<br />
Okay, my loves, here's the deal, the last two weeks have kind of blown with family and work drama - much of it good, some of it less than good, and in the last five days, there have been two oral surgeries in this house - two kids and 8 impacted wisdom teeth. And now? I'm getting sick. My throat is swollen, and I'm pretty sure I'm running a temp, so this post is going to be so, <i>so </i>short.<br />
<br />
This was another two-parter. It's a year later, Arthur is ruling by proxy since Uther is a shell of the man he once was and basically sits in his jammies, stares out his window and refuses to eat. Arthur's got his Uncle Agravaine there to help, but he's super sleezy.<br />
<br />
Morgana is nowhere to be found (until of course Sir Leon and some other knights find her) and she kills two of the four of them by throwing them around with her magic. She's heading to the Isle of the Blessed with Morgause so she can sacrifice her sister and the entirety of Camelot can be killed off by Dementors. (called something else, but fever brain cannot remember)<br />
<br />
Arthur, Merlin and the knights head out to stop the Dementors, but the only way to stop them is another blood sacrifice. Arthur plans to sacrifice himself for the kingdom and Merlin plans to sacrifice himself for Arthur, but Lancelot beats them both to it and sacrifices himself for Gwen because he promised Gwen that he'd protect Arthur with his life.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, Uncle Sleezewad is totally evil and in cahoots with Morgana. <br />
<br />
I'm bummed that I feel like ass, because I actually like a lot of stuff that goes on in these episodes, but blergh. Okay, so the questions.<br />

Morgan - Interview and Giveaway<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Before we get to the exciting bits, gather 'round my children, for I must tell you a tale.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Once upon a time, I used to cross stitch like a mad fiend. Not unlike the way I knit now. *ahem* But anyway. I was super in love with a designer named Teresa Wentzler - she had magical designs. Maddening patterns. But I spent hours on them. I also spent hours on the TW bulletin board. Remember those? And a few other cross stitch boards, too. And while I was scoping out new patterns, fabrics and techniques, I met the coolest person. Her name was V.s., and we hit it off immediately. We emailed all the time, exchanged patterns and talked, talked, talked. I adored this woman to pieces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After a while, life became somewhat of a shit storm, and I fell into a pretty deep depression. I sort of drifted away from email, cross stitching and everything else. It was enough of an effort to drag myself through the day, let alone communicate meaningfully with anyone. We fell out of touch and email accounts were closed, addresses were lost and I didn't realize the impact of that until I eventually, started clawing my way out of the gray. And that's when I realized I had no idea where V.s. was or how to reach her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I googled. I stalked FB. I googled some more. Every year or so, I'd wash rinse and repeat, but nothing until last month. I got an email on my non-author FB account. IT WAS V.s. AND SHE'S WRITING EROTIC ROMANCE NOW!!! You guys, I was so damn excited! I can't even begin to tell you! I'm so happy that we're in touch again. And now, I want to introduce her to you, too. Because she's awesome! And I want to tell you about her new release!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">First, the questions!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I work
full-time so I have the daily morning run-around of breakfast (and doing some
quick author business), making lunches for hubby and me, and taking care of the
pets before heading to work. I typically work an eight hour day, sometimes
more. Then I’m home to make dinner and check in with my son to make sure he’s
on track with his homework. I write or do author business in the early evening
but try to shut down and read/listen books out loud with the fam to decompress,
otherwise I have trouble sleeping. On the weekends, I shop and clean house with
fam’s help, and cram in as much of writing as I can. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It
took a team effort, but I consider my marriage my greatest accomplishment. I
met my husband in college, and we were married after graduation. We have
weathered death of family members, health issues, several moves, layoffs, etc.
and are still going strong. We celebrate our 20th anniversary next summer. Not
bad for two “kids” with divorced parents and dysfunctional families.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I
still have the comic books my brother and I collected as teenagers. It’s fun to
look through them with my son.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I
like ladybugs, so friends and family have given me items with ladybugs on them.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My
eReader has a boat load of books on it, so I’d consider that a collection.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Cross-stitching
is one of my favorite hobbies. I learned as a teenager, but took it up
seriously after college. I love taking a blank piece of fabric and making
something beautiful. It’s super relaxing, and I find it helps focus my mind
when I’m plotting a story.
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I
also enjoy spending time outdoors, walking, bird watching, and just plain
enjoying being out in the fresh air.

I’m a huge Joss Whedon fan. I watched every single episode of all three of
these series. I can’t even rank order them – it’s like picking a favorite
child. Wow, I’m a geek. ;)

master assassin who is also a wolf shifter. He uses the money from his jobs to
help care for his mom and disabled sister. Although he’s a gun-for-hire, Hunter
has a moral code. He will not kill innocents or shifters. Hunter is a hardcore
badass, but he’s also funny, loyal, and very sexy.</span></div>

Eugene, Oregon. He was raised by his human adopted mother. He’s also a wolf
shifter but didn’t know he was different until puberty and doesn’t know other
shifters exist. He represses his wolf to stay safe. Casey is sweet and sassy.
His default mode is being happy, and this ginger can be sexy as hell.</span></div>

on Hunter’s smartass best friend, Rex. I loved writing him in HM! And we’ll see
a lot of Hunter and Casey too. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Blurb:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Artist
Casey Smith lives a quiet life, under the radar of his enemies, until one
fateful night he loses control and the astonishing image of a wolf racing down
a suburban street splashes all over social media.<span style="background: #F6F7F8;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hunter’s
bullet never misses its target. The assassin seeks out and kills his prey with
a clear conscience by following two simple rules: 1) Don’t kill innocents 2)
Don’t kill shifters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Realizing his latest assignment violates
those rules, the hunter activates <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Princess
Protocol</i> and the assassin becomes the protector. Red hot attraction flares
between the hit man and his former target. Can Hunter resist the sweet shifter
in his care?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Excerpt:</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He stepped closer to Casey’s stall but
stumbled over something small and furry. The toe of one Birkenstock caught on a
clump of grass as he attempted not to trample the little beast, and he
ass-planted with said beast jumping onto his chest to give him a broad doggie
smile.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">His buddy laughed piss-your-pants-hard
in his ear. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fuck a duck</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Miss Priscilla!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The target he’d worked so hard to
observe remotely sank to the ground between his sprawled-out legs, peeling the
tiny hairball off his chest and setting it on the ground.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I’m so sorry! Are you okay?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Big blue eyes fringed with long, pale
lashes scanned his body while strong yet gentle hands moved over his ankles and
legs, searching for an injury. Oh, a toucher. His wolf basked in the tactile
attention. His breath hitched as those hands glided past his knees and skimmed
his thighs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Damn, he needed to get laid after this
assignment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Oh, my, what a li’l sweetie. Look at
those freckles! I wonder if he’s got them everywhere. I’d like to lick them,”
Rex crowed in his ear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He growled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The other man chortled. “Possessive,
much?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He inhaled deeply, only to be slammed
with the force of a Mack truck. Strawberries on a warm summer’s day and
fresh-cut grass—shit, his target smelled delicious. He took another breath, and
his brain reeled. He’s a wolf shifter, too? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fuck</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Casey’s brows furrowed. “Where are you
hurt?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 212.25pt; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He forced a smile. “I’m fine. No
worries.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Casey returned the smile, his wide and
high beam combined with sparkling eyes. Hunter stared as warmth wrapped around
him like a blanket. He had no ammo against such a happy, open expression. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The
guy freaking glowed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>What’s a
typical day like for you? </b></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Right now my typical day is spent
going between job hunting and writing. I usually do quite a bit of social media
in the morning. After lunch I am on the Internet job searching, then in the
late afternoon and into the evening I write.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>What do you
consider your greatest accomplishment?</b> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I have two greatest accomplishments.
The first would be actually finishing a book and submitting it for publication.
My second would be going to college. I didn’t go right after high school.
Instead, I went out and got a job. Luckily, for me I began working at a local
university. I now have 2 undergraduates and a masters in teaching.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><b>Do you have
any collections?</b> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Unfortunately, yes. I collect dolls,
but not things like Madame Alexander. Nope, I go for the weird and eclectic. So
I have Begoths, which I love. I also collect music, because I listen to it all
the time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What are your
hobbies?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I love to knit and I make jewelry.
Also, my sister and I are getting into polymer clay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Are there any
skills you’d like to learn?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I’d love to get more skilled at
knitting. I really want to make my own sweater one day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What sound do
you love?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I love the sound of waves hitting the
shore. My favorite vacation was when I went to Mexico and sat by the ocean for
an entire week. It was amazingly relaxing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What sound do
you hate?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Loud, booming music coming from cars.
I love music, but when all I can hear is the heavy bass that’s not music.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What’s your
favorite curse word?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fuck, of course. It’s a multi-use
word. You can punctuate a sentence with it or, even better, it can be used all
by its lonesome and everyone knows what you’re talking about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Dog or cat
person?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I love both, but I have cats now and
just love them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Coffee or tea?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tea! But it has to be loose leaf and
brewed correctly. *sigh* I’m a tea snob.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>City or
country? </b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Country. My cousin has a 15-acre farm
and I love it out there. It’s so quiet and she has a creek that runs through
her property with a waterfall. Totally amazing to sit and listen to it. I would
love to have a house near the woods one day with my own stream and waterfall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Star Wars or
Star Trek?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Star Trek. My dad introduced me to it
when I was a kid and I’ve watched every single incarnation of it on TV and at
the movies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Buffy, Angel
or Firefly?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Firefly because I love Nathan Fillion.
He is an amazing actor and just seems to be a genuinely nice person.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Pirate or
ninja?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Ninja! The whole idea of working
covertly is so cool. But if someone does discover who you are, you can just
whip up on them and disappear into the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Morning
or night person?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Night.
I’ve always been a night person and I find I get the most work done at night.
The later it gets the more awake and ready to go I am.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Procrastinator
or get things done early?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Procrastinator!
Ask any of my friends and they will tell you. I’m really bad about putting
things off until the last second. On the flipside, when I was in college I
tried to get everything done early. I kept a calendar of when papers were due
and I would crank them out one at a time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Introvert or Extrovert?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Introvert. I love being with
people. I love talking with and learning about people. I love hanging out with
my friends. But at a certain point I have to leave because I’m exhausted. It
takes all my energy to be ON. So I have to retreat to someplace quiet so I can
be alone, read, listen to music, write.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What do you
like best about writing?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I love making up my own worlds, places
and people. I love the process of sitting down and just having the story roll
out onto the page.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>What do you
like least?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When I’m forced to do something other
than write, especially when the story is flowing and I have to leave it to do
something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>Do you have a
day job aside from writing?</b> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I did, I worked at a museum as an
educator, but was laid off back in July. So, while I look for another job, I am
spending all my time writing. So far I’ve finished 2 books so I’ve certainly
been keeping busy.</span><br />

