A New Muse

I recently discovered an artist whose work captured me. I've always liked art, but never so much so that I had a favorite artist, or even paid attention to anything. I would say my knowledge of art begins and ends at my memories of watching Bob Ross on TV as a child.

This has now changed.

I can now say that I DO have a favorite artist, and her name is Megan Duncanson. :o) Now, of course, I must say she has a fabulous name, but an even more fabulous talent. For days I've been daydreaming about redecorating my office just so I can display some of her work. The first chance I'm able to buy one of my favorite pieces the demolition and reconstruction on my new writing space will begin!

I've pasted some of Megan Duncanson's work below, these are just some of my favorites. If you want to check out her website it's http://madartgallery.net/ or http://www.madartdesigns.com/. She's also got a blog! http://meganduncanson.blogspot.com/ What's really cool is not only can you purchase canvases, but you can also get custom linens, clocks, jewelry boxes, throw pillows, etc., all with your favorite design! How cool is that?

Chaos Synopsis

The excitement is mounting! I couldn't wait any longer to reveal the synopsis for Chaos, book 2 in my Agents of Evil series. It will be published next month, but I plan to continue with my sneak peeks until then.

Is any shot at living, worth dying for?
They thought they’d be safe, but a world ruled by chaos doesn’t die easily.

When Max turned on the radio transmissions assuring safety, they came. But, it wasn’t just survivors of the demon apocalypse that crawled their way into the abandoned military base. A myriad of beastly demons unlike any they’ve ever seen, came as well. Abby, and her companions, struggle to survive as the evil around them grows. Desperate to endure, and to defend their fellow survivors, Abby and a squad of fierce survivors, take on a dangerous mission that has deadly consequences.

Chaos Soundtrack

I don't know about everyone else, but I am really excited about the upcoming release of Chaos, Agents of Evil, Book 2. It has turned out to be the longest book I've ever written, and maybe even the best so far, but definitely the most difficult too.

I wanted to make a playlist of the songs I listened to while writing, but sadly not all of them were available at Playlist.com. BUT, I did want to share the song I would consider the theme song for the book. It's a song unlike any I've ever listened to, but it's creepy, and eerie, and everything the story of Chaos is. Listen to in the dark, when you're all alone, or even when you're reading Chaos too. Mwhahahahahaha!

Here's a playlist of some of the songs I could find that I liked to listen to while writing. It definitely got me in the zone to write this book, so if you want to get in that same zone I recommend you give one of the songs a listen. Maybe you might even recognize some of them too ;o)

I hope you all stay tuned for more Chaos sneak peaks! I plan to release some character photos, reveal the synopsis and even give a taste of the first chapter!!

Dreaming of Purses

How many handbag fanatics do I have out there in the bloggerverse? I hope I'm not alone! ;o)
I couldn't resist blogging about some of my dream purses as I browsed the internet and dreamed about what it would be like to own of these sweet, sweet handbags! What's your dream purse?

My uber awesome friend, Jefferson Montoya has a new CD out and it's AMAZING!!

I'm all about people following their dreams and doing what they love, and I think Jefferson is definitely doing that. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he's majorly talented either!! ;o) And, I am not just saying that because he's my bud. I think his music speaks for itself, literally. lol

 

Here's a fun video where Jefferson talks about his newest album Pinnochio Wishes.

Download a copy of his CD and tell him what your favorite track is.

Someday

I was browsing on the internet last night, waiting for dinner to cook and found something that made me drool more than the spaghetti I had on the stove. A kayak!! Yes, you heard me right, I said kayak. It probably sounds a little wacky, but I really want one. As of last summer, I've fallen in love with kayaking and am chopping at the bit to do it again. I love it almost as much as I love hiking. Almost. ;o)

See, doesn't that look awesome and totally peaceful?? No? What about this one?

In any case, I've decided to start myself a "Someday" fund. That way I can get started on doing the things I'd really like to do, and stop putting them off. I've even found myself a super cute kayak, and it's pink! I'd probably die and go to heaven if I could find a purple one, but pink is good too! So, next time I make the 1 1/2+ drive to go kayaking (I need to find someone with a truck to go with me. Carrying a 40 lbs. kayak nearly a mile to the water is not my cup of tea) I will post pictures!! I definitely recommend everyone try it at least one, you won't regret it. :o)
