My nightstand abounds with new books!
Lucifer Rising and Vampyre Darcy's Desire
First, yesterday, I received two books for review over at Read All Over: 1) Vampyre Darcy’s Desire by Regina Jeffers from Ulysses Press and 2) Lucifer Rising by Barbara Fifield from the author herself, which she was so nice as to autograph for me. Thanks so much Barbara! I can’t wait to dive into your book.
Everyone may roll their eyes at the first book, but I had to request it. It’s two of my favourite things rolled into one: Jane Austen and vampires. The temptation was too much lol. I myself am even guilty of writing a short story about a vampire during the Regency/Georgian era ;) ‘Tis only natural that I would read someone’s story of the same. Purists would probably gank me though. Read the rest of this entry…

I’ve sold my soul.
Posted by Teresa (Chrissy) | Filed under Fansquee
I have been a passing admirer of Rupert Penry-Jones since he joined the Spooks (known as MI-5 to us Americans) team, but my heart had always belonged to Tom Quinn (Matthew MacFadyen) rather than Adam Carter (Rupert’s character).
However, when Katie recommended that I watch the new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion starring Rupert as Capt. Wentworth, I found a new devil to pawn my soul to.
Seriously … Darcy who?
Persuasion has more than renewed my interest in MI-5 and now I will spend my Thursday nights at 9pm, planted in front of the telly, watching this fine piece of molecular art do his thing on PBS.
Also, I may or may not be basing a character in my new book on him ;) Oh come on, he make the perfect 1916 British soldier … would he not? Of course, I’ll be working on the sequel to my ‘09 NaNoWriMo book before I begin the historical drama/romance I’m planning.
Now, off for dinner and some movies.

Tuna Casserole
Posted by Teresa (Chrissy) | Filed under Recipes
There are few things in the world that I make which leaves people requesting more, but my tuna casserole is one of them. I’m made this tonight for dinner so I thought I would share my recipe for you all.
This recipe is in two parts: you have the actual casserole recipe and then you have the recipe for homemade biscuits, which are the topping of the dish (with some cooked themselves for added eating *wink*) Read the rest of this entry…
