood an intimidating six foot, three inches. The stranger had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his coloring was certainly odd. A suspicion as to the stranger's origins formed in the back of Tobias's mind the longer he observed the man. When all five men were flat on the ground, moaning and groaning, Tobias was able to take a better look at the man's face: he had sharp features, especially his cheeks and nose, a heavy brow, and Tobias decided he was quite handsome and strangely beautiful at the same time. Then the stranger looked straight at him. Those sharp, gold eyes met his, and a zing of lust shot straight to his groin. The man panted, sweating visibly, his bag still held by one hand, his body tensed for more fight. Tobias smiled.

Hello everyone! M.D. Grimm here promoting "The Serpent and the Angel," the latest story in my Shifters series.
"The Serpent and the Angel" continues the story of the ancient scrolls and their bird guardians. For those of you puzzled by the direction I'm taking with this series, rest assured I have a plan, the scrolls are very important and that's why I'm diving into the past to introduce them. And because it's fun J
If you want to learn more about my "grand plan" for the series, you can check out my blog at: http://www.mdgrimmwrites.com/#!blog/cqsg
I share all you ever wanted (or not wanted) to know!
I'm not too familiar with historicals, which is why I wanted to challenge myself with "Hunted Guardian" (book 7), "The Serpent and the Angel" (book 8), and the nearly-completed book #9 "Predator and Prey." I wanted to introduce the scrolls in a historical setting to set up where they are in the present (which will be books #10-#12, and possibly later ones).
Now here's a short excerpt:
Tobias knew how to intimidate, to make others fear. Lord knew it was his greatest skill. He had a deadly stare, aptly like that of a rattlesnake, and his eyes, his expression, were blistering cold. His boots thumped up the two steps of the general store's long porch before he entered the building itself. He turned smartly to the counter where an older gentlemen, one in a snappy suit, stood, waiting for the few customers inside to purchase their items. The man's gaze shot to Tobias's, and he visibly paled, his eyes widening.
With a casual lean on the counter, which didn't fool anyone, Tobias lifted the brim of his hat a fraction before considering the man.
"Good morning, Mr. Thompson."
Mr. Thompson had to clear his throat before he found his voice. "Good morning, Sheriff."
"I hear we might have a problem."
He blinked. "Problem, sir?"
"Aye, a problem. Namely, a problem you might have with a few of the hardworking miners the coal mine employs."
"I got no problem with those men."
Tobias's lips lifted slightly. It wasn't a smile. "Right glad I am to hear it, Mr. Thompson. That puts my mind at ease. Now, I'll just leave here and go tell those nice hardworking Chinese men that you don't have a problem with them."
Mr. Thompson scowled, his wrinkled face becoming more wrinkled. "Damn Chinamen. What kinda trouble they causing now?"
Tobias lifted his eyebrows. "They claimed, mistakenly, I'm sure, that you be raising the prices for them, while keeping the prices reasonable for the other miners. I reckon that ain't true, is it, sir?"
Mr. Thompson, while obviously still wary of the sheriff, didn't seem to want to appear cowardly. There were a few decent women in the store, including his seamstress wife, who were obviously staring at the two of them, eager to see what transpired.
"They come to this country, stealing work from decent folk. Lord knows they gotta damn pay for it."
Tobias tilted his head slowly to one side, his eyes flat, his face emotionless. Then, without warning, Tobias lashed out. He gripped Mr. Thompson's collar and yanked him forward, causing his upper half to lie flat along the counter. Mr. Thompson gasped and choked, his eyes reeling. Tobias shoved his face near the older man's, their noses almost touching.
"Let me make myself perfectly clear, Mr. Thompson," Tobias said in a low voice only the two of them could hear. "Consider this your only warning. Whether it's a Negro, Chinaman, Indian, or a damn dandy who walks into this store, you had better treat them with the same decency you treat those who look like you."
Mr. Thompson sputtered. Tobias tightened his hold, his strength absolute.
"I don't got a use for bigots in this town, and you know how I feel about useless folk."
Mr. Thompson paled even further, his eyes growing dark with terror.
Tobias paused, making sure his point sunk into the man's thick skull. "If a person got a use in this town, they get the same damn items for the same damn price. Have I made myself clear?"
"Aye." It was nearly a squeak.