admit—getting kidnapped wasn’t something she’d expected. Discovering her
kidnappers were aliens who planned on selling her into sexual slavery,
definitely tipped the scales into the truly bizarre. But she’s determined to
fight her way through this—until their slave ship is attacked, and Laira’s
faced with an entirely new problem.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It actually came from a dream I
had. Totally bizarre, off the wall kind, but when I woke up I thought, “Okay,
what would happen if aliens came here to kidnap someone?” I was in school, at
the time and I decided to make Laira a student, so it made it easy for me to
really identify with her state of mind. Rakin and Dev showed up due to another
book I was plotting. The story revolved around two warriors buying a sex slave
at auction. So, I kind of mashed the stories together and ended up with Mated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laira is a regular, ever day
person. She doesn’t possess any special powers or skills. She works full-time
and goes to school part-time, just like a lot of people do. I wanted readers to
be able to identify with her, even though she’s in this totally crazy
situation. Rakin and Dev are warriors and the ultimate leaders of their people.
The Sandaki are a race that were created to fight, but managed to free
themselves. When the three of them meet, they really don’t know what to make of
each other. They know they belong together, but they don’t understand one
another. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next book I’m working on is
called Hard Time and it’s a straight contemporary romance. I think it will
release in February. After that I’m back to the Promises vampire series I
release through Resplendence Publishing. This book is called Broken Promise and
will feature Reaper and Quenton. As for my people in Mated, yes I will continue
that story since Laira wasn’t the only woman rescued from the slavers. Her
three best friends Chal, Garja, and Isha couldn’t go home so they will
certainly need stories.</span></div>

Cease has been writing ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen.
From the very beginning, her stories involved handsome heroes, tough
heroines, and happily ever after. Even as she slogged through two
undergraduate degrees and a master’s in education, writing remained top
priority. Though she now works full-time as a history museum educator,
she still makes time for her characters and their never-ending
adventures.</span></span></span></span></div>

Gwendolyn lives in Kentucky with her incredibly spoiled cats. If you’d
like to contact her, she’d love to hear from you. She loves to hear from
anyone who enjoys a good book, especially the ones she’s written. You

really have a typical day, but I have stuff I do EVERYDAY. So, obviously,
getting up. Yeah, don’t really like that one. I’m a night person. But the
morning is generally getting kids off to school, running/working out and
dealing with emails and other work stuff. Sometimes I write for a few hours,
then run, sometimes not. Afternoons are writing editing and creating cover art
or a combination of them, having kids come home then on to evening stuff. Could
be writing, hockey, aerial arts, meetings…so basically nothing exciting and I
have no life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

greatest accomplishment? </b>Do kids count as accomplishments? How about
staying sane? Not plotting to murder anyone? Other than that, I each new book

collect sexy, bare-chested men who will do my biding like minions. Yeah, that
one’s still in the works. Other than that, I seem to collect stray animals, but
don’t have any real collections, like stamps, or rocks. I’m IN a few book

like to learn?</b> Hell yes. Besides the fact I wish I could knit up
sweaters and scarves in the blink of an eye, I’d like to learn how to kick box.
And to do parkour. Don’t laugh. I know we’re going to need it for the upcoming

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Ricochet is a romantic suspense,
and having read it already, I can’t say enough good things about it!. Can you
tell us what inspired the story? And what draws you to the suspense/thriller

