COVER REVEAL - RACHEL MORGAN

Title: The Faerie Prince
Author: Rachel Morgan
Publication Date: May 30th 2013
Description:
Guardian trainee Violet Fairdale is just weeks away from one of the most important occasions of her life: graduation. After messing up big time by bringing a human into the fae realm, Vi needs to step up her game and forget about Nate if she hopes to graduate as the top guardian of her year. Everything would be fine if she wasn’t forced to partner with Ryn, her ex-friend, ex-enemy, current ‘sort of friend’. They might be trying to patch up their relationship, but does she really want to spend a week undercover with him for their final assignment? On top of that, the possibly-insane Unseelie Prince is still on the loose, free to ‘collect’ as many specially talented faeries as he can find—and Vi is still at the top of his list. Add in faerie queens, enchanted storms, complicated not-just-friends feelings, and a murder within the Guild itself, and graduation is about to become the least of Vi’s problems.

Aren't these great?

National Wormhole Day & more

National Wormhole Day

Here's the premise: What would you do or where would you go if you could traverse a wormhole through space or time just once? One safe round trip passage. Would you go back in time and talk some sense into a younger you? Go five years into the future and bring back the Wall Street Journal? See just how the heck the Great Pyramids of Giza were really built? View what the other side of the universe looks like? Kill Hitler? 

So... a safe trip... I'd take that chance to be transported to the TARDIS and have many more adventures back and forth through time with The Doctor - that would mean more adventures and a safe trip home whenever I want. And I'd ask him to take to the beginning of time to witness it. Smart, huh?

OR, respecting the rule - just a safe trip I'd go attend my parents' wedding after putting together a crazy clever desguise. Like that, they'd remind me later like the insane, strange woman who no one knew at their wedding. Of course, I'd take my camera with me - there's always room for more pics at such an event! I'd return just after having a piece of cake - no point in leaving without enjoying dessert, is it?

Carpe Diem - Butterflies; Writer,'s Digest - Descendence

I'll soon start to keep my haiku at different memes and challenges in the same post.


My haiku for Carpe Diem, a daily haiku. Today it's all about butterflies:

a stroll through the woods
in the winter cold and snow -
dreaming butterflies

For the Writer's Digest Poetic Asides Prompt nr. 212, a haiku sequence about descendence that I didn't post yet because they seem to have a problem.

Evolution

present becomes past:

sustained metamorphosis –

evolution key

Darwin's theory –

more than a controversy:

plain reality

humans admiring

some rare specimens at zoo:

chicken or egg first?

fossilized monkeys:

searching for the missing link,

some unknown species
