Oh My Gosh- I'm So Excited!

 

On Monday I participated in the very fun Thrill of it All blogfest in honor of Tara Tyler and Heather Gardner's book releases.  (Don't forget to pick up a copy of Maguire's Corner from Amazon and stay tuned for Tara's blog hop tour starting next month!)

You can imagine how thrilled I was to find this tweet on Friday morning announcing that I, C.M. Brown, Christine Rains and CD Coffelt had won!  It's sort of a big deal for my writing to get that kind of recognition and I'm incredibly psyched about it!  A giant thanks to Tara and Heather!!

I'm also really excited at the prospect of an awesome, amazing, glistening and gorgeous new header topping my blog, courtesy of Ms. Tara herself.  I've got an image in my mind that I've been marinating and will soon consult with Tara to see how she can transform that into something visual to top my blog, so definitely stay tuned for that.  

Congrats to everybody who participated in this awesome event, and to Tara and Heather for their publishing success!  It was a ball!

The Thrill of it All Blogfest

Today's thrilling blogfest is hosted by the amazing Tara Tyler who is celebrating her soon-to-be-released novel Pop Travel coming out on July 7th by popping up all around the intarwebs- keep your eyes peeled as you hop about over the next few months to see interviews, reviews, guest posts and lots of other exciting things!  And co-hosting is the equally fantastic Heather M. Gardner who is celebrating her recently released novel Maguire's Corner available on Amazon, Smashwords and Kobo!  Please check them out today!

For my thrilling entry I went with the love side of things and composed a poem.  I hope you all enjoy it!

His Sweet Breath

He looked so tranquil

like a still, serene pond.

The pale morning light

gave the whole room a bluish tint

and promise.

His chest

all soft pastels

and touchable skin.

His lips slightly parted,

his sweet breath

warm on her shoulder.

Like this

he was nothing but possibilities-

and she could project onto him

any future her imagination could birth.

Dreams.

But in the harsh light of day

those dreams would vanish,

vanquished by the light,

like shadows at noon.

And the stark landscape of reality

would steal this cerulean world.

So she slid her naked body off the bed

holding her breath

as the sheets caressed her,

sending a lingering shiver through her lithe form.

She grabbed her dress.

She allowed herself one last,

longing look at this gentle world.

Then turned the latch

and slipped out.

Exhale.

And that's it!  It's probably different than you were expecting but hopefully enjoyable nonetheless.

And now, please hop along to read the other thrilling stories!