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inspiration—that fickle bitch
that seems to come and go as she pleases. Honestly, the beginning scene—Ash at
the gravesite, his entire life ruined by a chance bounce—just popped into my
head one day. And I knew I had to go from there. That he’d be broken by that
single moment and the book would be about him struggling to claw his way back.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Um, ok. Ash is a US Marshal—a
born protector. He’s got a great sense of humour and is sexy as sin. But he
experiences a gutting loss and this sends him on a downward spiral. He doesn’t
want to hurt Cassidy but can’t see past his own pain. Believes she’s better off
with the shell of a man he’s become. He likes to do things by the book because
he knows that shit happens when you break the rules. Though he’ll bend them if
necessary.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cassidy is strong. Determined.
She doesn’t let things beat her. She’s also caring and forgiving. I like strong
female leads and Cassidy has strength to spare. She’s quick on her feet and
doesn’t let Ash’s dominant side diminish her dominance.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My next book will most likely
be the second in my Tombstone series. It’s an old west shifter series where at
least one of the main characters in each book is a US Marshal… shocking, I
know. I also have CENTREFOLD re-releasing with Totally Bound. It’s now a
full-length novel and it’s definitely a suspense/thriller book. It’ll be out in
January. After that, I’ll finally have another vampire book out from my Dark
Prophecy series. It’s been a long time coming, lol.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And yes, I will be writing more
suspense novels, mostly because they are my favourite. My fallback. I have a
thriller planned for next fall at the very least and I’m sure another one
somewhere between.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What’s a typical day like for you?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> I don’t think I have a typical day. LOL I could desperately
use one, though. I think I could do with a bit of routine and organization in
my life. :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What do you consider your greatest
accomplishment?</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Oh wow, big question… I’d
have to say, personally, seeing my kids grow up to be responsible and caring
people (they’re not all the way there but making progress) and knowing I played
a bit of a role in that. Professionally? Writing and publishing the Albion’s
Circle series. It was a leap of faith on my part, to be sure. The story was
there and I so badly wanted to tell it but had so many doubts. I’d never
written New Adult, never written in first person, never written anything like
this at all. I had many, many moments of doubt and fears of falling short. So
finishing and releasing two of the series so far… Yeah, say that is my greatest
accomplishment professionally at this point.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Do you have any collections? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">LOL I just did a blog post about collections and realized
the only ones I really have are way too many pictures of Colin Morgan and
Bradley James.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Are there any skills you’d like to learn?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> I’d like to know how to knit. I can do basic knit and purl
stitches, and can make a square/rectangle. Yes, a square/rectangle. That’s it.
*sigh* I’d like to learn to knit more things because I love scarves (though I
can DO basic scarves w/knit and purl….it’s a long rectangle I can do that! But
you know different kinds would be nice), hats, sweaters, etc and would like to
be able to make them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What’s your favorite word?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Love. I know it’s a bit corny but someone saying “I love
you” or as an endearment… *sigh* I LOVE love.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to attempt?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> This was actually a hard one because I
love what I do and think it’s the greatest job EVAH. But if I had to choose,
I’d say literature professor. I love the written word and would want to share
that.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Bless those who do. I worked as a nursing assistant for a while and I burned
out quickly. Definitely not for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Coffee or tea?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> It
used to be coffee, but I’m definitely more of a tea drinker now. And my gut
thanks me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">City or country?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Oh hard one. I prefer the country until I need something in
the middle of the night and yearn for a 24/7 store. I like the convenience of
the city. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What do you like least? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">When life gets in the way. Sometimes, it’s unavoidable, but
sometimes, it’s a case of me needing to grow a pair and say no – and not feel
guilty about it. Writing is such a huge part of who I am that when I don’t, it
throws everything off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you were a song, which song would you be –
and why?<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Matchbox Twenty’s “Unwell”. It speaks to
me, I guess. I’ve dealt with depression in my life, and it’s taken me a long
time to accept that it doesn’t define who I am. And also the downs? They’re
temporary – “Stay a while and maybe then you’ll see a different side of me…”
And that was a whole lot deeper of a question than at first glance. O.o</span></span></span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In My Veins is the second installment of your Albion’s Circle series, and having read it already, I’m here to say it’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">freaking spectacular</i>. Can you tell us what inspired the series?</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">thank you</i>! I adore this series. I’ve always wanted to write something with Arthurian legend. I have mad, mad love for all things Arthurian. It’s just never happened until now. I had this inkling of an idea for a story—it all started with Anna. Her dreams, which she didn’t realize were memories from past lives, and how they affected her. The Arthurian stuff just layered in from there.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really, really wanted to write it, but as I mentioned above the whole thing scared me—it was totally outside my comfort zone. Then, I had the idea that maybe the three of us who do Merlin Club could do something with this. Merlin Club…stories inspired by Arthurian Legend…it fit, yeah? </span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And honestly it wasn’t intended to be a series, but as I got into book one, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Deepest Cut</i>, it became abundantly clear that this wasn’t a story that could be told in one book. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s no secret that I adored the first book in this series and I’m thrilled about this next installment, but for readers who haven’t read the first one yet, can you share a bit about Merlin, Anna and the Circle?</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Circle is a group of six. Three Magicals—Merlin, Morgana and Anna. Three non-Magicals—Arthur, Lancelot and Galahad. In their first life in Camelot, when Mordred became a threat to more than just the kingdom, the six came together and formed the Circle to defeat him. The catch was they would be brought back whenever magic threatens the world. They’ve been brought back many times, and the books focus on their current lives in modern times. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the original life, Merlin was cursed by Mordred to always feel the pain of losing Anna, to never find rest. So Merlin has spent every lifetime trying to save Anna and bring her back to the Circle. Until now, he’s failed, and that has had a profound effect on him. In this life, even when it seems like Anna is safe, the threat to her is always on Merlin’s mind, and he’ll do anything to eliminate that threat. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">

</div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anna is complicated. The dreams she’s had since she was a child scare her and push her to do some pretty self-destructive things. When Merlin finds her and she finds out the dreams are actually memories, Anna has to deal with that, deal with discovering her magic and deal with the current magical threat they’ve been brought back to face. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The third Albion’s Circle book, Edge of Darkness, will be out in February 2015. It will be following Anna and Merlin closely in their relationship as well as the big picture with Mordred and the threat he poses. This book will delve into Arthur more than the first two did—it’s great fun to get inside his head. There are some twists and turns in the next book, as well, but you’ll just have to wait for those. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anna is his. Merlin has failed. The Circle is broken. After being defeated in every lifetime, Mordred believes he’s finally won.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Even though Anna has little hope of gaining Merlin’s forgiveness for believing Mordred over him and the rest of the Circle, she isn’t giving up and vows to set things right. When an offer of help comes from an unlikely ally, Anna must trust her instincts—the very thing that got her into this mess in the first place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Because more than just her survival hangs in the balance. Mordred took her for a reason. Anna is the key. The key to completing the Circle. The key to preventing unthinkable death and destruction at Mordred’s hand. They key to destroying the heart of a wizard whose love has followed her through the ages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But Mordred has forgotten exactly what’s he’s up against—Arthur and his Knights. The most powerful Magical to ever walk the Earth. And a love a thousand years in the making. </span><br />

From the very beginning, her stories involved handsome heroes, tough heroines, and happily ever after. Even as she slogged through two undergraduate degrees and a master’s in education, writing remained top priority. Though she now works full-time as a history museum educator, she still makes time for her characters and their never-ending adventures.</span></b></b></b></div>

I appreciate it when other people do, but I'm not much of a decorator or party thrower. It's just not my bag. We decorate a little. And carve pumpkins - almost always with my sister, Cait. And bake cookies and pumpkin seeds.<br />
<br />
I do, however, love a good costume. And I love making a good costume. It's kind of like a puzzle as I try to get something to look as close to a cartoon or movie as I can in real life. Often, there's no real pattern - just a lot of eyeballing.<br />
<br />
But here are a few homemade costumes - at least the ones I had scanned already. For some reason, there are more pictures of Corwin in costume than Killian - mostly just the luck of the scan.<br />
<br />

Look! I'm the Mother of Dragon - Killian at about 2 years.<br />

"Days...weeks...months...years...who knows," says Eeyore Corwin. (6 mos)<br />

Bet you didn't know that Blue carried a ninja sword, huh? Corwin at about 2ish. <br />

The episode opens with Arthur finding a bunch of slaughtered
knights – including Sir Leon. Upset, he reports it to his father. But Sir Leon
isn’t dead. He’s only mostly dead. A group of druids find him and carry him
back to their cave (the same cave in every other episode because CAVE) where
they have a quick little ritual and completely heal him using the Cup of Life.<br />

Leon returns to Camelot and tells the tale of his miraculous
recovery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Uther immediately suspects
magic and gets surly. Gaius confirms that it was most likely The Cup of Life
that healed Leon, and Uther gets a bad case of grabby hands. He sends Arthur on
a dangerous mission to steal the cup from the druids because the druids’ cave
is in Cenred’s lands and if Cenred gets his hands on the cup, it’s all over for
our heroes. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Morgana smirkingly overhears
the plans and shares them with Morgause who orders Cenred to have his men steal
the cup from Arthur. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Arthur and Merlin set off on the dangerous mission (even
though Arthur won’t tell Merlin where they’re going) and they end up getting
caught by slavers and run into Gwaine in the holding pit. Arthur protects
Merlin when Merlin is ordered to fight the head slaver’s champion and is
ordered to fight the champion who happens to be Gwaine. Arthur and Gwaine
battle, trying to make it look real and Merlin manages to create a diversion
with fire and they escape.<br />

Meanwhile back at Camelot, Uther worries over Arthur’s
safety, but Morgana flirts and cajoles and flirts some more and convinces Uther
that everything is peachy. Uther flirts back and it’s all super gross.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They find the druid cave and Arthur threatens a young boy at
sword point (not cool, Arthur) offering to exchange the kid for the cup. The
druids are all very hippie-like and “Whatevs, man. All you had to do was ask
for the cup.” So they do the exchange and the head hippie tells Merlin in his
mind that now he’s in charge of keeping the cup safe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Predictably, Cenred’s men attack and shoot Arthur with a
poisoned arrow and Merlin, while trying to get the cup back, drops it into the
hands of one of Cenred’s soldiers. You know what would be a really good idea
here, Merlin? Magic. You know, maybe just levitate that cup right back up to
you? Arthur’s already out cold and Gwaine wouldn’t say shit. But, no. You just
let Cenred’s men take it on back to him. It’s cool.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once Morgause has the cup, she creates a ginormous, immortal
army using blood from each man present, and they head to Camelot. And she
proves their loyalty by having one of them off Cenred. Meanwhile, Arthur is
sick and feverish from the poison and as soon as Gwaine’s back is turned,
Merlin uses a spell to heal Arthur. When Arthur eventually wakes, they head
back to Camelot to find it burning. They find Gwen’s brother, Elian, and they
all sneak into the castle.<br />