Tobias let go and shoved Mr. Thompson lightly on the shoulder, sending him back across the counter. Mr. Thompson stumbled and panted, his hands shaky as he tried to straighten his clothing.
Tobias gripped the hem of his vest and gave a light tug to resituate it, before smoothing out his shirt. He sniffed and lowered the brim of his hat again, casting his face into shadow, his eyes the only things gleaming.
"Remember, Mr. Thompson, I only give one warning."
Mr. Thompson nodded vigorously, gulping. "Y—yes, sir."
Tobias spun on his heal, tipped his hat to the ladies who stood behind him, stunned. Then he was gone, striding out of the store and back down the lane. The sun glinted off the sheriff's star pinned to his vest as he now observed his surroundings. Parkers Hollow was a tough town with tough people, and he had damn well be tougher. That had never been hard for him. He was cold, detached, and merciless. He'd never pretended to be otherwise. Lord knew he was exactly the type of sheriff a town like this needed.
He lived by one rule: If a person had a use, then that person deserved his protection. In these rough lands, there wasn't any room for laziness or parasites. The last sheriff had learned that lesson quickly… when Tobias had put a bullet in his brain. The man had been a corrupt, drunken horse turd in fancy suits. He'd certainly had no use whatsoever.
Which do you prefer: series with the same couple/characters every book or different characters/couples but with a related theme?

Sex, Lies & Cover Art Blues (by @EMLynley)
March 23, 2015
Paul Richmond made the striking cover art for this book. He used a photograph by Brazilian photographer Ronaldo Gutierrez, who is the photographer for the wonderful Dirty Dining cover as well.
It's tough to choose what the cover should look like. For this book, there wasn't a particular scene that came to mind, or any symbols from the story, so I decided to go with a photo cover. I selected several, and Paul made mock-ups for me to choose from.
I had trouble making a decision. The other almost-cover is this one.
I thought the guy's clothing was enough like a tux to give it a wedding feeling. I let Paul and Elizabeth North make the final decision, and we have the gorgeous guy staring you right in the eye.
Do you think we made the right choice? Which cover do you like best?
What are some of your other favorite Dreamspinner covers? I certainly have a few of my own, but I like hearing which covers readers like, and whether you bought the book because of the cover?

March 23, 2015
Since you can read the first chapter over on the Dreamspinner page, how 'bout a bit from the first time Kieran and Jaxon meet?
A few minutes later, the rest of Kieran's breakfast arrived. Natalee appeared ready to stand guard and watch him eat, but the comings and goings of other customers kept her occupied. She didn't have any extra time for Kieran except to offer a refill of coffee, which he gratefully accepted.
As advertised, the pecan pancakes were delicious: large, fluffy, and full of chunks of pecan that added a delightful crunch. There was real butter and genuine maple syrup, and Kieran was in breakfast heaven. The fruit salad was fresh and juicy sweet, and the bacon was thick and meaty, not grilled to a crisp.
Positively breakfast heaven.
Kieran didn't make it a habit to be awake at breakfast time if he could help it, but if not, he required a good breakfast. The Copper Caboose served breakfast all day, and he'd happily eat all his meals here if he couldn't find any other place with decent food.
Kieran was pushing the empty plates away when the bell on the door jingled and the most beautiful man he'd ever seen walked into the restaurant. He'd seen plenty, so this was no mean compliment.
Make that most beautiful person, Kieran amended. He'd never seen anyone—man or woman—more attractive. Just over six feet, the object of future fantasies had short, neatly cut sun-streaked brown hair. His eyes—bright greenish-hazel, slightly heavy-lidded but in a sexy, just-fucked way—mesmerized Kieran, and just looking at his plush, full-lipped mouth threatened to give Kieran an immediate hard-on.
It wasn't simply his appearance, but the way he seemed so unaware of his power to attract. Kieran's usual playmates had no doubts about their looks, and that knowledge seeped into their personalities in all the worst ways.
This man wore a Wedgwood-blue button-down shirt fitted closely enough to make it clear he spent time at the gym, or played at least one sport, and took proper care of that amazing body.
And he was walking directly toward Kieran.
Just then, Kieran noticed the woman who had come in with the man and had pushed ahead of him as she moved toward Kieran's table.
"Are you Ky… Kee…." The woman fumbled the words, then gave up.
