This movie was AMAZING!!!!! I have gone to see it three times now. Each actor did a splendid job and I wasn’t bored at any instant.
Some of the best parts of the movie included all the scenes with Quicksilver (he was fantastic)
and the parts when Magneto goes badass and turns to his darker side, causing chaos wherever he goes…
But that is why we love him. Michael Fassbender did a great job bringing Magneto to life, and I love seeing members of the old cast brought back as well (**spoiler although wanted to cry when I saw Cyclops’s face). Also, still very very made that there was no Gambit, and even more furious about the news of Channing Tatum being the next Gambit… I guess we will see…
This was by far my favorite X-men movie, even with no Gambit. I can’t wait to see where they will bring the series. Although there were some plot issues, like them not bringing Quicksilver with them even though he is awesome and fast or not really mentioning Wanda or the fact we now have two Quicksilvers and maybe two Wandas because of rights held by Disney and Fox… **Spoler: Also I want to know why when Wolverine wakes up, he’s not angry about what Magneto did to him. I would be furious! The first thing I would say is where the hell is Magneto, I am going to kill him!
If you haven’t seen it, go see it right now! I promise it’s better than any of the others and that it will be worth your time!
It’s finally here! My first novella of A Falling Starr, Forgotten is now available on Amazon and soon to be available on Barnes and Noble Nook (having problems with it right now).
One year ago Angela Starr woke up in Portland with no memory of who she was nor where she was from. Since then she has been searching for any trace of herself, only to find nothing. Wanting to move on with her life, she decides to enroll into college only to run into someone she feels familiar with. Did she know him before the accident? Did he have the answers she had been desperately searching for? With strange men following her and a man who seems to know more than he is letting on, Angela Starr may finally find what she has been looking for.
I would like to thank Chantelle with A Twist of Karma Entertainment for editing my novella and dealing with all my mistakes, Marcy with Backstrip Publishing for formatting and help dealing with Amazon not wanting to accept the formats, my writing group for helping push me forward as writer, my friends and family for reading all the stuff I throw at them, my mom and dad for supporting me in this career, and lastly, my husband who puts up with everything I do and all my stories.

Fire Emblem: Awakening is the 13th game (overall) and the 6th released in the US of the totally epic, strategy RPG series that is Fire Emblem. This game was released in the US on February 4th, 2013, my Birthday! It was meant to be… It was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo This is a great buy if you have a Nintendo 3DS and was the biggest reason for me to stick with nintendo and upgrade my DS to the Nintendo 3DS. This game is like “The Princess Bride” it has everything! Action, romance, war, magic, time travel, good, evil and much much more! Nintendo hit a home run with this title and took all of the best aspects of the previous Fire Emblem games and added some great new features into the mix as well. In this game you are the strategist for the army of Chrom the Prince of Ylisse who needs to take back his kingdom and homeland and battle the evil that is corrupting his world, which brings together peoples and characters across the continent.
This is a strategy game so if you aren’t into that at all then you may not enjoy it as much but it doesn’t feel like a strategy game while you are playing it. You are more involved in figuring out what characters work well and who you want to use and how then the actual strategy of the game and you learn about each different character as the story progresses and how the connect into the story line. Each character has a different class with certain skills and weapons that come with that class. There are swords, lances, axes, bow and arrows, magic and healers as well as some half creature type characters that use their natural weapons. What is great about this game is that your weapons that aren’t magical have limited lives and if you choose the classic gameplay mode a character who dies, ACTUALLY DIES, forever… well you do have a chance to resurrect one person who died previously but you get the point.. But newbies to the series can switch off this option and there is also the classic easy, medium and hard levels. Another great thing about this version of the series and all Fire Emblem games is that most anyone can beat the game you may need to restart if you do move a character wrong and they do end up dying but I have beaten almost every version of the series on medium difficulty at least. So it is a great game if you are new to the series or to this type of game.
Another cool new feature in this game is that you play as your own customizable character on the battlefield and you get to customize their class and stats. Plus there is also marriage in this version of the game to increase the fighting skills if these two characters are battling next to each other. The same goes for normal friendships between characters which strengthen their stats if they are next to each other. The story in the Fire Emblem games and this version in particular are very good, they all have a similar framework for the story but vary in many different ways.Another unique aspect is you can recruit people on the enemy’s side of many of the battles if you talk to them with the right character or in some cases pay them, usually thieves or mercenaries. You can usually tell who these people are because they have actual names and you can tell that they are not the boss/commander for that level. Google helps a lot too! LOL!
But seriously this is a great game that you should check out and if you wanna go old school try one of the Fire Emblem games for the Game Boy Advance, Wii, gamecube or even further back if you know japanese!