Merlin and Arthur make it to
the gallery of the throne room as Uther is forced to kneel before Morgana who’s
being crowned Queen of Camelot and Morgana makes sure Uther knows that she
knows that she’s his daughter. Uther looks broken, but poor Arthur, he looks
absolutely crushed. Even though he didn’t always agree with his father, he
still idolized him. No longer. But I digress.<br />

They go to find Gaius.
Merlin packs all of his shit including the bottle of the water from the Lake of
Avalon that the Fisher King gave him and they meet up with Gwaine and Elian and
get the fuck out of Camelot. They hole up in the same (from the looks of it)
cave the druids were using, and Merlin sends a message to Lancelot, begging him
to come help. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
That night, Merlin tries to
use the water from Avalon for guidance, but nothing is working, and he falls
asleep. He startles awake when Gwaine has to pee and the bottle breaks. He
panics thinking all is lost, but the water flows into a natural rock basin and
he sees Freya. She’s speaking to him from beyond and tells him he needs
Excalibur, so he sneaks out, calls the dragon and they ride to the Lake of
Avalon where he hid the sword the last time. Freya’s arm rises up out of the
water and she returns the sword to him. The Dragon warns him to put the sword somewhere it can't be used by anyone when he's done with it. <br />

Meanwhile, Morgana is busy
taunting Uther and tantruming because the knights of Camelot won’t yield and
without their allegiance, neither will the people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She brings the knights into the courtyard and
asks for their loyalty again, and when they don’t comply, she has Cenred’s

Gwen, who’s still Morgana’s
handmaid, offers to talk to Sir Leon, explaining that they knew each other as
children and perhaps she can talk some sense into him. She tells him she’s
going to help him escape. Morgana and Morgause are listening through the grate
above Leon’s cell and know what’s up. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
Morgana gives Gwen some wine
that has a magic powder in it and Gwen sneaks into Morgause’s room and presses
the dungeon key into a piece of bread and melts metal and pours it into the
bread mold to make a key. Because she’s fucking resourceful, our Gwen. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
She sneaks Leon the key, and
he busts out meeting her at her home in the village. She insists that he dress
in drag to escape and they head off into the woods searching for Arthur.
Morgause is able to track them, because that magic powder Gwen drank was magic
GPS powder. Which is pretty freaking handy.<br />

She’s briefly reunited with
Arthur right before Lancelot and his buddy Percival arrive. Percival has no
sleeves on his chainmail. This makes me insane.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(In a bad way.) Soon after everyone says hello, they’re set upon by
Morgause’s men. A fight ensues and Merlin magics some boulders down a cliff
separating them from their pursuers. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: center 3.25in;">
They take refuge in some
ruins and find the Round Table. Arthur has them sit around it and includes Gwen
and Merlin which is spectacularly progressive of him. And then he knights Lancelot, Elian,
Gwaine and Percival. They all sneak back to Camelot with a plan. But they leave
Gwen and Gaius behind.<br />

Merlin knows he needs to
dump the blood from the Cup of Life to break the spell and kill the immortal
army. He and Lancelot (under the guise of making the bell unusable so the enemy
can’t communicate)go off in search of the cup while Arthur and the rest go to
free the rest of the knights. Merlin discovers that Excalibur, does in fact,
kill the undead. </div>

Meanwhile, Arthur and the

looking good for our heroes. Uther is practically catatonic and wouldn’t

Merlin and Lancelot continue
to fight their way to the cup. They’re almost there when Morgause busts in and
throws them against the wall. She’s about to kills them when Gaius shows up all
wild eyed and crazy and busts some moves on Morgause throwing her against a
pillar and rendering her unconscious. Merlin picks up Excalibur and tips over
the cup over, splashing the blood everywhere and all the knights explode and
disappear.<br />

Arthur knighting the non-noble knights, Merlin seeing Freya in the water, Freya raising Excalibur from the bottom of the Lake of Avalon, Merlin driving Excalibur into the stone and my personal favorite, "No. Don't really fancy it."

<b>Hated: </b>Besides the incest awfulness, Arthur's heartbreak at Morgana's betrayal and the realization that his lied to him and wasn't the man he'd believed him to be is just crushing. Bradley James played it so well.

Have any weird encounters?Do I believe in ghosts? That's the question. While I think a lot of stories are made up for various reasons, I do believe some of the encounters are true. Other than a brief flash a couple times, I've never really seen anything. My sister, Cait, on the other hand, sees all kinds of things.<br />
<br />
One of the most memorable was when we were singing at our Grandpa's funeral. I think we were partway into the second verse of Amazing Grace when Cait grabbed my hand and started squeezing. Hard. I swear I had ring marks in my fingers for days. But I managed not to yelp, and we continued singing while her eyes kept darting toward the pews in front of us. <br />
<br />
After we sat back down, I asked her what was wrong. She told me that she'd seen our grandparents sitting in one in the fourth pew back - Grandma had died thirteen years earlier. And she was holding a baby. I assumed it must have been either our cousin who'd been stillborn, or our nephew who'd died as an infant seven years earlier. <br />
<br />
Cait said that she was sure it wasn't. The baby Grandma had been holding was one she didn't recognize, and she was sure that somehow, this was a baby who hadn't been born yet. A few weeks later, we found out our cousin, Sarah, was pregnant. And in August, she had a little boy that looked exactly like the baby Cait had seen our Grandma holding.<br />
<br />
It didn't freak us out at all. Instead, it was a comfort and my cousin said that Grandma was probably holding her son because it was the only way he'd stop crying. That kid was a screamer as a baby. :D<br />
<br />

