Great Review - Murder and Lies
Don't you love getting a message with a wonderful surprise? I got just that - a great review for my newest book, Murder and Lies. 4.5 stars from The Long and Short of It Reviews - woo hoo!
Here's a little bit of what they said:
"A matter of trust, a matter of the heart. Murder and Lies does deliver on the suspenseful mystery, but doubly so on the feelings of the heart. This is an absolutely gripping romance. A must read for sure."
Here's the link - check out the entire review.

I Love Hummingbirds
A friend sent me an e-mail with some wonderful pictures of an albino hummingbird. I had to share some of them.
I think hummingbirds are one of my favorite birds. They have such energy. Wouldn't it be nice if someone found a way to bottle up their energy and sell it? Think of all that you could get accomplished.
We have hummingbirds that come in to feed at our cabin and it's fun to watch them. My little grandkids think its fun to see the tiny birds and try to touch them. Sometimes they get lucky and can hold their fingers out and the bird will come close enough so the kids can feel their wings flit across their fingers.
Aren't these birds beautiful? I've seen different hummingbirds before, but never an albino.
I hope you enjoy these pictures. Have a great day. Spend time doing good things. Most of all, do things that bring you happiness. Be happy.

Thought for the Day
I got this in a fortune cookie last weekend, and I thought it was an awesome one. So, here's a thought for this week:
Do not rush through life.
Pause and enjoy it.
How many of you slow down and take time to enjoy the many challenges, accomplishments and moments that make you smile. When your kids want to play, do you take the time to play with them? When you husband wants to just sit and hold your hand or go for a walk, do you find the time to relax and enjoy being with him? If a friend calls wanting to go to lunch, do you set aside whatever you're doing and take the time to go? Do you find the time to stop and watch the sun set and enjoy the beautiful evening?
I know its hard to enjoy the little things in life. It seems there's always so much to do that it's difficult to sit back but I hope you do. I know I'm going to try harder each day to slow down and I challenge you to do the same.
As we head into a new year, put this on your resolution list. Add it to the goals you've set for yourself. Take time to appreciate what you have. Pause now and again and enjoy your life.
Here's wishing you a great day.
Happy reading -- take time to enjoy a bood book. I plan to.

I Wish You A Wonderful 2012
Today...I wish you a day of ordinary miracles-
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself.
An unexpected phone call from an old friend.
Green stoplights on your way to work or shop.
I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in...
The fastest line at the grocery store.
A good sing along song on the radio.
Your keys right where you look.
I wish you a day of happiness and perfection-little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare.
I wish You a day of Peace, Happiness and Joy.
Wishing you a very Blessed Holiday Season
and the best in 2012

Kacey Mark Interview
I'd like to welcome Kacey Mark to my blog.
Kacey, thank you for graciously agreeing to be my guest today.
KR: Tell us about your journey to become a published author. Have you always wanted to write?
Kacey: My love for reading came first. During the summer of my sixteenth year, I fell in love with books. I could finish an entire 300 page novel in one day. It wasn’t until the school year started again, and I had this amazing teacher that actually APPROVED of romance novels, that I decided I’d try to write one.
Kacey: I figured that as far as Greek mythology goes, every gift comes with a price. When I came upon the Muse I was sold. They offer so much inspiration, but what are they getting in return? In my books I like to make them more dynamic with a goal: To completely fill the empty ache in their soul, which will give them a shot at mortality. Now if we can just keep those pesky humans from becoming addicted to their powers.
KR: Do you anticipate a third in the series?
Kacey: Not at present. Late in book two, Lochlan, one of my secondary characters, sat up and shook his fist at me. He demanded his own story for all the crap he went through protecting the heroine, so now he’s leading me off on another adventure.
KR: What inspired your Dark Muse Series?
Kacey: I love the thought of powerful men with deep, everlasting secrets. Vampires were pretty much out of the bag, so I turned to Greek mythology and the Muse
KR: If you had to pick your favorite character from your stories, who would it be and why would you choose that person?
Kacey: I love Kayla from book two. She’s so spunky and determined and she finds out the hard way that she’s still go a lot to learn. Unfortunately she has both the best and worst teacher at her disposal.
KR: What are you currently working on?
Kacey: I have a Merry-Go-Round Ran Down inspired ghost story near completion, and Lochlan beating down my door to write THE FALL GUY. Snippets of both are available on my website. http://www.authorkaceymark.com/Works_in_Progress.html
KR: Who has had the most influence on you as an author?
Kacey: My first influence was an amazing teacher by the name of Maryanne Barrett. I’m still trying to hunt her down to thank her. After that, my friends and family. I have a stellar support system that just doesn’t quit!
KR: What do you do to set the mood for you to write?
Kacey: I love playing music. In fact, I even set a theme song for every book.
KR: What’s the one thing you do to pamper yourself?
Kacey: I get my nails done once a month. I’m not sure anymore if it’s really for the beautification or my chance for a one hour sit down with my nail tech. She’s such a fire cracker! I love chatting with her. She gives me motivation and drive that carries me clear though to my next appointment.
KR: It’s the holiday season. As an author, how do you juggle your schedule to find time to write and still enjoy the season?
Kacey: Ugh! That’s a tough one. My writing tends to get sacrificed to the holiday gods this time of year, but I don’t mind. Going to family functions introduces me to some great characterization I wouldn’t have otherwise found. Seeing the snow, making cookies, playing with the kids, it all provides great sensory opportunities. I do it all in the name of research so I don’t feel guilty and I’m ready to start fresh in the New Year.
KR: Do you have a holiday memory that stands out in your mind?
Kacey: My sisters and I would play Mission Impossible to try and catch Santa in the act. We had walkie-talkies, elaborate rope systems—our baby brother was the mole. But we never caught the guy. He’s good!
KR: How funny. Sounds like you had some fun. If you could give an aspiring writer some advice, what would it be?
Kacey: Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up. If you want to write, WRITE! You don’t have to be published to be a success, and if you have a gift for telling great stories, the world wants to hear them!
KR: Great advice. Where can readers get your books?
Kacey: On Amazon and my publisher’s website.
KR: Where can readers contact you?
Kacey: My facebook fan page is the easiest route. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kacey-Mark/218199808200456
Kacey: Thank you so much for the opportunity and have a fabulous holiday season!
Thanks Kacey. I wish you, your family, and readers everywhere a wonderful Merry Christmas.