Hi all! Sorry for the delay, I was having a problem with my cover on Amazon, it’s still not resolved but rest assured, when you purchase the story the actual cover that you see below is included, some reason on their website it doesn’t show it. I don’t know why, I need to call them again.
This is the fourth installment of Damon Salvatore: Life After Lost series.
After being driven out of London by Kol, Damon Salvatore is trying to set up a new life in Paris. Although he doesn’t want to get too comfortable in fear that Kol will find him once again, a young man makes him rethink his solitary life along with a beautiful performer at the new Moulin Rouge who might be more than she seems…
I want to say thank you to everyone who has helped me throughout this project, especially my parents, V, and Faye for helping me edit and giving me ideas. I also want to say a special thank you to Rebecca for providing the photo for the cover. And thank you to my amazing husband who has to put up with me writing all the time. Thank you so much!!!

This comicon was a blast! So far it was my favorite con that I have ever attended! I got to hang out with a bunch of friends, see lots of artists and authors that I haven’t seen in a while, and I got to meet Nathan Fillion!!! Also, my husband got hit on by John Barrowman throughout the entire weekend, so yes it was the best con ever.
Everyone who volunteered at the con were excellent! They had a lot of people to deal with and by Sunday they had a good hang of it. This year was crazy but the con did a great job solving the problems of lines for photos and signatures. Although for the panels, a lot of people didn’t get in until after the panel started. But other than that I think they did a great job handling people.
Here are the pics I took this weekend, and some of the photo ops we took. If you are in the pic and want to be tagged or your name attached to it, just comment below and I can do that for you!
Also, the girl who made the ood hat gave me a card for her shop where she sells those but I can’t find it currently. Once I do find it, I will update this post with her website.
Thanks and hope everyone else had fun this weekend!

Now with the one person keeping his morality in check murdered, Damon Salvatore is seeking revenge. But Kol is smarter than he had thought. Always on step ahead of him, Kol makes Damon feel like a fool. But the end of this game is drawing near. Can Damon defeat him? Or will Kol always be one step ahead of him until the very end?
I want to say thank you to V and Faye for helping me edit my story, and to my parents for helping to edit as well, and a special thank you to my husband Craig for feeding me and giving me tea as I sit at the computer and type away….

Blood Alone
Written by: Masayuki Takano
Published by: MediaWorks(former), Kodansha(current)
Well, here is my first review of a manga series! Normally I will only review a manga that is finished or review an arc of a storyline, but since this manga only comes out every once in a blue moon, I am going to go ahead and review it.
Blood Alone is an ongoing manga published in Japan about Kuroe Kurose, a private detective and author, and Misaki Minato, a young vampire girl, and follows different investigations that Kuroe receives. It can be very dark in some scenes, but in others be very cute and sweet. It is well rounded and a rather serious manga compared to others. Misaki loves Kuroe, but she is forever trapped in an adolescent’s body. Kuroe cares for Misaki a lot and has given up vampire hunting in order to protect her. The vampire inside of Misaki is slowly taking over and taking away her memories of being human. it is a slow change and Kuroe hopes to help keep her humanity in tact, or he might lose her for good. There are a couple of arcs that the series covers, in English at least, and all of them are quite enjoyable and suspenseful. All the characters are well rounded and I love Higure, an elder vampire who looks like a little boy. He is wise and dark but on the outside he just appears to be a boy. I find those to always be the scariest vampires, ones that look like an innocent child but are quite the contrary.
I really enjoyed the published books so far (1-6), but am very upset that 7-10 have not been released in the United States. I ordered 7 in Japanese, hoping the kanji would have kana next to it because then at least I can translate it, but unfortunately it doesn’t. So far I have translated a page. Either I need to be patient and wait for them to publish in English, or further my understanding of Japanese. I’m not quite sure which one will come first.
All in all, this series is worth buying, even though not all are available in the United States. I have read and reread the 6 books so far and hope that they decide to publish more in English. If you are looking for anything vampire, series, cute, yet suspenseful, this is a perfect series to pick up.
Hope you enjoyed my first review, let me know what other manga series you think I should check out!