Seriously, Camelot!? What the Hell with the Tournaments!?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Atz6pJhcIwQ/Uv1kZX0B2fI/AAAAAAAAEfA/0Za8bZl1Eh8/s1600/Mommy%27s%2Bbanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Atz6pJhcIwQ/Uv1kZX0B2fI/AAAAAAAAEfA/0Za8bZl1Eh8/s1600/Mommy%27s%2Bbanner.jpg" height="284" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Ohhhhhh, for the love of god...do the tournaments in Camelot never end? Seriously...her a tournament, there a tournament, everywhere a tournament. Sorry...I got carried away. This may already be obvious, but this isn't one of my favorite episodes. <br />
<br />
Any way, the show opens with Dudley Dursley - okay, fine, Gilli (but he'll always be Dudley to me) is walking to Camelot with a sword strapped to his back. Two thugs, who just happen to be hanging out in the woods...like you do, taunt him and steal his sword.Angry and frustrated, Dudley continues on to Camelot anyway. Because there's a tournament. Again. Another. Fucking. Tournament.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--a57-XCR8tw/VEB_T8F5tbI/AAAAAAAAFMI/1t_AWLJEM1w/s1600/MC%2B-%2BDudders.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--a57-XCR8tw/VEB_T8F5tbI/AAAAAAAAFMI/1t_AWLJEM1w/s1600/MC%2B-%2BDudders.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
But anyway, it's a no holds barred tournament, anyone can compete, no rules, blah blah medieval big time wrestling blah.<br />
<br />
Morgana (knowing full well Uther is her father) flirts shamelessly with him and goads him into competing and honestly the whole conversation seems like one big euphamism for sex - sort of a a, well...if you can't get it up...kinda thing. And Uther, (knowing full well Morgana is his daughter) flirts back and allows himself to be goaded. It's super gross. But, you know, Morgana is hoping Uther will die in combat because he can't get it up anymore.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X0krga5AzoU/VEB_6fvvu_I/AAAAAAAAFMQ/yCDD9FrYLlM/s1600/MC-%2Bgross%2Bflirting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X0krga5AzoU/VEB_6fvvu_I/AAAAAAAAFMQ/yCDD9FrYLlM/s1600/MC-%2Bgross%2Bflirting.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So now, the King and Prince of Camelot are competing and so is Dudley Dursley. What could possibly go wrong?<br />
<br />
The thugs who stole Dudley's sword are being aggressive toward Merlin and Dudley rescues him - using magic - oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhh. Merlin of course goes to tell Gaius all about it. Later after some ill timed magical healing, Dudders loses his magical ring as he's running away and hiding from Camelot's guard. Gaius finds the ring and pockets it before Uther sees it while investigating the suspected magic use.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTHlhRaNQNE/VECABgbKDzI/AAAAAAAAFMY/YwVzACpyBR4/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bmagic%2Bring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aTHlhRaNQNE/VECABgbKDzI/AAAAAAAAFMY/YwVzACpyBR4/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bmagic%2Bring.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Uther also cleverly decides that the scorched wood that he sees is proof positive that magic has been used. There you have it folks, charred wood is indicative of magic. So should you see charred wood anywhere in your travels, know that magic has indeed been used and persecute accordingly.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Merlin returns the ring to Dudley and warns him to be careful. Dudley just whines about how he wants respect and he's not gonna be a wuss like his father was - the person he inherited the magic ring from.<br />
<br />
Episode trudges endlessly on with battle after battle. No...I mean <i>endlessly.</i> Dudley wins every match using magic, progresses up the ranks until he has the respect and adoration he's always dreamed of. He even ends up killing one of the thugs. He's getting totally out of control and decides that he's going to go up against Uther and strike a blow for magic users everywhere.<br />
<br />
Aaaaaaand he can do this because when Arthur fought Uther, he threw the fight so as not to embarrass the king. And Uther, per usual, is a total dick about it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVjckyFBM-4/VECBivMyMEI/AAAAAAAAFNA/-3xznIj64IQ/s1600/MC-%2BArthur%2Bthrows%2Bthe%2Bfight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AVjckyFBM-4/VECBivMyMEI/AAAAAAAAFNA/-3xznIj64IQ/s1600/MC-%2BArthur%2Bthrows%2Bthe%2Bfight.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Long story short, Dudley almost has Uther, he's ready to kill him, but Merlin gives Uther a little magical assistance because if Uther dies at the hands of a magic user, Arthur will never allow magic back into Camelot when he's king - so says the dragon that Merlin called with his Dragon Lord voice that drop Jess' panties in 1.5 seconds.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fUGkLWLOSxs/VECAOe7OFTI/AAAAAAAAFMg/LBtxEWaatY8/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bnearly%2Bkills%2BUther.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fUGkLWLOSxs/VECAOe7OFTI/AAAAAAAAFMg/LBtxEWaatY8/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bnearly%2Bkills%2BUther.jpg" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So Uther beats Dudley and lets him live. Morgana is frustrated and furious that neither her father nor brother died. (Thwarted again!) And Uther confesses that he knows that Arthur threw the fight and *that's* the sign to Uther that Arthur will make a super awesome king. Oh, and Merlin has one last heart to heart with Dudders before he leaves Camelot for good.<br />

Charlie Bradbury – played by Felicia Day in Supernatural.
Part of it is that I just fucking love Felicia Day. No really. Adore her. And
Charlie – Charlie is a brilliant computer hacker, LARPer, and all around
badass. I love that she’s a strong character with her own set of moral
guidelines. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Massive crush. Plus she’s
adorable.</div>

Neil Elwood – hero of The Boss series by Abigail Barnette
aka Jenny Trout. Normally, I *hate* the bazillionaire trope in romance novels.
I hate it just as much as I hate cowboys, ranchers and sheiks. They’re just not
my bag. At all. However, Neil turns every bazillionaire boss stereotype on its
head. He’s not a douchey asshole. He’s funny, smart, sexy as fuck and
wait…what’s this? Genuinely kind? All while being a savvy business man. Now,
Neil is not without flaws. But that’s what I love about him. He’s not a
cardboard stock character. He’s a real human being that I could never speak to
because I would be a stuttering idiot in the corner. Did I mention he’s
British? And also looks like Buffy era Anthony Stewart Head? And likes to
spank? And…do other things? There you go. Tie - er...sign me up.</div>

Will Graham from the TV series Hannibal. Dear lord. I have
no idea if TV Will is like book Will because I haven’t read them. Someday… But (and
yes, I *know* how dysfunctional this is) there’s something about broken
characters that call to me. Maybe it’s the “fixer” in me that wants to take
them home and make everything better for them. There’s something about razor
sharp intelligence and unwavering intensity combined with vulnerability that
gets me every time. Also? Hugh Dancy. </div>

Galahad<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- from…everywhere
in Arthurian legend. Okay, I really love this character. He’s always trying to
do the right thing and he’s always being beaten the hell down. Yeah, I know.
Dysfunctional. That’s me. But the thing is about Galahad is that he never stops
trying. He might be clawing his way across a battlefield, bleeding and broken,
but he’s not going to stop until his quest is completed. Nowhere is this more
apparent than in Jess Jarman’s Albion’s Circle series. Her Galahad is, by far,
my favorite. He’s been beaten down life after life, hiding who he is and
sacrificing everything. Even though he’s damn near broken, he will not give up.
Although, I think he sometimes wants to. But that’s part of the beauty of
Galahad. He’ll keep going forever because he’s always going to do what’s right.
Even if it kills him in the end. (This isn't Galahad...but I do so love the cover of this book.)</div>

Jareth the Goblin King from the movie Labyrinth. It’s no
secret that I love Labyrinth. LOVE IT. To the point that it’s one of my top
five favorite movies. It has been for like thirty years – I don’t see this
changing. And I adore David Bowie’s portrayal of the Goblin King. Yes, he wants
to turn babies into Goblins. Yes, he wants Sarah to fear and worship him. But
you know what he wants most of all? Love. Jareth is broken. Probably a little
crazy. And if I’m utterly honest with myself and you all, definitely
emotionally abusive. But you guys…it’s Jareth. I can’t help but love him in all

<b>Blurb</b>: <span>Chrissy Lorcan has
lived with werewolves her entire life. Detective Landen Sutherlund has
only recently discovered their existence. Will a weekend at the lake be
enough for her to teach him how to deal with the wolf inside, or will
secrets and sexual tension break them?<br /></span></div>
<span><b>Excerpt</b>:</span><br /><span><span>
</span></span><div style="margin-left: 40px;">
<span><span><div class="MsoNormal">
"Stay for dinner," he demanded, his hips pressing into hers.
The contact made Chrissy breathless and her cheeks flushed. Landen pulled away
and became overly careful again. Walking to the oven, he removed the remains of
his dinner.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"You'll need to leave right after," he grunted. It stung a
little, but Chrissy's feelings were eased at the flustered look on the
detective's face. His eyes drifted closed and his forehead creased in worry
before he added, "I want to make sure you get home safe."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"It's sweet of you to be so protective, Landen, but I grew
up around here," Chrissy said, pulling a corkscrew out of the drawer and
opening the wine with a satisfyingly audible pop. "Nothing in these woods is
going to harm me."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"You don't know that." His tone was as tight as the line of
his lips as he accented the statement by slamming the oven door.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Deciding it was time to stop dancing around the topic,
Chrissy poured herself a glass and downed half of it. Then she refilled it and
set it down with a clink that made Landen turn. She could tell he wasn't
prepared to find her in front of him, pressing a single finger directly into
his chest. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Nothing is going to hurt me, Landen. Nothing. That includes
you, so stop treating me like I'm breakable, and actually listen to me for
thirty seconds."</div>
</span></span><span><span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
His eyes widened at her unexpected forcefulness. "You
don't—"</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Yes, actually I do," she cut him off. "It's exactly two
hours and twenty-three minutes until sundown and moonrise is maybe ten minutes
after. You got some time, so why don't you tell me how long you've had
lycanthropy."</div>

