Far From Reality

Question - In books like sookie stackhouse (true blood) series, the paranormal creature in question 'comes out of the closet' and makes itself known to the world. which mythical creature do you wish would come out of the closet, for real? 
That is rather difficult a question! well we all know witches and vampires are already 'out of the closet' so perhaps, Skinwalkers. Those of native american legend that can change themselves into animals willingly and change back. (not a were-anything!) also i think mermaids, dryads, wood nymphs and faeries would be cool.. Hell, any and all i would love to come out!


Question - Non- book related this week. Do you have pets?
Why yes i do! I have the greatest little dog in the world.
Her name is Panda, shes a 3 1/2 year old Maltipoo (Maltese/poodle mix) and shes the love of my life. She is so funny, she runs around the house for no reason and she snuggles under the blankets with me at night (when shes not fighting crime that is with her AK 15) I don't know what i would do without her in my life and i will always be her mommy.

Natural Selection
Author - Elizabeth Sharp
Genre - YA/Paranormal
Pages - Ebook







Amelia has always thought she was normal, human, but all that changes when she overhears her mother and father one night talking about her and how she just may not be who she thinks she is.

Natural Selection is the typical YA paranormal romance book with a few new elements put in to keep it slightly unique. Amelia is a Gaia, a creature of nature who has the ability to heal and work with plants and earth. Her brother is a Djinn and her sister is a Succubus. The diffrent paranormal creatures throughout the book was a nice touch, there are Witches as well but they are not the good guys this time around. In fact, enemies come in the most unlikely of places...

The characters themselves are the typical bunch, the lead is a plain jane but becomes beautiful and suddenly people are noticing her, the brother and sister are supportive but also harsh when nessasary, It was fine how it was but not anything that really strays from the norm.

The action is minimal but adequate when it shows. The love interest, Nathaniel is cute, protective, and loyal. I did enjoy this book, and I even shed a few tears in certain spots. There is some talk of sex but its minimal. All together its a nice little package of a YA novel and I do look forward to the next book in the series.

About a week and a half ago I was asked by Easy Canvas Prints to review a canvas print from them.

I decided the print I wanted was a picture of my mothers dog Queenie with a big smile. It was presented to her today, and she cried.  My phone camera can not do it justice, but here is a pic. It is MUCH better in real life!

Easy Canvas Prints really is just that, easy. Its a step process, and very foolproof. You start off by selecting your size canvas (prices are shown next to it) and there is also a size comparison on the right side. Next you upload your image and size it to your needs/likes.  You then have a choice of borders, color finishing and retouching. Afterwards you just add it to your cart and pay! I spent a good deal playing around with the option and finding what I thought looked best.

Shipping is fast, and reliable. The print is packaged very well and marked appropriately on the package as fragile.

Now for the print: GORGEOUS! the colors are rich, the texture is that nice canvas feel and smooth and the quality is phenomenal. I got a retouch on the eyes of Queenie since they were glowing in the original picture and they made her eyes look very good, and a wonderful deep rich brown which her eyes are naturally.

I am extremelly happy with my print, and it made a wonderful gift for my mom. Easy Canvas Prints is defiantly the place to go for great quality canvas prints your sure to love.

So a while ago, I was asked to play a game for the ABCfamily show "The Nine Lives of Chloe King." and since I finished all nine paths to the game I got to ask actor Benjamin Stone who plays Alek on the show a question, and he answered!
