Matchmaker has been released!

My fun, quirky e-book has been launched into the wild!!!

When Alex stops into an antique store for a simple gift, he discovers the owner, Cindy Lee, keeps a creepy apparition as a sidekick. Wanting to make a quick exit from the shop, Alex heads for the door, but soon finds the giant angel has other plans for him.

This comedy can be purchased @gypsyshadow among other e-book locations.

Price is a mere  $2.99

A bargain!

The Sainthood Ghost, my first quirky comedy, was published last year. Both e-books are short fun reads that are Christian based.

When Bella inserts a horror flick into the DVD player,  she finds her apartment is being haunted. To rid herself of the problem, she tosses the movie jacket into the corridor leaving the hallway in danger. Jake, best-friend, must come up with a solution and fast!

My Little Square Award

I’ve been nominated for the 7×7 Link Award, and now I must fulfill all the requirements. Stay tuned as I must toot my own horn to acquire this prestigious award, which, I fear, will be something akin to bad gas.

First requirement: Thank the person who nominated me for this gassy task — I meant delightful award. The Woman At The Well is a dear, sweet person, and I enjoy her blog immensely. I’m sure you will too, so please visit her site here.

Second requirement: I have to somehow match 7 of my articles to the 7 descriptions below. I can only accomplish this in a tongue-in-cheek manner!

The Most Beautiful:  God’s Magnificent Creation

The Most Helpful:  Decorating With The Grandchildren

The Most Popular:  My brother — Conqueror of Life

The Most Controversial:  Unbelievable

The Most Surprisingly Successful: A Sunset to Soothe the Soul

The Most Underrated:  Catch The Train

The Most Pride Worthy: The Route 66 Bridge

Third requirement: Now I must nominate 7 blogs who I think are worthy of receiving the 7×7 Link Award, and I can assure you they are much more worthy than mine.

Freedomborn

I was Thinking

Resting In His Grace

Christianity out of the Box

Drusilla Mott

Brush Arbors Ministries

Fourth Requirement: I must alert my candidates of the good news so they too can acquire a 7×7 sticker.

Fifth Requirement: I must disclose a big Secret — here it is. My husband was raised in a home where you could NOT say the word “FART” much less expel the forbidden gas, and if he accidentally popped one off, he had to pardon himself extensively. So to help him overcome this childhood trauma, I fart extremely loud and and in a meek, mild voice say, “Excuse me.” I’m convinced, to this day, that this is why I am thin and he is round!

The Versatile Blogger Award

I’m a new blogger, so to be put on the list for a Versatile Blogger Award by mtsweat is quite an honor and a challenge.

In order to be a winner though, I have to honor the person who listed me, (see above) list 15 bloggers, and jot down 7 things about myself.

I don’t know fifteen people in the blogging world, but I’m up for making new friends.

So here goes, who I chose and why:

1. Because Jen makes me laugh.    jennthezookeeper

2. Because I want Mona to receive the crown of victory.    mona

3. Because I like Bonnie’s symbolic Teddy Bears.   memorybearsbybonnie

4. Because Celina likes good lyrics. celinahokeah

5. Because Butch loves Jesus.    butchdean

6. Because Oscar is an accomplished writer.  oscarhokea

7. Because Sweat’s an intelligent writer.       mtsweat

8. Because Jeffrey explains the whole Versatile Blogger Award so eloquently.   memoriesofcaleb.wordpress.com/2011/09/21/the-versatile-blogger-award/

9. Because I liked Anne’s Eagle Story.  freedomborn

10. Because I liked the pastor’s GTO/restoration in Christ lesson.  pastorbaumann

11. Because I understand Patrecia’s struggle.  misswhiplash

12. Because Lincoln wrote a nifty post called Stop Complaining.   ichtusministries

13. Because Jean suggest we vote according to God’s will. Amen!  jeanbrunson

14. Because her blog page is awesome.  thewomanatthewell

15. Because I liked Teresa’s Poem.  terri0729

Seven things about myself that I don’t even want to know.

1. I drink coffee with God every morning — sometimes it takes two pots.

2. I have two hangar cats — go hunters!

3. I live on an airport, but I don’t know how to fly. That makes me a walking oxymoron!

4. I love my grand-babies, even if I have wrinkles.

5. I love my family, even if they gave me wrinkles.

6. I think some fb post are more information than I needed.

7. I think finding 15 people for a green stamp is insane.

“Unbelievable”

With publisher’s rejections also comes, “Your characters are too unbelievable.”

I’m sure in the face of current fiction that’s true. My Christian characters are nothing like today’s themes where super-duper beetle-bug, adorned in red laced tights and bright orange wings, saves the world from people like Auntie May; the little old lady who stuffs conservative tracts in her girdle.

Or the vampire that falls in love with Countess Hostility because her scathing tongue scolds him for drinking too many bloody margaritas. Or the Lollipop Troll, who dangles his gold wares before Princess Empty-Head; she in turn licks his sticky pink claws for a bit of a reefer.

And romance! Do you clutch novels to your bosom, pant heavily, and faint? Do you believe your soul mate is two doors down waiting for you to deliver wine and pizza? If so, romance really stands for: Roll Over My Apex, Neighbor, Combat Emesis.

In reality, romance appears to be one drink shy of passing out. I once heard a man say, “Hey, my tents down on the end, if you want to take a tumble,” while holding a baby in his arms.

If the bible portrayed Jesus as wearing purple leather, gold chains, and wild hair, who spoke in a honey-laced voice saying, “Come unto my tent, baby. I will give you S A L V A T I O N if you will but follow me!” would he somehow be more believable in today’s world.

For those of you who need clarity, LIFE is unbelievable – fiction is NUTS! And Jesus Christ is REAL!

Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet believed. John 20:29