<br />
I'm so sorry guys - this is going to be a super short post because it's late, and I'm trying to outrun a migraine.<br />
<br />
Blergh.<br />
<br />
But this weeks episode is fueled by paranoia and douchebaggary.<br />
<br />
Morgana flips shit because she has a dream about Arthur crowning Gwen queen. Morgana cries to Morgause and Morgause tells her it was a true dream and to fix this crap.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--jW5MpGSLA8/VDdEbcZzl3I/AAAAAAAAFJY/3I81EbF498s/s1600/MC%2B-%2BMorgana%27s%2BDream.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--jW5MpGSLA8/VDdEbcZzl3I/AAAAAAAAFJY/3I81EbF498s/s1600/MC%2B-%2BMorgana's%2BDream.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Morgana decides to play evil matchmaker between Arthur and Gwen - encouraging them to get together. So Arthur invites Gwen on a romantic picnic and Gwen agrees once Merlin convinces her that it's a great idea.<br />
<br />
<br />
And this happens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MipRk9bpZc/VDdE5v1JujI/AAAAAAAAFJg/0Fn9gLH44x8/s1600/MC%2B-%2BArthur%2Band%2BGwen%2Bpicnic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5MipRk9bpZc/VDdE5v1JujI/AAAAAAAAFJg/0Fn9gLH44x8/s1600/MC%2B-%2BArthur%2Band%2BGwen%2Bpicnic.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
And also this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1IL7bjv8_2w/VDdFBIXy-XI/AAAAAAAAFJo/iWxGtnxRdC8/s1600/MC%2B-%2BArthur%2Band%2BGwen%2Bkiss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1IL7bjv8_2w/VDdFBIXy-XI/AAAAAAAAFJo/iWxGtnxRdC8/s1600/MC%2B-%2BArthur%2Band%2BGwen%2Bkiss.jpg" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
Unfortunately, before anyone can have too much fun, Morgana convinces Uther that they haven't spent nearly enough time together and wheedles until he agrees to go for a ride.<br />
<br />
So this happens, too.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MB5ms5HWBgw/VDdFXkW-b3I/AAAAAAAAFJw/TnetK-gJz3U/s1600/MC%2B-%2BUther%2Band%2BMorgana%2Bsee%2BArthur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MB5ms5HWBgw/VDdFXkW-b3I/AAAAAAAAFJw/TnetK-gJz3U/s1600/MC%2B-%2BUther%2Band%2BMorgana%2Bsee%2BArthur.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
And also, this bit of awkwardness.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m8clHZyqoG0/VDdGwOdvZlI/AAAAAAAAFJ4/Jwke452zELA/s1600/MC%2B-%2Baftermath.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m8clHZyqoG0/VDdGwOdvZlI/AAAAAAAAFJ4/Jwke452zELA/s1600/MC%2B-%2Baftermath.gif" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
Back at Camelot, Arthur thinks that Uther is going to ream him out for kissing Gwen, but Uther congratulates him instead. He thinks that Arthur is getting laid by the staff and is all kinds of proud, because that's the kind of douchebag he is. I'm paraphrasing, but it's basically, "Good job getting that servant ass, son! Servants exist to make our lives easier and our dicks happy." Then he tells Arthur to end it with Gwen. Arthur isn't having it and tells his father that he's in love with Gwen. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WJMOdzP2r50/VDdH5ddduWI/AAAAAAAAFKA/0Q_K96ZnA1E/s1600/MC%2B-%2BUther%2Band%2BArthur%2Bargue.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WJMOdzP2r50/VDdH5ddduWI/AAAAAAAAFKA/0Q_K96ZnA1E/s1600/MC%2B-%2BUther%2Band%2BArthur%2Bargue.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Morgana later suggests to Uther that Arthur must be enchanted to have fallen in love with a serving girl. Uther sees the inherent wisdom in this, and with cries of, "Sorcery!" has Arthur's room searched where the knights find a suspicious poultice. <br />
<br />
Uther asks Gaius if the little hex bag looks magical and if it could be used to enchant someone. Cand Gaius, dumbass that he is, says yes, knowing what's at stake. Gwen is accused of sorcery and thrown into the dungeon to be burned at the stake the next morning.<br />
<br />
Merlin comes up with the plan of providing another sorcerer on which the blame can fall, thus clearing Gwen. So he uses a spell to age himself - becoming Dragoon. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o0Mih5nRBpQ/VDdJEjOH28I/AAAAAAAAFKI/2rYQOh5laPM/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bold%2BMerlin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o0Mih5nRBpQ/VDdJEjOH28I/AAAAAAAAFKI/2rYQOh5laPM/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bold%2BMerlin.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
So he makes his presence known in Camelot and unfortunately, can't reverse the spell on his own and gets caught. He admits to enchanting Arthur and he's now sentenced to burn in the morning. Meanwhile, Arthur is looking for Merlin and Gaius helpfully tells Arthur that Merlin is in the tavern.<br />
<br />
Gaius uses his magical chemistry skills and stays up all night creating an antidote. As Dragoon is being led to the stake, Gaius motions that he's got the antidote, so Merlin creates a diversion by yelling at Uther and then escaping his guards, grabbing the potion from Gaius and distracting the crowd by using magic to make the stake and all the wood erupt in a huge fireball.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s2-ERJkW4DM/VDdKkPXsjMI/AAAAAAAAFKU/gIJHo7M6WgQ/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bmagic%2Bold%2BMerlin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-s2-ERJkW4DM/VDdKkPXsjMI/AAAAAAAAFKU/gIJHo7M6WgQ/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bmagic%2Bold%2BMerlin.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
He escapes into the castle, drinks the potion and turns back into himself right before Arthur finds him and demands to know where the sorcerer went and why Merlin was at the tavern. There's also a threat of punishment before Arthur tries to track down Dragoon.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A8uMYw6p8i0/VDdK7gIgDcI/AAAAAAAAFKc/8DaS3WxKbCo/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bpost%2Btavern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A8uMYw6p8i0/VDdK7gIgDcI/AAAAAAAAFKc/8DaS3WxKbCo/s1600/MC%2B-%2Bpost%2Btavern.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
Later we see Arthur pull Gwen into an alcove and promise that they'll be together someday and we see Merlin covered with horseshit from his punishment of mucking out the stables. <br />

Something you’ve never noticed about
this episode before. How creepy the vibe is between Morgana and Uther when she's begging him to go riding with her. It's this weird little girlish begging and he's sort of indulging her like he would a mistress. It just sat wrong with me.</span></div>

And, I didn't really realize how many I had...until I started wandering around the house taking pictures. I'm not even including the fabric or yarn, because, well, this shit is already out of control - as evidenced from the following pictures.<br />
<br />
First off, there's my vintage tea set. I've always loved Cottageware - my Gram had a set that I adored. But I fell in love with this PriceKensington pattern, and I've been slowly collecting it. It's nowhere near complete, but it's getting there. I've found a bunch of pieces in antique stores in the U.P., and my very awesome friend, Kim, has sent me several pieces from shops in Wales. Which, coincidentally, is where my Gram's set came from.<br />
<br />

<br />
Rocks. I know...it seems like a silly collection, but I really love rocks. I was always that kid who came home with pockets full of rocks. I'm still that kid. Everywhere I go, I pick up rocks. My friends bring me rocks home from their travels. My kids pick up pretty stones for me.These are just a <i>small</i> sampling. Read: places in my house where I didn't have to clean in order to take pictures. <br />
<br />

I'm a fan of driftwood, too. As you can probably see.<br />
<br />
I also collect books on Arthurian Legend. Other than the complete works of Chaucer and Shakespeare, this is all Arthurian stuff in this bookcase. Oh, look...more rocks. <br />
<br />

<br />
And fairy tales! I freaking love fairy tales. I've got stories from tons of different cultures - both modern and traditional stories. Brand new books and antiques. I love them all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Okay...what else...oh! Skeleton keys. I adore them. I've been collecting them ever since my Gram gave me the skeleton key to her house. Sometimes, I even wear them as necklaces. I don't have these displayed anywhere. But, I'm thinking of making a mobile with some of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Charms - these are all in one, chunky dangerous place. This bracelet doubles as a weapon. But it's also a collection of memories. Each charm has a specific meaning and memory that accompanies it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Okay, so that's pretty much it for my collections. I can't wait to see what kind of stuff the other bloggers have! Because I'm nosy. Click their names along with me and we'll all find out what they're hoarding. :D<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Laira Marshall had to admit—getting kidnapped wasn’t something she’d expected. Discovering her kidnappers were aliens who planned on selling her into sexual slavery, definitely tipped the scales into the truly bizarre. But she’s determined to fight her way through this—until their slave ship is attacked, and Laira’s faced with an entirely new problem.</span></div>

