I was reading the novel Forrest Gump in bed one night years ago. When I got to the boiler room/cooking scene I started laughing so hard I rolled out of bed onto the floor and hysterically laughed until I cried! When I later saw the movie, I initially felt critical, as Tom Hanks did NOT look anything like the Forrest Gump described in the book. However, Tom Hanks won me over and I loved the movie. The book and movie are a bit different in my mind's eye; but, both are exceptional in their own right.
Congratulations on those amazing nominations (PLURAL, no less) Asa Marie! And, by the way, I love paranormal. I'm so glad you're a writer. I would be flabbergasted if I got great news. And, shock would probably set in if it were anything like your accomplishment. Furthermore, it's a joy to know you've gotten to familiarize yourself with a supportive writing community!
Our yellow lab, Waylon, was our first child. Since his arrival we've had daughters Sophie, 2yrs, and Adeline, 1 year. Waylon has watched over our girls like a doting big brother would. He's also been a loving, attentive playmate. Pets become family and own our hearts. They enrich life and bring joy! My most recent reads have had mythological animals. Raxtus (a dragon) stole my heart in the 4th and 5th books of Brandon Mull's Fablehaven Series. Silveny, the alicorn, was a lovely breath of fresh air in the Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. May your pets always bring you much joy!
Fablehaven (5th in series, Keys to the Demon Prison is my current read.) I've read the other books of that series this year, the last two books this summer. I've also enjoyed my first cozy, Vanilla Beaned, this summer too. So glad to have learned a bit about you and your books! You're now on my list of author's to read! Thank you!
I have that magnetic attraction to mythological creatures. And, upon reading the plot to Fire Danger I'm all in wanting to read it! So grad you became a writer! Since you asked, Wyverns tickle my fancy at present! And, I always enjoy reading about dragons, with Raxtus in Brandon Mull's Fablehaven series being my favorite presently. And, Shannon Messenger's Alicorn (Silveny) in Keeper of the Lost Cities was also a joy to me!