Kieran's eyes were still glued to the beautiful man.
"Keer-un." The man's voice was rich and resonant, with lovely inflections that made it distinctive and incredibly sexy as he spoke Kieran's name. "It's Gaelic, right?"
Kieran smiled, noticing a few caramel-colored freckles scattered over the tanned nose and cheeks of the man. Kieran realized for the first time in his life how much he adored freckles. At least the freckles on that face.
"Yes, it is." Kieran hoped he didn't have a stupid grin on his face. "You're probably the only person in town who can pronounce it besides me." Only natural that someone with an "X" in his name would be sensitive to another person with a slightly unusual name.
"I'm Danetta Archer." The woman practically shoved her way in front of Jaxon, blocking Kieran's view. She nodded her head in Beautiful's direction. "And this is Jaxon Lang, my fiancé." She reached out to shake Kieran's hand, and he felt obligated to take it. She gave him a short businesslike squeeze, far more powerful than her looks implied.
"Jaxon," Beautiful said, offering his own hand. Kieran took it, prolonging the contact, enjoying the warm, firm grip. Reluctantly, he let go before anyone noticed.
"Nice to meet you both." Kieran's gaze still focused on Jaxon.
Without asking, Danetta sat herself down in one of the chairs opposite Kieran. Jaxon sat down at the side of the table to Kieran's left, his knee slightly grazing Kieran's as he settled into the chair. The resulting jolt of electricity sped through Kieran's body, and he fought to keep his attention on the conversation.
"Alexa Harrington told me you'd be coming to town early because you wanted to do an article on my wedding." Danetta beamed at the word "wedding." "I'm not really familiar with Gloss. It sounds like it's a fashion mag, perhaps like Vogue or Marie Claire?" She paused. "You have a photographer coming, too?" Her eyes widened and flashed with excitement over the idea of her wedding being featured in one of those magazines.
Kieran shook his head. "I take my own photographs." He rarely did, preferring to paint pictures with words. "And 'gloss' actually has another definition: commentary or interpretation. It's meant to be an intellectual play on words: one connotation indicates shallowness while the other is almost opposite in meaning."
Jaxon smiled at Kieran's explanation. Danetta looked blank. "You're familiar with the word 'glossary'? They're related." "Oh, right," she said.
"It's very clever." Jaxon nodded.
Kieran gave a casual shrug, pleased with Jaxon's approval. "Well, I can't take the credit for it."
Jaxon turned his full attention on Kieran. "We wanted to introduce ourselves to you now, and—"
"We know you'll want to do some other interviews and I—we would be happy to schedule those for you, to help you out," Danetta interrupted.
Damn woman was already finishing Jaxon's sentences, and they weren't even married yet, Kieran thought wryly. It didn't escape his notice that Jaxon hadn't used any other pronoun besides "we," which was already disgusting in itself. Worse, Danetta had mainly used "I" and "my." Those sorts of details spoke volumes.
Jaxon might be the most beautiful name I've ever heard—even with the fucking X. Kieran forced himself to snap out of this daydream in order to participate in the conversation without drooling over Jaxon Lang.
"That's very accommodating," Kieran replied. "How did you know I was here?"
"Natalee called and told us," Danetta replied. "She knew we wanted to meet you as soon as possible. Everyone in town is on the lookout for you."
"You probably feel like you're being stalked." Jaxon's eyes twinkled in amusement. "Well, you are. I'm very sorry about that, but you're the biggest thing to happen to this town in a long time." Jaxon paused as he seemed to be giving Kieran a welcome once-over. "In more ways than one. I mean, we heard you're quite tall." A rather adorable wide-eyed look of embarrassment flashed across his face. "And everyone in town loves Danetta, so they're all very excited for our big day." Jaxon turned to her with a dopey, lovey-dovey smile that made Kieran want to puke up the fantastic breakfast he'd just eaten.
Jaxon's tone and demeanor were heading directly into Stepford territory, and it was a pretty disheartening realization that this beautiful man would be Danetta's husband in just a few days.
"So, Alexa said you want to focus on about how even though I was engaged before"—Danetta gave Jaxon a sideways glance—"that now I'm sure I've found true love with Jaxon. Have I got that right?"
Kieran liked how she put it—engaged, as opposed to actually had three weddings.
