Elderly priest of Holy Sweet Micah, Aunt Libby, leaves her parish in a huff and walks into danger. Not from the tough young mercreature who robs her, not from the pragmatic waterfront restaurateur who gives her the briefest possible shelter, but from fellow priests.
“Reaver” priests, mercenary and cynical, have driven all true priests out of Port Novo and plan to expand their power as far as possible. One old woman isn’t going to stand in their way.
Or so they think.

Well, you certainly figured out a contest that would keep your new Novel, EEL’S REVERENCE, in the minds of your followers AND would keep them coming back to your various blog entries. I’m impressed… Wait’ll they get wind of this! LOL! Now, are those listed above all Novel posts?

May 4, 2011 at 6:29pmHi, Marian. I saw your comment on my recent blog post and came over to meet. I’m going to pass on the Stylish Award for now (I think I got one months ago), but that doesn’t matter. The important thing is that I’ve met you. I’m at my youngest daughter’s until tomorrow evening, but when I get home to my own computer I’m going to buy your book for my kindle. I too love the cover and the premise intrigues me.
Glad to now be a follower!
p.s. Have been thinking about using WordPress, if I can figure it out, for another project I’m thinking of. But I don’t want to give up blogger because I have so many wonderful followers. How difficult Is WordPress?

May 4, 2011 at 6:53pmI used WordPress.com for a while, then switched to a self-hosted WordPress, which was a whole different animal! People who have used Blogger AND the free WordPress AND self-hosted WordPress say that Blogger is the easiest to use and self-hosted WordPress is the most flexible. Whatever you use, something is going to go wonky somewhere along the line. For instance, I used to have a Google Friends button on my sidebar, and one day it disappeared. I’ve done the “fixes” I’ve found recommended, but the beautiful followers I picked up during the blog challenge are gone with the wind! I think I can go find them on Google Friend Connect, but I miss them in my sidebar!
Why are you thinking of switching to WordPress?

And yes, Maggie Smith would be awesome. And the book is cheap enough I can afford to buy it for my Kindle, so I don’t have to wait for the movie to come out….
I’ve thought of how I would cast ‘Wildmage’, there was an actress in a Korean drama that would be right for one character, Miyeok , but all I can remember about that drama is that the girl’s mama ran a dumpling restaurant and she sold dumplings in the market place.

April 11, 2011 at 1:55pmYou’re right–there MUST be eels in the Eel!
I love casting books. My #4 daughter, also a writer, and I cast our own and each other’s books all the time, just for the fun of it. 🙂

There’s always Maggie Smith. She may be too old, but she can look frail and project power at the same time.

February 27, 2011 at 7:58amI’m glad you like the cover. I was so happy with it! 🙂
True about Maggie Smith. She’d be awesome! Or Meryl Streep. Or Judy Dench. But Maggie Smith…. Yes, she would be favorite. 🙂

December 17, 2010 at 10:41amI my book had been published in the early 80’s, I would have cast Meg Ryan for my heroine. Who can forget, When Harry met Sally? Today, I have no idea.
