Myths and magic ~ with a dash of romance

I’m shy about putting myself out there, but I realised today that adding The White Cat to the Preditors and Editors/Critters’ Workshop ‘best of’ poll was a good way to get some more free advertising. It’s two days before the end, and I don’t exactly have a large ‘fan base’… but, hey. Gotta try.

If you liked the story and feel like voting for it, you can do so here, with my thanks.

Hope everyone’s Christmas break was relaxing. Back to work tomorrow… I’m ready, but getting up in the morning is going to be painful.

Dark Diva Reviews gave The White Cat four divas. But, what truly made my day was the absolutely glowing review.

And then, earlier this week, Elisa Rolle posted her listing of the top ten links clicked in December. Her review of the same story tied for #8 with two others.

I don’t know whether to blush or Snoopy dance.

Both, maybe?

The Simpson’s version of The Raven.

and the Omnia version.

Both have their merits… but only one gave me chills.

Right here.

And it was way easier than I thought it would be.

The Fairytale Survival FAQ…

How to tell if you’re caught in a fairytale, and what to do if you are.

All about the Ancient Greeks, mythology, and sex (of course). But, hopefully informative.

Plus, there’s a chance to win my short story, The White Cat. All you have to do is write a rhyming couplet on a Classical theme. It doesn’t even have to be literary. Doggerel is perfectly acceptable.

I’m thinking about just turning this into a portal page, and having all my blog entries on something that doesn’t require any maintenance on my part. I’m having three kinds of fits trying to figure out how to make C-Panel work and updating my WordPress version to the latest. I already have a LiveJournal account (which this pushes to), and a Facebook account, and a Goodreads account… Seriously. How many more places do I need to blather on? It’s blathering in triplicate.

I *used* to be a geek. Then Mommy-brain happened, and a few years intervened. And here I am. Unable to update WordPress.

*sigh*

It’s just sad. I know.

The link that takes you to the image is somewhere on this page…

Happy hunting!

The Victorians, apparently.

Minty Badger and Toilet? Really? That makes Apple look positively sane.

I’m now looking for reviews outside of the romance circuit on Goodreads. The White Cat is definitely fantasy, and in the long tradition of altered fairytales… but it’s also m/m romance. Which might raise some eyebrows and anger levels…

I believe in what I’m writing. I believe in what I’m writing. I believe in what I’m writing.

And you never get anywhere unless you take a chance.
