The Art of Breaking... Coming SOON!
I've had this written for at least a good year! I'm ashamed that I've been procrastinating on it. My joy of reading has gotten in the way. As I had promised and vowed to myself and a good friend, I'm currently now doing the edits for my new M/M story I have written. YAY! Go me! It's NOT getting published since I don't enjoy endings and this way the story will never end unless I choose it to.
Here is a picture of MY idea on what the characters look like to me when I write them and a summary on what I'm going to be posting. The top pic is Nikolas and below him is Kyler. It won't be all at once, but rather a few pages every other day is my thought.
I hope everyone enjoys it and feel free to leave comments. Please.

| Nikolas |

| Kyler |
Summary:
As an assassin and the
leader of an elite team of Special Forces agents it's up to Nikolas to see to
the safety, well being and welfare of his team on every mission. His goal? To
come out successful, mission accomplished and their lives intact. Nikolas has
made one wrong mistake that will haunt him for the rest of his life. As Nikolas
recovers from a mission gone horribly wrong he doubts himself and his abilities
at being a leader, a Dominant and Master.
Kyler who looks younger than he is age of 21 years, has been around the
block one too many times with the wrong Master and vouches never to get himself
put into that position again, but one chance encounter, a blind date set up by
a close friend will change his life. Or will it? Could he learn to trust again?
Only time will tell.
Will these two men be
able to set aside their personal issues and give in to the explosive chemistry
between them that consumes their every breath or will the enemy that is
pursuing them forever tear them apart.
Content: Mild
violence, D/s, dubious consent, snarky submissives and a ton of hawt M/M steamy

A whole new world...
That's NOT a song peeps. No, not for me. Nu uh!
FOR ages I've been on Facebook and on Goodreads and I've, sorry to admit this, but limited my knowledge to just those two circles. Besides here of cowse. But a sweetheart I know sent me a request for G+ and I sat there and scratched my mop of messy hair and wondered what the hells is that? So after mucho debate I went in and thought: What the heck. I'm gonna see what it's all about. It's way mint and easy to connect with friends and authors. I'm enjoying it so far.
THEN a few days ago while I'm sitting back and enjoying the holidays someone says to me:
Person: Hey, do you TWEET?
Me: As in Twitter? Why would I do that?
Person: Cause it's fun (with a shrug)
Me: "Well I don't know." me the ever so thought I knew it all, but I'm still clueless and most things that I will NOT admit to and plead the Fifth asks: Does it cost anything to be on that?
Person: who snickers and laughs at my expense says: HAHA no it doesn't. It's free! F.R.E.E. (as IF I need it spelled out for me!)
SO I've been giving it a go for the last 4 days and can I say WOW! I've gotten to know new people, connect with old, keep updated on what's happening with my fav authors, musicians and just... anybody you want! Oh and there's this wee lad, Raiph... So fawking adorable! I've got the hang of understanding his every word, but it took me a few to get the hang of it. If you're ever in the Tweet zone you'll get hooked easily 'nough. I am!
I'M outta here since the tweeting has one slight downfall effect... it's taking me longer to get through a dayum book!
~B~ Over and out :salutes:
P.S. Isn't this nice what I woke up tah this morn? NOT!

