Jewels Of Atlantis by Gena Showalter
All Atlantis seeks the Jewel of Dunamis, which legend claims can overcome any enemy. Grayson James, human agent of the ultra-secret Otherworld Bureau of Investigation has orders to keep it from the wrong hands -- or destroy it. What he doesn't know is that Jewel is a woman, not a stone! But once he meets this precious gem, destroying her is the last thing on his mind.... Jewel, part goddess, part prophet, is a pawn in Atlantis's constant power struggles. She needs Gray's help to win freedom and uncover the secrets of her mysterious origins. Gray needs her wisdom to navigate monster-ridden Atlantis. But need blossoms into passionate love as they fight demons, dragons, vampires -- and a prophecy that says the bond between them could destroy them both.
If you haven't ordered this yet, all I can say is...why not?
The days after deadline!
OH My!!
I subjected myself to the brutalness called deadline! WOW I really wanted to enter the Amber Quill Press Heat Wave contest cause dat dat dat da da da daaaaa! I finished it! Despite everyone's attempts at home to ruin my chances of entering!! I STILL did it!! I won't win or place or anything, but I'm so happy that I told them to "stuff it" that I was doing it against their whiny butt interruptions and demands that they come first and not help me. FINE! I DID IT ANYWAY! And I'm sooooo very glad I did!!
Super thanks to Trace Edward Zaber for being such a great guy! He's been answering questions at the Romance Divas forum offering great advice! I certainly would be honored to be published under Amber Quill Press! I don't expect to place if no other reason than the rushed way I had to write my entry, BUT I plan on working All year to enter next year's contest, and have my entries spit and polished til they are gleaming!!
Good Luck to all Amber Quill entrants!!
D! Day!
and I don't mean Doom!
ok so today I went to the D as in Dentist!!
First time in like gee more than 15 years. Yeah I hear you people out there cringing at the thought that my teeth are grossly rotttened out! They most certainly are not, Thank you! :D I am a total nerve case with doctors and dentist though so believe me I've been in pain to even go.
I have two bad wisdom teeth and one other molar that isn't that bad, but needs a bit of attention. :D But anyone with a medical license of any kind-- well I'd prefer to meet only in passing at the grocery store for idle chit chat-- but thanks anyway :D
I've been fighting a fever for a week now. hmm pain in the wisdom tooth, fever, not felt good, very hard time getting any writing done (I'm trying this for a warm up Amber entry you know!) I assumed my only trouble was my tooth causing problems.
We recently bought one of those things (I'm sick so bear with me I can't remember what you call them) that you can shine a light in ears, nose, & throat for a better idea of what's going on. So I'm checking kids ears-- just cause they are there and I want to make sure everyone is in top form. SO the middle child has a place in his ear-- OH NO he has an ear infection :( So I'll keep an eye out on his ear :-D
We homeschool and I'm thinking hey this is great for health and have my oldest son looking in everybody's ears for hands on learning. So we're talking about balance and extra stuff the ears do so I let him look in my ears.
!!!! Warning Warning !!!!!!!!!
My oldest son (I'm preening cause he's the type that will probably be a doctor :D ) says "Mother, you have the same thing as my brother, except a whole lot more."
HMmm really? So I have two ears full of infection. Great.
That would explain alot of my overall sick from head to toe feelings now wouldn't it? So I have some medicine from the dentist. I'm hoping that the medicine will take care of the ears too. :D Cheating I know, but hey I've been to SOMEONE this year! Can't I stay away til next year at least?
Okay so I have to go back to the dentist ---soon. And have those teeth removed and one filled. I forgot to mention that I'm not having the metal fillings. NOPE NOT GOING TO DO IT!! I'm sorry but I'd rather pull the whole tooth out (back molar) than to be unable to drink something ICE ICE ICE cold. OR SUPER HOT like HOT Chocolate. So I'll have to see about that tomorrow.
In Further news, hubby was told today that he may start 3rd shift at his job this coming Sunday. I know you day people are probably thinking Oh no, so sorry to hear that HA! You didn't notice my blog title did you? LOL Diva of the Night! I'm estatic!!! YAY!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been hoping for a long time that he'd get third and after 11 years of being with him and his job was 1st shift we're finally seeing each other!!!! :D I have it all planned out--oops shouldn't do that!!, but Lord willing it will work out great!
OK I think it's time to shut up and get to writing. I have medicine to take very soon and hubby will be home.
Night everyone!