Using their enhanced traits, they’ve freed their people and have devoted their lives to seeking out those who enslaved them. They never considered the concept of love—or that one woman could bring them to their knees.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Gwendolyn Cease has been writing ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen. From the very beginning, her stories involved handsome heroes, tough heroines, and happily ever after. Even as she slogged through two undergraduate degrees and a master’s in education, writing remained top priority. Though she now works full-time as a history museum educator, she still makes time for her characters and their never-ending adventures.</span></div>

Though she supposes if they had...insert evil laugh.</span></span></div>

Okay, so in this episode, we have Gaius’ old flame, Alice,
returning to Camelot and setting up shop as a healer. Uther gets wind of these
miraculous healings and flips ship because the peasants<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> aren’t</i> dying when clearly they should be. So obviously magic <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">must </i>be involved. Okay, in this case, he’s
totally right, but whatever. Uther demands that the magic user be found, but Gaius
covers for her, lying to Uther and saying it was just the skillful use of herbs. </div>

As it turns out, Alice is in league with a Manticore (think
reptilian cat with the tail of a scorpion and the face of a particularly ugly
baby – with those wing things around its face) who wants Uther dead. (Get in
line, creepy little reptile scorpion cat!) Alice doesn’t mind killing Uther,
but she doesn’t want Gaius framed, but she’s under the thrall of the creature,
so whatcha gonna do?</div>

So Alice moves in with Gaius (to make it easier for Merlin
to creep on her) who kicks Merlin out of his room, and in the course of his
creeping, he sees Alice um…milking the Manitcore’s tail for its venom. I can’t
begin to tell you how disturbing this scene is. We’re talking orgasm face and
sex noises on the part of the Manticore. This is *not* okay, people. </div>

But anyway, Merlin sees this and deduces that Alice is up to
no good. He warns Gaius, but Gaius refuses to believe it. Merlin shows him the
creature’s box under Alice’s bed, but of course it’s empty as the Manicore has
gone back to its regular hell dimension. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Merlin also researches the creature in Geoffrey’s
books. (Seriously, does that dude just live in the library?)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Meanwhile, Alice, under the guise of helping Gaius, poisons
Uther’s daily medicine and he falls gravely ill. In fact, he’s dying. Huzzah!
Not so fast, gentle viewers. Arthur deduces that the only thing it could be is
the potion Gaius had given to Uther. But Merlin saves the day by blaming Alice
and she goes to the dungeon while Gaius frantically tries to save Uther’s life. </div>

When Gaius visits her later, he realizes she’s under the
thrall of the Manicore and he and Merlin figure out how to destroy the beast to
free Alice from its clutches and cure Uther. So they summon the creepy little
reptile scorpion cat and prevent it from returning it to its hell dimension and
destroy it. </div>

After Uther recovers, he decides that Alice must still die

low and behold, the escaped prisoner bells ring because Camelot’s dungeon is

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Anna is his. Merlin has failed. The Circle is broken. After being defeated in every lifetime, Mordred believes he’s finally won.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Even though Anna has little hope of gaining Merlin’s forgiveness for believing Mordred over him and the rest of the Circle, she isn’t giving up and vows to set things right. When an offer of help comes from an unlikely ally, Anna must trust her instincts—the very thing that got her into this mess in the first place.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because more than just her survival hangs in the balance. Mordred took her for a reason. Anna is the key. The key to completing the Circle. The key to preventing unthinkable death and destruction at Mordred’s hand. They key to destroying the heart of a wizard whose love has followed her through the ages.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But Mordred has forgotten exactly what’s he’s up against—Arthur and his Knights. The most powerful Magical to ever walk the Earth. And a love a thousand years in the making. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Jessica Jarman is an author, blogger, and rather obsessive fangirl. Having grown up in Upper Michigan and currently living in Minnesota, she is a Midwestern girl through and through. And wouldn’t have it any other way.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.6666660308838px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When she’s not working to get words on the page, Jessica passes the time with her amazing husband and four children, attempting to be crafty (and failing miserably), squeeing uncontrollably over her favorite shows or curling up with a good book.</span></span><br />

Okay, so Arthur goes on what’s basically a vision quest so
he can figure out what quest he has to fulfill in order to be worthy of succeeding
Uther. After spending the night on his knees he knows that he has to travel
through the Perilous Lands to the kingdom of the Fisher King and retrieve his
trident all by his lonesome as proof that he’s awesome and king-worthy. </div>

So Gaius tells Merlin that it’s super dangerous for Arthur
to do this. That no one has emerged from the Perilous Lands alive. Merlin
decides that even though Arthur is supposed to perform the quest alone, he’s
going to follow him. </div>

That night, Morgana casts her spell on the bracelet and
gives it to Arthur in the morning. He blithely rides to the border of Perilous
Lands. In order to enter them, he has to cross a bridge and the bridge keeper
is WILLOW!!! Anyway, Willow, who’s called something else in this episode, tells
him that he’s courage, but he’ll need strength and magic in order to fulfill
his quest. Arthur, rather disdainfully, tells him that he doesn’t condone the
use of magic. And Willow tells him to suck it up, the rules are different here. </div>

So Arthur crosses the rickety bridge and enters a barren wasteland.
The magically enchanted bracelet of doom is sapping his strength and he nearly
drowns in quicksand just like Artax in The Sad Horse Movie aka The Neverending

Merlin hits up every tavern until he finds what he’s looking

Arthur is all pissed because he’s supposed to be doing this

Arthur is prissier because Gwaine is there too. They all set off to find the

separated from them and locked in the throne room. </div>

As it turns out, the Fisher King was a live and had been for
centuries. It seems he was waiting for Merlin so he could give Merlin some
water from the Lake of Avalon. But doesn’t tell him how to use it, just says
something cryptic about it. Then tells Merlin he owes him a gift. And of course,
that gift is death. He puts the cursed bracelet on the king, and the man blows
away into magical dust and Arthur and Gwaine are finally able to enter the
room.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2. The thing I loved/hated most about
this episode. <b>Loved </b>seeing Willow. Or you know, whatever his name was in here. <b>Hated </b>the really obvious diversion from Arthur's normal character. Okay, Arthur can be a total dick. No question. But in the end, he always pulls through and does the right thing. Even if it's uncomfortable for him and causes other problems. He does this stuff because it's the right thing to do. But at the end of this, he's totally down with lying about having completed his quest alone and unaided. And from the dialogue between him and Merlin, it's not because he's trying to protect Merlin or Gwaine. He's not owning up so he can be done with his quest and move on. This is very unlike that Arthur we've come to know over the last two and a half seasons. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">3. Something you’ve never noticed about
this episode before. How it seems like Merlin should have known what wyverns were since they're all dragon related and he's a Dragon Lord. Now, Jess did point out that the previous Dragon Lord died before imparting a whole lot of info to Merlin, but so much of his DL skills were instinctive, it seems that this should have been, too. </span></div>

This book contains a geeky, secretly insecure but overly cocky handy-man with a
penchant for pleasing, a dominatrix in training who’s on the rebound, and enough
smut to strip a couple layers off your soul. Plus there’s mac n’ cheese with a
smattering of self-actualization for good measure. </span></i></div>

Chloe Barrons’ fiancé cheats on her via webcam, she begrudgingly accepts her
Type-A mother’s offer of a spur of the moment luxury spa weekend. But things
don’t play out quite from point A to point B when she arrives drunk and
disoriented on the front porch of a deserted North Carolina beach house. From
the very start she’s caught off guard by Noah Knightly, a sinfully sexy,
self-proclaimed committment-phobe who’s a handyman for his sister’s relationship
rehabilitation center—a rehab where Chloe is the sole guest during off-season. </span></div>

to fix up the beach house, he throws all his sister’s rules out the window. Soon

more of his cocky façade bringing down his guards to reveal a stuttering geek who
has a hidden will to please her in any way possible.</span></div>