ENDGAME by Nancy Garden
Endgame by Nancy GardenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Summary: A new town, a new school, a new start. That's what fourteen-year-old Gray Wilton believes as he chants, "It's gonna be better, gonna be better here." But it doesn't take long for Gray to realize that nothing's going to change--there are bullies in every school, and he's always their punching bag. Their brutal words, physical abuse, and emotional torture escalate until Gray feels trapped in a world where he has no control, no support systems, and no way out--until the day he enters the halls of Greenford High School with his father's semiautomatic in hand.
Award-winning novelist Nancy Garden, author of the groundbreaking novel Annie on My Mind, once again goes out on a limb, this time to show readers the cruelty of bullying and the devastating effects it can have.
MY Review:
Have you ever had your heart beat so hard in your chest that you could swear it was going to burst out of its cavity or you felt it down to yours toes with every thump, thump? That's what I endured reading this book. My heart goes out to Gray. My opinion. My words. My review.
I just wished books of this nature could make a big difference in the world, but can a leopard change it spots or a zebra change its stripes? Thought not.
MY in-depth thoughts on this book are as follows:
Yes, there were innocent victims in this book I don’t
dispute this one bit, but i agree to disagree with those who want to point the
finger at the accused without taking into clear consideration all the facts and
the events before and during the time of the ‘incident’. My sincere sympathy
lay with Gray the one boy of 14yrs old that one day just took matters into his
own hands and SNAPPED!
Do I believe that the events that took place could have been
prevented from happening? You bet I do!
It comes to the full on facts that everyone in Gray’s life
failed him.
His father? FAIL
The student body? FAIL
Teachers and piers? FAIL
What Gray was subjected to in his life and not just at
school was handled very poorly. Did he have anyone really to turn to? Well,
let’s see...
There was the school counsellor, but she just cared more
that every student ‘like’ school and be ‘happy’ while being there.
There were the teachers who thoughts the antics of bullying
were ‘amusing’.
His father or his mother? He left a bad acidic taste in my
mouth regarding his ‘fatherly’ methods as a parent. Well, the father ruled the
roost, the mother only accomplished so much say.
Friends? He did have ONE who turned on him in the end. Mind
you, said friend did try to report the bullying incidents and the results were
basically ‘suck it up’. Not worth reporting really and this was the school
principal.
Gray pours his heart out to this lawyer that his own father
had hired and i have to wonder... Did this lawyer, even after Gray gave every
single detail of what led up to that fateful moment do him justice in the court
room? Hmm I do wonder, but now let’s take it to the courtroom: The judge...
1.
I honestly believe the sentence handed out was
to appease the victim’s families.
2.
Was it even considered by this judge that Gray
was a ‘victim’ himself due to the insistent and consistent cruel and brutal
taunting and bullying he’d endured?
3.
Was this judge really give a rat’s ass about the
alleged accused shooter? What about future treatment do deal with Gray’s
trauma? Nope. It didn’t happen.
4.
Even at trial the justice system failed Gray.
NOTE to judge: You shouldn’t be one. You don’t deserve
to be sitting on that bench. YOU sir ARE in my very clear words: A FAILURE! I
bet the Almighty justice ‘system’ only brought down the sentence using Gray as
a means to setting an example to all teens who choose to pick up a gun. Really?
What about those who continue to harass and bully those lesser than themselves?
Lemme take a stab at what a bully might think, but you
tell me is it logical to say: The bullying will continue because you see, if I
bully you, you’ll just snap one day and do something drastic. I might lose my
life or maybe not, but I the bully will get the last laugh because you’ll be
caught, arrested unless you’ve off’d yourself first and serve life in prison
without parole. You get me? HOW PATHETIC IS THIS??!! But think about it folks:
It’s the truth and the cold hard facts. Bullying

Company Memo - Christmas Party
Company Memo
FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director
TO: All Employees
DATE: October 1, 2012
RE: Gala Christmas Party
I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols... feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM. Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for employees!
Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time!
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Patty
Company Memo
FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director
TO: All Employees
DATE: October 2, 2012
RE: Gala Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on, we're calling it our "Holiday Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.
Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family,

RE: Holiday Party
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA Only", you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this?
Somebody?
And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy.
REMEMBER: NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.
Company Memo

To: All Employees
DATE: October 4, 2012
RE: Generic Holiday Party
What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?
Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms.
Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table.
Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table.
To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms. Sorry.
We will have booster seats for short people.
Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet.
I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food . The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first.
There will be fresh "low sugar" fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply "no sugar" desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?

RE: The Fucking Holiday Party
I've had it with you vegetarian pricks!!! We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so quaintly put it, and you'll get your fucking salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW!
The rest of you fucking wierdos can kiss my ass. I hope you all have a rotten holiday!
Drive drunk and die,
The Bitch from Hell!!!

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I'll continue to forward your cards to her.
In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!

The author Brom
MY blog today will reflect this amazingly creative author and after reading his book The Child Thief I'm thrilled to discover this talented man and promote his creative works.
WHO is Brom? Born in the deep dark south in the mid-sixties. Brom, an army brat, spent his entire youth on the move and unabashedly blames living in such places as Japan, Hawaii, Germany, and Alabama for all his afflictions. From his earliest memories Brom has been obsessed with the creation of the weird, the monstrous, and the beautiful. You can find out more about him on his personal WS here: http://www.bromart.com/bio.html
THESE books are some of his publishings which you can find on Amazon or at Barnes & Noble.
AS the holidays are soon upon us, his most latest book which will fascinate the most morbid mind is KRAMPUS, the Yule Lord. If your thoughts and your mind are as dark as mine and can handle the very darkness of Brom's world in his stories than you can be sure to enjoy this book. Below the cover I'm going to give you from Brom's page what the book is about and it's to your discretion if you can handle it. Or not.

