Greetings!
Ugh. I'm fighting a
nasty summer cold / allergy / yuck something, which I'm hoping runs its course
before next week. School starts on August 25, but my kidlets already have golf
and football stuff going on. We've already had a football scrimmage and our
first golf match is Monday. Sadly, I won't be going because I can't breathe
when I go outside. LOL Ugh. Seriously, my nasal passages can clear up any time
now.
Let's see. Teen Wolf? Yeah. A shit ton of stuff
happened in the last episode. Glad to see things moving forward. I'm now
excited to see Monday's episode. If I'm not in a cold / allergy medication
induced coma. <see above>
Friday night on
Syfy is still kicking major ass. Defiance
turned in a pretty awesome episode. But… I was sad to see one of the characters
go. I'm also dying to see where this whole thing ends and there better be
another season to wrap stuff up. I'm going to be very angry if there isn't. LOL
Killjoys seriously keeps me glued to the screen. This is another one where a new
season is a must. The pacing and everything else related to backstory and world
building is just about perfect. The only thing I'd like to see a little more of
is John's history. I'd even throw Pawter in there, too, but I'm actually okay with
what's been revealed of her history so far. Here's hoping next week's episode
is mind-blowing.
Dark Matter… cliffhanger ahoy! I'll be riveted to see
how Two gets out of the predicament she landed in. I'm also interested in
seeing where they end this season. While this show spends a little more time on
backstory / exposition, I'm definitely excited by the possibilities of more.
The Last Ship. What can I say? I've praised everything
from the pacing, characters, actors, and writing. I'll add all the twists and
turns to the mix. I totally didn't see Rachel's ballsy action last week and I
can't wait to see if shit flies or not. I'm kind of hoping for the latter
because seriously? Her move needed to happen. Just saying.
And enough about
TV. Tonight's post is from The Cabin, a novella where my main characters almost
let family drama get in the way of something really great.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Whip meets the woman of his dreams when he tries to convince
Kari to give his brother another shot at her art class. But when she can't
accommodate the request, Whip still wants to pursue a relationship… until his
brother tries to get in the way and Kari decides she won't come between them.
And a snippety peek…
Kari Kells shook her head after
reviewing Warner Harrington's portfolio. "This guy didn't even try to
follow the guidelines to get into my class." Closing the heavy zip-up
folder, she set it aside and started on her notes.
She began with a rejection
letter, explaining in plain terms Warner needed to double check the
qualifications if he wanted to apply for her class again in the spring. Then
she made opened the portfolio again and made detailed comments on his lack of
vision, his half-assed attempt create something modern with paint slashes and
splatters, which actually looked like a four-year-old's work. The sloppy
techniques showed haste and little thought behind the projects.
If
he wanted an art credit, it wouldn't be in her class. She wouldn't waste her
time on someone who'd attempt to bluff his way through the semester course.
In fact, she resented the hour
she spent reviewing and rejecting Warner's application. Her class had room for
twenty students and over one hundred vied for one of those spots. And most of
those put forth a huge amount of effort to get in.
Not so with Harrington. She shook
her head again, then attached the notes and closed the portfolio. After
printing off the rejection letter, she stuffed it in an envelope and gathered
up the materials to drop off at the office.
Locking her office door, she
started down the hallway. "Better luck next time, kid. You're not going to
be happy, but a good lesson to learn." Her heels clicked on the tiled
floor, sounding the death knell for Warner Harrington to earn an elective
credit in art.
I'm excited about
this one. I love having a family dynamic even if it's not a full-on sibling
rivalry.
That's it for this
week. Happy reading!
