Cardinals

My favorite bird is the Northern Cardinal. Why? It was my grandma's favorite bird, and every time I see one it just reminds me of her.

She passed away August 2008 while I was in the Missionary Training Center (a place were Mormon missionaries go to learn how to teach and the basics of the language they will spend 1.5-2 years preaching). Yes, I miss her sometimes.

A heavy post but hey, I just got back from an amazing trip to Virginia and I saw a couple of them.

Cheers everyone!

Throwback Thursday the First

I've always wanted to do one of these, but I'm gonna start off with an old poem I wrote a long time ago and I'm still quite proud of. Here's to a writing prompt given to me by Jenni Bringhurst, my Elvish Pirate Gypsy Minion Fiend:

My heart was in the right place

Well, obviously a year and a month ago I made a resolution to blog more...And that didn't quite happen.

But in other news!

I finally self-published my novel, The Wizard's Seal!!!  WAHOOOO!!!

The Wizard's Seal: Samurai and Seers will be available to buy through Amazon and kindle. So you all know, it's the first part. I split it into two books to make it more manageable for you lovely readers out there. *blows kisses and strawberries* I hope everyone enjoys it. I did work very hard on it.

Now the next big thing is tackle Part II in editing (already a nightmare) and start a new book (completely stumped but I'll push through). So in the famous words of a bouncing tiger,

"TTFN!!!"