Below the cover I'm going to give you from Brom's page what the book is about and it's to your discretion if you can handle it. Or not.
Overview
Santa Claus, my
dear old friend, you are a thief, a traitor, a slanderer, a murderer, a
liar, but worst of all you are a mockery of everything for which I
stood. You have sung your last ho, ho, ho, for I am coming for your
head. . . . I am coming to take back what is mine, to take back Yuletide
. . .
—from Krampus
—from Krampus
The author and artist of The Child Thief returns with a modern fabulist tale of Krampus, the Lord of Yule and the dark enemy of Santa Claus
One Christmas Eve in a small
hollow in Boone County, West Virginia, struggling songwriter Jesse
Walker witnesses a strange spectacle: seven devilish figures chasing a
man in a red suit toward a sleigh and eight reindeer. When the reindeer
leap skyward, taking the sleigh, devil men, and Santa into the clouds,
screams follow. Moments later, a large sack plummets back to earth, a
magical sack that thrusts the down-on-his-luck singer into the clutches
of the terrifying Yule Lord, Krampus. But the lines between good and
evil become blurred as Jesse's new master reveals many dark secrets
about the cherry-cheeked Santa Claus, including how half a millennium
ago the jolly old saint imprisoned Krampus and usurped his magic.
Now Santa's time is running
short, for the Yule Lord is determined to have his retribution and
reclaim Yuletide. If Jesse can survive this ancient feud, he might have
the chance to redeem himself in his family's eyes, to save his own
broken dreams, . . . and to help bring the magic of Yule to the
impoverished folk of Boone County.

The Child Thief by Brom
The Child Thief by BromMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Read this book and take a journey with Peter Pan into the land of Never Neverland? I think not if what comes to your mind is the fantasy Fairytale that we all know of as we were growing up as a child. Instead the author Brom encourages us with every detailed word to take sis trip into the land of beautiful horrors. This book is not playful, beautiful, yet it is full of magic, trickery, deceit, revenge and filled with unimaginable nightmares and horrors beyond the imagination. Brom epically creates a story of Peter himself and also centers around Nick, one of the boys the Peter abducts and takes him into a realm through the mist. A realm that Peter takes children that have been abused, abandoned and runaways. The question you'll ask yourself is were these children better off?
The read is not a light one. I read pages upon pages of death, greed, treachery, cruelty. I found no humor, but only sorrow and I came to a point where I realized that although this book is one of the most amazingly creative books I've read apart from a few others, that might heart did not soar. My heart plummeted to a pathetic low and broke a millions times over as I went from page to page.
Brom brings to you a side of THIS fairytale that will hit you full force in a way you would never have in your wildest dreams expected.
Readers, don't be fooled go into this story! It's not a romance, a fun read. Oh it's fun in it's own morbid way! Although I enjoyed this book to maximum capacity, there is in my sole opinion no HEA. It's a story with a spectacular and glorious beginning with a horrific end. I kid you not.
Two thumbs up and a highly recommended read. If you dare :winks:
Brom is very highly talented. His drawings are majestic and therefore I attach some of his illustrations in the video below.

Just Hit Send by Grasshopper
Just Hit Send by GrasshopperMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm editing this review since I last wrote my short snippet on it because I just couldn't let it go with some words unsaid. So here it goes:
An amazing story of two boys connecting and seeing where life, even with all its ups and downs take them. Now on to the next segment... The college years. I liked how all the different characters' lives entwined as they came together. You will have moments when reading the story that will bring you to tears and both sadness and in laughter, but there's more in laughter than any other emotions. JD is the little dude to watch out for. You can find JD's story in Summerfire. Sad yet sweet all bundled in one, yet it's short.
To get the full bodied experience "snickering" Yeah I said that, of Just Hit Send, it consists of all the following:
Just Hit 'Send' - The High School Years
Just Hit 'Send' - The College Years
Just Hit 'Send' - The Interim Years
Just Hit 'Send' - The Happy Years
Then go to read Summerfire about JD.
I wish this story didn't end, but as all stories do so did this one.
The author, Grasshopper brings you so much interest in joy in his writings that I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. My eyes were truly open to so many emotions.
Two thumbs up!

