Good for the U.S.! And Good for the San Diego Zoo for bringing attention to the plight of the Rhino.
A daytime bonfire was staged Thursday at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Its kindling: Illegal items made of rhinoceros horn that had been confiscated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The event — which destroyed whole horns, ornaments and products advertised as medicinals, together worth $1 million on the black market — was meant to…
Can a half-demon, half-pixie/holy warrior/unicorn/Father Earth/werewolf (Yeah. Don’t ask.) not get just a little bit of peace and quiet? Just a little? I mean, Come ON People! She already saved the world. Twice, as a matter of fact, in the last couple of years. Can a girl not just enjoy her adopted Brownie son and her half-fallen angel boyfriend for a few bloody minutes before you all go messing things up? Again?
But nooooooo . . . You just have to go gettin’ all rowdy, joining a whacko cult, walking around like zombies (when you aren’t rutting like bunnies) and generally messing up Caith’s life.
Again.
Ugh.
It seems a couple of Caith’s old enemies are up to no good once again. Even if Uncle Lucifer did throw them into the very bowels of the deepest circle of Hell. Of course, if Uncle Dearest didn’t have his mind on the little demon spawn he planted in the brainless twit he just dumped at Caith’s front door, maybe she could have gotten things under control a little more easily?
Nah. No such luck.
Sigh.
That’s all bad enough. But when Caith’s little Bryony, Sam, and best friend Jezzie are endangered? Well, here’s a clue. Don’t. Piss off. The niece of the Morningstar. That will get you just all kinds of pain.
Caith Morningstar is one kick-ass beotch. You would expect her to be, taking into consideration who her mother is, but while she may have set Chicago on fire (Once! It was Just Once!) and maybe started a war (Or two. Maybe.), the influence of all five fathers makes her loyal, protective, and determined to keep Mouse Town, her family, and her friends, safe.
Ms. Celia has written another winner Urban Fantasy in “Made in Hell” I have no doubt you will love! Humor, pathos, love, hate – it’s all here, and all written in that unique Celia Kyle style.
I received “Made in Hell” from the author in exchange for a realistic review. How Lucky am I?!?!
Another brilliant article from Michael. Cheers!
Chrysler Airflow in Napier, New Zealand. Design styling par excellence – because the designers could control what they wanted. Writers need to too.
All of them demanded utterly different writing styles – and I had to jump between them.
Luckily I’ve spent several decades writing and have full control of writing style. But I didn’t get there by accident. It’s a specific skill, and it’s one writers have to deliberately acquire. I also think that the ability to control style is one of the most crucial and basic skills needed in writing.
All too often I see beginning writers – now, of course, publishing on Amazon – clearly struggling…

A report by Jonathan M. Katz for The New York Times. Just days after the United Nations acknowledged playing a role in a cholera outbreak in Haiti, and a day after it was ruled immune from related lawsuits by a United States court, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday called on the organization’s member states to […]
via U.N. Leader Urges Member States to Fund Haiti’s Cholera Recovery — Repeating Islands
It is bad enough that our courts were such cowards in 2010. Now, what do you think the most hateful, bigoted presidential candidate in the history of the US would say to Haiti when they ask for help? This is a tiny planet, under incredible stress. Turning our backs on our neighbors is inexcusable.
This sounds like a hoot, and it is on my read list, but with my schedule right now it will be a couple weeks before I get to it – so I wanted to share the press release and links. If you read it before me – let me know what you think!

Single and sexless Melie Kohl strives to keep order at the out-of-control Axis Mundi Medical Center, which is swarming with buttock-grabbing doctors, hebephrenic staff and monstrous bosses, all while trying to find a life of her own in author Janet Garber’s new novel, “Dream Job: Wacky Adventures of an HR Manager.”
As the story unfolds, Melie runs into a little murder here, some cancer there, a handsome devil and rivals, not all of whom are human, like Gladys, the first parrot-woman gladiator. Through it all, Melie won’t give up until she has sorted it all out – the hunk, the macaw and her life’s work.
Garber says she wrote the book after being inspired with a “burning need to inject humor into my day-to-day existence.”
