Last week, I did an homage to heroines.
This week, I take on the heros.
Next weeks posts will be: Why Your Hero Shouldn't Wear a White Hat.
I will most CERTAINLY be referencing this video... and it won't all be about 80's hair.
Completely unedited. Beware of flying commas!

What's Hot Wednesday!!! INCARNATE by Jodi Meadows That's What!!!
Next Wednesday- January 31st- is the release of Jodi Meadows' debut novel :
and if that doesn't get ya all wiggly and giggly inside here's the quick run down ala Goodreads:
NEWSOUL
Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.
NOSOUL
Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame?
HEART
Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all?
Jodi is not only an amazing writer, but the girl has some serious mojo when it comes to tightening up a query. Almost two years ago, I was Jodi's 1000th follower on Twitter. As a prize, she gave me a free five page critique. Let's say the red pen was a flyin' but so were her encouraging words.
Two years plus a completed and revised and revised and revised and revised MS later, I always here Jodi's voice. I admit, it she sounds a little like Sandra Bullock in my head.
Jodi's telling me to watch those runaway commas and fly-by-night apostrophes.
Tighten here.
What are you trying to say there.
And sometimes there's a reference to spinning and her ferret, Kippy.
Needless to say, Jodi's awesome!
Now... go pre-order INCARNATE here!

My Favorite Things ... yep, it's a Monday!
I debated about what should be my favorite thing. I’ve got so many swirling around in my head.
I could go with the personal aspect:
weather, hot tamale candies, butterscotch coffee, fresh linens.
I could go the mommy route:
snuggles in the morning, mini-me- Dylann’s- dimple, I love you mommy’s.
But I think today I’m going to go with the writer in me and my most favorite thing is
the Microsoft Word Navigator.
I LOVE IT!!!
I’ve always written my books in order.
If I had an idea about another part of the book,
If I had an idea about another part of the book,
I’d start a new document, save it and, usually, lose it!
In this AMAZING site is a writer’s toolbox tab.
If you ever do anything for yourself, go play in this site and this tab!!
In here, you can flip from chapter 1 to chapter 20 like this:
And then, just as easily flip back to chapter 2 and repeat.
This may seem extremely simple,
but to a girl who would create whole new documents for ideas…
this was fantabulous.
Voila!
Two must-have, my favorite things!
1. Word Navigator and 2. Helene Boudreau’s Blog!
