Cake Wrecks 1, Kanye 0

Just read today's blog over on one of my favorite blogs, CAKE WRECKS.

The cakes decorated as books are awesome enough, but it was the remarks made by rapper Kanye West that just made me FUME! And this man is an inspiration and model for teens and young adults? Does he understand the term "hypocrisy"?

Check it out and see if you don't agree!

Of course, I couldn't end the month without roses. And these star-shaped roses are so lovely and unique.

She was one of thirty-one aliens who escaped the slave ship where she had been kept captive for all of her life. Now she could live a quiet, peaceful existence on Earth, free from pain and misery. Or so she had hoped until the fateful night when she was caught in her true form. From that moment, Challa the Alien Girl became one of Lawson Hall’s best draws to his traveling sideshow carnival.

Compton Scott didn’t believe in aliens. He had enough on his plate without having to worry about being dragged out to some two-bit circus. Still, he got a kick out of the little freak show featuring the woman dressed in a green costume. But once he got home, she began to haunt his dreams and every waking minute.

It wasn’t long before Compton discovered the truth about the alien woman and his growing feelings for her. Unfortunately, Lawson Hall wasn’t about to give up his bread and butter without a fight.

Neither were the Arra.

I'll post more information as I receive it.

Stay tuned!

Dear Linda: Which character do you identify with the most?

Dear Linda,

I've always wondered ...which character out of all your books do you identify with the most? Or do you put some of your personality into each of the heroines? They always say, "Write what you know!"

Hmm, what an interesting question. I really put a little bit of myself in all my characters, but I think I identify most with Atty from THE BATTLE LORD'S LADY. She says and does what I have either done/said, or wished I could. :D

Yes, I know I've done sunflowers before, but I couldn't resist this shot on the beach.

There's something about walking into a flower shop. Maybe it's the scent of budding blooms that overwhelms you when you first enter.

Wouldn't you love to be attending this garden party?

"The calla lilies are in bloom again. Such a strange flower - suitable to any occasion. I carried them on my wedding day, and now I place them here in memory of something that has died."
~ Katharine Hepburn, STAGE DOOR (1937)