She continued, "And you want to meet the three men I didn't marry, so you can—what, compare them to Jaxon?"
"Well, I admit that's part of it." Kieran avoided Jaxon's eyes at the implied insult.

Sex, Lies & Wedding Bells is Here (improved and expanded) by EM Lynley #dreamer
March 23, 2015
Of all the tiny towns, in all the world, he walks into mine.
Texas native Kieran Quinn has hit the big time, working in Manhattan as a columnist for Gloss, a national literary magazine. He's well-known for his snarky, sardonic columns, but deep down he's more interested in exploring what makes people tick than his editor would like. He keeps his desire to find his own Mr. Right hidden under a sexy, carefree persona that favors champagne and underwear models of the male variety.
Jaxon Lang loves being the high school principal in tiny Buckwheat Springs, Texas after relocating from Austin to pursue his relationship with Danetta Archer, despite her reputation for leaving grooms at the altar. So far, he's avoided examining the questions he has about himself, certain that marriage will put them to rest. Then Kieran arrives in town. Kieran's charm and unique attitudes about sex and attraction soon challenge Jaxon's concept of what—and who—he wants.
While covering the latest wedding of a real-life "runaway bride," Kieran falls hard for the gorgeous—and supposedly straight—groom, Jaxon Lang, despite that ridiculous X. Then Kieran discovers both the bride and the groom have been hiding shocking secrets.
* * *
So, that's the blurb for this one. It's a fun twist on Runaway Bride. It may surprise you that I loathed that film. I hated Julia Roberts' character and wondered why Richard Gere liked her. Maybe I just had a crush on Richard Gere, so I was a little biased about Julia. Whatever the reason, I hated the film, but really liked the basic concept of the story.
It was easy to see how to use the story line for a gay romance. I also wanted to shake things up a bit with what happens at the wedding. I'm pretty sure I accomplished that even in the first edition.
What I didn't do so well was to make the characters believable. As a new writer I got hung up on what happens in the story (plot) and failed to realize that if you don't like the characters, you don't give a f*ck what happens to them. Kieran, the journalist, is pretty well developed, but Jaxon and Danetta weren't fleshed out as well. A lot of that was in the POV choices I made.
Originally, we just see Kieran's POV as he meets and falls for Jaxon, but never find out how much Kieran has affected Jaxon. Now, with a lot of new Jaxon POV scenes, his attraction to Kieran works a lot better. This also opens up some new details on Danny and her family, which are important to explaining the choices Jaxon makes.
Better the Second Time Around by EM Lynley
March 23, 2015
EM Lynley here for a release day party!
Today I'm really excited to celebrate the release of the second edition of Sex, Lies & Wedding Bells. Of all my books, this one is probably the most special for me. It's the very first novel of mine to be published, back in 2009. Dreamspinner offered me the opportunity to rewrite the book, make some big changes, and release an improved and expanded second edition.
A lot has changed for me since 2009 when Sex, Lies & Wedding Bells was released.
At the top of the list, I'm now a full-time writer. I'd be lying if I told you that move was planned. It wasn't. The reality was that just a couple of weeks before SL&WB was to be released, I got laid off along with about a third of my company and half of my department. I worked as a wine buyer for a large retail chain that had been posting terrible sales numbers for months. We got a new department head and he decided that he could only keep half the people. I ended up in the wrong half.
But it meant I had a lot of time to keep writing.
That first month or two after getting laid off was really devastating to me. If it hadn't been for the wonderful feedback and support from readers and other authors after SL&WB came out, I'm not sure how I would have handled the stress and downright despair I felt a lot of the time. Writing was the only bright light in my life, and the people I met through writing and my online friends made such a big difference in my life. I've had the privilege to have met many of you in person over the past six years.
In the years since this book first came out, I've grown a lot as a writer. I grew out of a lot of bad new-author habits and made a big effort to work on building great characters (one of my weak spots). Rewriting this book was a chance to clean up all the bad choices I'd made as a newbie. It was quite humbling to go through the book, word by word, and see some pretty awful writing.
Well, that's probably enough about me for now. I'll be sharing some excerpts with you and some other tidbits about the story itself.
I'm curious, how many of you have read the original version of this book? Stay tuned for a sneak preview of what's new in this edition.