Bio: Elise Hepner lives with two spastic
cats and a very supportive, slightly crazy husband. There is never a dull
moment in the house, unless the caffeine runs out, which it never does. She's a
multi-published erotica author with Cleis Press, Ellora's Cave, Xcite, and
Secret Cravings Publishing.<br />
<div class="Body" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Body" style="text-indent: .5in;">
She's driven by her tea addiction and a
tiny stuffed turtle her husband picked up from Disney World that sits on her
desk and "supervises" her work.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";">

<div style="background: white; line-height: 13.65pt; margin-bottom: 7.5pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
When not writing (which is rare), she's
watching countless hours of reality television, playing the Sims or shopping
online. Plus there's that odd obsession with the color purple. Everything is
purple. Visit Elise at her website www.elisehepner.com to keep up with her
naughty ramblings, random tidbits and future work.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
This week, we're blogging about stuff that makes us happy. I have a feeling this is going to be a super random list because
a lot of things make me happy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In no
particular order at all, here they are…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hugs from my kids.</b>
They never fail to make me happy. Even if I’m in a bad mood. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Actually, hugs in
general.</b> I’m a touchy feely person and physical contact (with people I’m
comfortable with) makes me happy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Waves on the shore.</b>
I love the sound of waves. I prefer the waves of Lake Superior, but I’ll be
honest. Any waves will do. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thunderstorms.</b> As
long as they don’t venture into tornado territory, they give me warm fuzzies. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">My family.</b> I
seriously won the family lottery. I am crazy about my family. Yes, sometimes we
piss each other off, but we’re always there for each other. Even when we’re
pissed. They’re all hilariously funny, smart and compassionate. My mama mommed
us well. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Rocks.</b> Yeah, I
know. That sounds dumb. But whatevs. Rocks make me happy. I love to hold them,
look at them, climb them, know that they were here millions of years before me
and will be here millions of years after I’m gone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Yarn, fabric and clay.</b>
There is nothing that appeals to me like the tactile experience of fiber and well, mud, and knowing that if I want to, I can make something out of it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Kindness.</b> Not
just people being kind to me or people I care about, but people being kind in
general. Genuine kindness, though – not the fake bullshit of people being kind
because they think they’re going to get something out of it. This world is so full
of anger and hate, and some days, it feels like there’s not enough kindness to
go around. But then I see little acts of kindness here and there and I feel
like there’s hope. And it makes me happy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Music.</b> Music that
I love makes me happy. In fact, music is so powerful, that I have a depression
playlist that I listen to when I’m starting to feel down. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Friends.</b> I have
the most amazing friends on the planet. I can’t even believe how damn lucky I
am, and they make me happy beyond belief. They get me in all my quirky glory,
and I know that I can trust them with anything. I know that no matter what,
these are the people that will always be there for me, and I’ll always be there
for them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cats.</b> I know. I
have issues. But cats make me irrationally happy. Unless I’m steeping in cat
puke at three am.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Baby animals of all
kinds.</b> I’m s sucker for the squee factor. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Baby belly laughs.</b>
There’s something about a baby laughing that just lifts my spirits no matter
what. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Nature.</b> I love Living
in a place that has all four seasons (even though the snow sometimes makes me
want to weep) and the changes are so dramatic and beautiful. Walking through
forests, sitting by a lake or river or stream, listening to the wind and rain,
watching the snow fall and the leaves change, all of it makes me happy. That is
a lie. Ragweed and cottonwood most assuredly do *not* make me happy. But I’m
good with everything else. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Writing.</b> I love
creating and having an outlet for all the stories floating around my head. Getting
them out on paper makes me happy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Reading.</b>
Exploring other worlds and lives makes me happy, too. And sometimes sad,
depending on the book, but that’s okay. I’m happy when I’m invested enough in
an author’s words to feel something.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Writing Retreats</b>. I love spending a week with my writing retreat girls - there's nothing better than laughing 'til you hurt and writing a ton. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lake Superior</b>. I
know I already mentioned waves and nature, but Lake Superior makes me insanely
happy. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

This episode opens with Gwen dousing the candles in Morgana’s
room and leaving for the night, and as she does, we see Morgana smirk – the first
in what proves a smirk-heavy episode. Gwen returns to her own home outside the
castle where she’s knocked unconscious with some kind of herbal ether and
brought to Morgause and Cenred at Castle Fyrien. Once there, she discovers that
they’ve also captured her mostly ne’er do well brother, Elyan.<br />

Morgana worries aloud that Gwen didn’t show up for work that
day and Uther tells her not to worry, that he’ll get her a new servant. Arthur
and Merlin immediately freak out and begin looking for her. Merlin finds the
cloth used to drug Gwen and brings it back to Arthur who smells it and
immediately passes out.<br />

Cenred tells Gwen, while Morgause watches from the shadows,
that unless Gwen brings Arthur back to the castle, using any means necessary,
Cenred will kill Elyan. Gwen is returned to Camelot and shows up to work the
next day and lies, telling Merlin she was home sick. Merlin calls her out on
her lies and she breaks down and cries. They go see Arthur and Arthur decides
that they’ll mount a rescue even though it’s clearly a trap.<br />

Arthur lies to Uther and says he’ll be away for a few days because
he got involved in a wager and now has to pay the price. Uther is furious
because he doesn’t like gambling, but when Arthur explains that Morgana got him
into it, Uther chuckles and all is forgiven because Morgana can do no fucking
wrong.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Merlin, Arthur and Gwen prepare to ride out and Merlin
discovers, to his great dismay, that Morgana is coming on this journey, too.
Things between them are prickly at best. When they make camp, Arthur tells them
all his plan of sneaking into Fyrien through the underground tunnels where a
former king hid his wealth from Uther.<br />

That evening, Morgana sneaks away and meets with Morgause in
the woods and tells her sister of Arthur’s plan. Morgause doesn’t know where
the entrance of the tunnels are and gives Morgana an enchanted, amber ring that
will lead Cenred’s men right to them.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Merlin knows shit is up, but he can’t prove it or call her
on it. Instead, when he spots a snake alongside the path, he uses magic to make
it frighten the horse, throwing Morgana to the ground where she sprains her
ankle. Merlin tries to convince Arthur to leave Morgana behind, but Arthur is
having none of it.<br />

They finally reach the tunnels and Morgana enters last,
activating her magical GPS ring so Cenred’s men can find them and they crawl
through the tunnels they use on every other shoot requiring a tunnel<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and are attacked. They’re brought before
Cenred and Morgause, taunted and thrown in cells, Gwen with Elyan and Arthur
with Merlin.<br />

Morgana avoids the cell treatment and chats with Cenred and
Morgause. Arthur and Merlin escape and free Gwen and Elyan. Arthur refuses to
leave without Morgana and sends Gwen, Elyan and Merlin to ride for Camelot.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Merlin disobeys, of course, and sneaks off behind Arthur.
There’s a big old show down in Cenred’s throne room and Morgana attacks Arthur with
a magical fire tornado thingy. Merlin, discreetly from the doorway, magically
sends it back at Morgause where it explodes, knocking down part of the ceiling
and rendering Morgause and Cenred unconscious and Morgana dazed.<br />

Arthur grabs Morgana and drags her out to the caves. Morgana
whines about her ankle and purposely tries to slow them down, but Arthur picks
her up, tosses her over his shoulder and carries her ass out. Once outside,
they’re set upon by some bad guys and Elyan has a chance to impress the hell
out of Arthur with his super awesome sword skills.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Once back in Camelot, we find out that Elyan is settling in
nicely to his father’s smithy and is now the town’s blacksmith, and Gwen and
Arthur have a conversation about always being there and helping the ones you
love. Pointed glances are exchanged.<br />

At least, this is my recollection of it. I wanted to skim

would have less obvious evil smirking. That is getting to be problematic and
annoying. I also would have explored Morgause and Cenred’s relationship a
little more. Mostly because I’m curious. </span></div>

this episode. Loved Gwen wanting to protect Arthur by not telling him what was
going on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hated how Morgause’s dress. I
would have insisted on a new dress for her. Yes, I know it’s shallow. I know I
bitch about it all the time. But that dress is an eyesore and distracting. Really
hated the glaringly obvious differences in the way Uther treats Arthur and
Morgana.</span></div>
