Top Ten List

Ten of My Favorite Things

1. Music – I have been singing since I was little. Most recently I sang in a choir of seventy for seven years in Tucson, Arizona. We did two concerts a year Spring and Christmas.

2. Art – I am an artist myself since I was very young. My favorite things to paint are cats, big and domestic, and birds of all kinds, but I have recently been attracted to doorways and windows. My favorite mediums are oil and watercolor.

3. Animals – I have always loved animals. Right now we have two dogs, Sara (black lab); Toby (Boston Terrier) ; a cat, Gwynie (black long hair); five birds, Jigzie (dbl yellow head parrot), Pretty Boy and Pretty Girl (cockatiels, Pete (lovebird), and Blue Boy (parakeet). We also see deer, raccoon, and a variety of wild animals on our property.

5. The Redwoods – I live amongst them. We have at least four on our seven acres of land.

9. Doing Craft Shows – I have been doing craft shows for some time now. I am a wire sculpter and I make jewelry with my craft, crochet, and sell my books at the shows we do. I love meeting the people at the shows and many of the other crafters are our friends.

10. Creating Characters for my books – in the beginning I fashioned my characters after people I have known for a long time but eventually you run out of people and have to create your own. The names of my characters are all anagrams of my names.

Snippet:

From Chapter Three - Laurel

“Everyone touch hands when I say so.” We stopped at the bottom stair, “now,” I said quietly. We all disappeared and reappeared on top of the mound. Suddenly silence moved through the multitude like the fingers of a fog; creeping through trees, around tents and campfires. When stillness pervaded I held my hand up and everyone dropped to one knee.

I took a deep breath, feeling the immensity of the salutation before me; tears sprang to my eyes. So many with the confidence in me to lead them to victory. “Please Mother Goddess give me the strength and the power to go forward and do what must be done.” I felt Dena’s hand on my shoulder.

“You can do this, Laurel; the Goddess is in you right now. If you could only see your face you would know it too, you are glowing and your eyes are green crystals.” She said with emphasis.

I looked out over the Guard that I was the leader of, perusing the grounds where that same Guard had set up a camp complete with fighting arenas, nutrition tents, small villages where Humans were protected from the outside dangers, were making clothing, food from hunting, and a very large open area for the griffins and aircraft. There were children everywhere who were just as quiet as the adults. Finally I reached down and released my sword from its sheath, and holding my arm in the air I yelled, “HTRAEIANS, THIS IS OUR WORLD! IT IS TIME TO SEND THE ALIENS HOME! TIME TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER WELCOME HERE!” With each phrase there was cheering and swords in the air. When they quieted again I lowered my sword and spoke slowly projecting my voice and choosing my words carefully as I spoke to their hearts. “It is time to get ready for our first offensive move on this continent. Our spies have told us that the aliens have set up a large base camp north of us. I was in the area when I was captured and taken to the high desert before Learden found me and I was released. A Hybrid named Kronus captured me with the intention of turning me over to the aliens. He has been spying for the aliens since the beginning and if captured would be a valuable prisoner. Do not kill him if you find him. Bring him to me and I will use him against the aliens.”

“Just after twilight tonight we will attack. By air, on the back of griffins and on the ground. When I am finished here you will begin to prepare for battle and I will brief your commanders and lieutenants. They will give you your orders and we will move out as soon as the new moons rise. We are in the new moons faze of Winter Solstice, a turning point of the year ahead. We will make the best of this as we set off to war against a malevolent foe.”

“The Witch Council will send magick with us that will devastate the aliens, confuse them and make them want to leave our planet for good. The new moons give us the cover of darkness so they will not see the griffins above them nor will they be aware of those of you on the ground. Do not be afraid of them, they are horrible creatures with the curse of a vile life on a vile planet called Hoth. LET US SEND THEM BACK THERE!” I shouted as I raised my sword once more. Shouts came from everyone and swords were raised by those who had them. I waited for the shouts to die down.

“May the Goddess keep us safe from harm and may the One that created us give us strength and courage to see this through.” When I raised my head I saw the entire Guard, once again, down on one knee before me. “Rise and go forth and prepare for battle.” Before I was able to leave there was a shout from one of the groups, “My queen, where is, Learden your mate and consort?”