Remembrance Day November 11th
Because I'm Canadian my blog is about Canadians with no intend to offend our neighbors in the United States of America, which I do think highly of! I am very proud of my ancestors which served in this war and stood up for our Country and what they believed in. Love you Grandad and even though you passed before I was born and I never got to know you other than your picture in your army uniform I will still miss you!
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians are asked to pause in memory of the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service.
Also known as Veterans Day in the U.S., Remembrance Day was first held throughout the Commonwealth in 1919. It marks the armistice to end the First World War, which came into effect at 11 a.m. on Nov. 11, a year earlier.
Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.
In Flanders Fields by John McCrae and continuation by Matthew Lapierre
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow between the crosses
Row on row
That mark the place and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scare heard amid the guns below
We are the dead short days ago
We lived felt dawn saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie in Flanders Fields
Take up the quarrel with the foe
To you from falling hands we throw,
The torch be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep though poppies grow in Flanders Fields
We have kept faith ye Flanders dead
Sleep well beneath those poppies red
The torch your falling hands did throw,
We've held it high before the foe,
And answered bitter blow for blow,
In Flanders Fields
And where your heroes' blood was spilled
The guns are now forever stilled,
No moaning sound of tortured pain
Only grief for the slain
In Flanders Fields

November 6
That dreaded day is soon upon me. We admit there was a time when we couldn't get our birthday arriving soon enough.
Like turning 13 cause you've hit puberty (a young man now) or girls 16 for their sweet 16 parties and 16 to get our driver's license (I didn't attempt mine till I was 20) or turning 19 so we can go to the clubs although... I got in at 16 already (friends in high places) :snickering: At 21 - 30 yrs old I went wild in every way possible. From alcohol to drugs to finding myself and experimenting with sex. Oh hell I lost my virginity at 16, but I'm talking threesomes, foursomes and... so on! I'm now past the age of 40 is all I'm gonna say and I'll albeit admit that I've been there and done that. If I was to die tomorrow and can honestly say that there's nothing missing I haven't done that I wanted to do. NOT saying I'm gonna die tomorrow, mind you.
There's one thing... I didn't get a book published and I know I spoke about shutting down this blog, but I've had a viewpoint. I'm going to take that non-published book and post it in parts here starting January 1, 2013. I'm turning a new leaf on this blog. It's all M/M. I can't take complete credit for the writing of this book because I knew someone at the time who was my inspiration in writing this story and he deserves part credit in the creation of one of the characters. I will not name him, but he is always in my thoughts and I hope he's doing well and wish him well with no hard feelings just clean thoughts. Stayed tuned for that.
Now below... see who shares my day even though :wrinkles nose: some are unsavory people.
Like turning 13 cause you've hit puberty (a young man now) or girls 16 for their sweet 16 parties and 16 to get our driver's license (I didn't attempt mine till I was 20) or turning 19 so we can go to the clubs although... I got in at 16 already (friends in high places) :snickering: At 21 - 30 yrs old I went wild in every way possible. From alcohol to drugs to finding myself and experimenting with sex. Oh hell I lost my virginity at 16, but I'm talking threesomes, foursomes and... so on! I'm now past the age of 40 is all I'm gonna say and I'll albeit admit that I've been there and done that. If I was to die tomorrow and can honestly say that there's nothing missing I haven't done that I wanted to do. NOT saying I'm gonna die tomorrow, mind you.
There's one thing... I didn't get a book published and I know I spoke about shutting down this blog, but I've had a viewpoint. I'm going to take that non-published book and post it in parts here starting January 1, 2013. I'm turning a new leaf on this blog. It's all M/M. I can't take complete credit for the writing of this book because I knew someone at the time who was my inspiration in writing this story and he deserves part credit in the creation of one of the characters. I will not name him, but he is always in my thoughts and I hope he's doing well and wish him well with no hard feelings just clean thoughts. Stayed tuned for that.
