Spook Yourself. Halloween is Coming.

Image
In just 7 days we will get to wear costumes in public without being judged for it. Want to be a badass Jedi? Do it. Craving to channel your inner witch, vampire, ghoul, or goblin? Do it. Beam us up, Scotty, because we are ready! What are you going to be for Halloween?  Share your awesome costume ideas on Facebook or Twitter ! The rules have changed at my work. I was told I could wear something as long as I am still in my uniform. You better believe I am going to push this to the limit! ;) I haven't made my final decision yet because, let's face it, pushing the limit takes some serious brainstorming. I'm leaning towards some kind of steampunk cat (cat ears, a tiny top hat, and one of my gothic/western vests). As for my characters, they don't need to follow any rules! From left to right:  Jadelynn Jackson, Elly Reynolds, Major Pierson, and Aaron Winters* Jadelynn: I found these adorable cat ears for only 5 credits! I don't care what everyone ...

Photo courtesy of NASA.  Find all the images of Pluto you want here! We live in an exciting era. We are on what I hope is a brink of a new age for humanity. I mean, we sent New Horizons to Pluto, and there is talk of a manned mission to Mars. Right now the possibilities of what we may discover are endless. I just hope we don't mess it up before we can even cross the bridge of a new age...We humans tend to be greedy and warlike. Until we know every last inch of our solar system and have sent a person to every viable ...

Glory, Pride, and the Maiden Vain: Part 4

Dráiden's love is missing! He's tried everything to get her back, but it is as if she's vanished into thin air. When she is dragged before him, beaten and bruised, he will stop at nothing to make the elves pay. Little does he know that not everything is as it seems. Part I:  Luthandra Raikin Part II:  Dráiden Kaldor Part III: Elven Tidings Part IV: The Sham Three days. It had been three days since Luthandra had gone missing. Dráiden folded his arms across his chest as he leaned forward in his throne. He had no idea what the master of the Blacksmith’s Guild was meandering on and on about. Her maid, Braynia, claimed innocence and ignorance of the disappearance, but he had her locked up anyway. His groom was interrogating her in the dungeon below at this very moment. I cannot lose the only one who ever treated me with respect. I just...I can’t. He wanted the family that was his birthright. He wanted at least seven children, and he wanted to live to see-- “...
