EXPRESS YOURSELF

This week Jackie and Dani have asked

What movies do you watch over and over that you can practically quote word for word?

 

The Criminologist: I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey. 

The Criminologist: And crawling, on the planet's face, some insects, called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space... and meaning. 

 Eddie: Hot patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock n' roll! 

Vivian: In case I forget to tell you later, I had a really good time tonight. 

Edward Lewis: You and I are such similar creatures Vivian. We both screw people for money.  

Edward Lewis: People's reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic; they either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don't, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul. 

 

Red Queen: You're all going to die down here.

 Red Queen: Just one bite, one scratch from these creatures is sufficient. And then, you become one of them.

Mark of the Princess 

(The Kingdom Chronicles #1)

by B.C. Morin

BLURB:

The feisty and determined faerie Princess Alannah is many things, but she never thought she would be the key to her people’s destruction.

Kidnapped for a power she does not yet possess, Alannah finds herself in the clutches of the most malevolent sorcerer of her time. Maligo. Alannah escapes her prison with help from the handsome and stalwart warrior faerie, Brennus.

Now she must cross mountains and forests fraught with rogue faeries, vicious Fae-hating trolls, dangerous shape-shifters, and more to reach the only ones that can help her control her incoming powers. The Elder Faeries.

With Brennus by her side, Alannah is determined to reach the Elder Faeries and save her people. Maligo is just as determined she never makes it that far.

 
MY TEASER:
Alannah stood and walked to the doors of her cell. She looked to the right and left of the hallway and saw no one. She tried to feel the magic that her mother told her about, closing her eyes and trying to extend her emotions and feelings, but felt nothing. None of the life she felt when she was in Meira was felt here. This place was dead, the cold stone walls offered no life at all.

RE-INTRODUCE MYSELF BLOGFEST

The Re-Introduce  Myself Blogfest is brought to you by 

Mark Koopmans,  

Elise Fallson,

Stephen Tremp, and myself).

Actually, I do not think I have actually introduced myself officially a first time, so here it is. 

Hi, I am Carolyn and welcome to my blog!

I am pursuing the avenue of being a writer, but I have worked in many trades prior to this, Bank Officer (Teller, Ledger Supervisor, Proof Supervisor) / Waitress / Bar Assistant / Restaurant, Bar Manager / Data Entry Operator / Receptionist  / HR Officer /  Education Assistant.

Excelling at Microsoft Excel and having a photographic memory help me to be quite organized in all areas of my life.

I have now self-published two books: He Came For Me and He Came For Mine, both from the same series, The Protectors.  Now here's a little secret - He Came For Me was the very first novel I have ever attempted to write!

In my personal life, I am happily married (21 years) and have two children. One boy and a girl, who are both quite talented, artistically. My favourite past times are walking along the beach and swimming. I also enjoy reading, of course writing, playing video games (Final Fantasy, Residental Evil, Diablo, The Sims and lots more), camping and going to music festivals.

Well, I hope you will join in and share a couple of secrets with us! Maybe you could share the answers to some of these questions - What industries have you worked in? What are your interests? Do you enjoy similar past times as myself?

 Thanks for participating,

Carolyn
