Salamanders, Kickle Snifters and Leprechauns Oh My

First I have to thank my blogger buddy Christi for bestowing this most awesome "Prolific Blogger Award"

I'd like to pass it along to the following peeps:

Catherine

C. Lee McKenzie

Tahereh - yes I know I mention her a lot but she's awesome - I mean blogging for like 1 month and already 250+ followers???

NOW as to the contest from Monday:

Wow! What awesome and creative ideas you all have! It was really hard to pick. But, alas based on language barrier issues, people who might have already won (cough, Christi), and the ease of finding one to interview the winner was selected.

Next week I will be interviewing a WEREWOLF right here on this blog. So thank you to Heather for the suggestion and please tune in on Monday when you find out exactly what type of supernatural creature I think Heather really is.

SO, here's another chance for you guys - suggest some questions for me to pose to my friend the werewolf and if I use them I will credit you and link to your own blog. Plus it's just a lot of fun. Think of it as a good writing exercise. Stretch your imagination and maybe even learn a little something about these elusive creatures.

Monday Madness and How To Get a Turn

Hey! Guess what? Before we begin I have to announce that I won third place in a very fun contest. So if you want to see my silly rhyming query letter, read this post. ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!

So this week, I am honoring the winner (and I still can't believe she knew the answer) of my Creative Writer Award post. And I have to tell you all that she is

1. A very cool writer.

2. A difficult one to figure out.

BUT this week's honor goes to Christi Goddard!!

Christi's bio claims she was found under a rock and still waiting for someone to claim her. She seems a bit dark and edgy (which from me is a compliment, FYI) and is clearly very talented. But the two clues that really give it away are the name of her cat (Snape) and the fact that she clearly used Legilimency to figure out which item of mine was the truth.

Christi is clearly a WITCH.

And of course I say this with the highest respect for witches. Especially ones that could potentially turn me into a toad. So Christi - my question for you is:

Did you ever use your powers to get a book published? Or are you doing this the hard way?

Now - one more contest for you all and the winner gets to be featured on a Monday blog and find out what supernatural creature you are! OR if you've already had the honor then you can decide who I'm picking on next.

It's very simple actually - just tell me what supernatural creature you think I should interview next on my blog. I've had an interview with a Mermaid and one with a Demon, so who is next? Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Monday Madness - Guess Who?

Keep reading to find out about this pic!

There are two major things we need to discuss today. One is to announce this weeks victim! Thanks to Delaney Collins for volunteering, I have no problem with the fact you are a fictional character, it's just that since we already know you are a Fairy Godmother - where would the suspense be? So, instead I pick Kathy McCullough your creator. Kathy is an awesome person (Yes I can totally tell). She does so many great things for others and the environment, if you don't believe me, just check out her bio.

But there's also a mischevous spark in her. Example? Two of her favorite broadway musicals are Sweeny Todd and Little Shop of Horrors (one of my own faves btw).

So, I have to say Kathy is a Pixie! She's a little too good for her own good and loves nature. She's friendly and outgoing. BUT she's got that spark of you know what. No wonder she was able to get into Delaney's head so easily - they're practically cousins! So Kathy - got any extra pixie dust to send my way for good luck?

NOW - to the second item on our list!!! You're all wondering what was the truth in my last post! Well, I loved all the great guesses I received, but there is a clear winner. Christi Goddard!! You won!! HOW ON EARTH DID YOU GUESS THAT?? So, tune in next Monday when I figure out what Christi's true nature is...

In the meantime - allow me to explain:

1. I don't hunt vampires. They've done nothing to me.

2. My husband is a rocket scientist - not a shapeshifter - sorry Julie!

3. YUP. This is all about the picture above. Here I am as Metcalf. The evil assistant to the mad scientist from Nightfall at Old Tucson Studios, circa ohhhh lets not date myself, okay? I was an actress in my former life and I have to say as short as it was, this was the most fun I've ever had in any part.

4. Never seen one, but it doesn't mean they don't exist!

5. My MC is not a werewolf :( She and her family are Guardians, members of the secret society that serves as police to the supernatural community. There are werewolves and many other creatures in the book, however.

6. Arnold. Dear Arnold. He's not MY monster. He's the monster in my short story scheduled to come out in Bumples magazine in November entitled "Never Feed a Monster." and he lives under the bed of a ten year old boy.

7. I'm surprised how many vampire brothers are out there. Mine is a bit pale as well, but since he keeps kosher, I doubt blood is on the menu.

Phew. There it is. Alright! See you all Thursday and don't forget to comment!!
