An Update…
January 12th, 2010To those of you that have been visiting me for some time I hope that you will remember me telling you about a book called “Somewhere In Germany”. This book was written by Deborah King and was centered around a man who lived not 2 miles from me. Paul was an American Soldier who was stationed in Germany during WWII. He fell in love with a young German woman…to understand it all you just have to read the book. You can visit HERE to get a brief version of the story.
Anyway, I wanted to let you all know that the woman that the book was centered around, Anna, passed away last week. Deborah King let me know that she passed peacefully with the knowledge that Paul never forgot her and never quit loving her. Anna was buried on Friday in Fahrenzhausen at the Church there.
Chilling Tales (GIVEAWAY)
November 29th, 2009THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED !!!
Here is a great holiday gift for anyone’s favorite Do-it-yourselfer, handyman or anyone else who just loves a good story. ” Chilling Tales from the Porcelain Seat” is a vignette-style bathroom reader featuring the SyFy channel’s Ghost Hunters Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. The book details tales of plumbing horrors and hilarity in an easy-to-read short story format. Nothing too gross, or too scary but certainly enough to make people of all ages chuckle.
According to a news release, “The idea behind the book stems from all the strange, funny, unexplained and simply weird experiences both the Ghost Hunters and other Roto-Rooter plumbers have witnessed over the years involving pipes, drains, sinks and toilets inside America’s homes and businesses.
“There’s a story about a Roto-Rooter man called to unclog drains at a Florida alligator farm who worked in waist-deep water while handlers kept gators at bay with prods. Another story deals with a kitchen sink drain clogged from end to end with broken glass from a full case of beer bottles that had been pushed down the garbage disposal at a party. ‘Chilling Tales’ features toilet trivia and even a chapter that tells the Ghost Hunters’ inspiring story,” the release says
There are some really great stories in this book that chronicles the funny, the weird and the just plain strange. Makes a perfect gift for almost anyone on your list and is affordable at $12.95.
Feel free to check out www.chillytales.com for purchasing information, reviews and excerpts.
AND, you can enter to win it here. Two (2) lucky readers will each win a copy of the book.
To Enter: Visit www.chillytales.com and leave me a comment telling me what your craziest Porcelain Seat tale is. Mine? It would have to be the time that my son flushed an owl figurine down the toilet. The thing is…it made this weird noise and I didn’t KNOW that was what he had done. So all I knew was that the toilet was stopped up and making weird noises even when no one was in there. It was kinda scary at night when all of a sudden you would be just about asleep and all of a sudden hear a screaching sound coming from the bathroom.

Winners will be selected at random and will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail.

In this edition of the Holiday Gift Guide I am going to tell you about a great book that you can give a loved one to curl up by the fire with. They will become so engrossed in Emma’s story that they won’t want to put it down.
Starting at first bite, Predatoress * The Tale of How I Defeated Dracula and Became a Force for Good Is Finally Told * by Emma Gabor is a story of a how an 18 year old Hungarian girl named Emma becomes a Vampire and walks you through her journey of good and evil.
Predatoress Gift Set
After being bitten and transformed into a Vampire, Emma doesn’t want to walk through her new “life” as an undead alone so she turns her best friends into vampires. The story is told through Emma’s eyes and draws the reader in through her emotions, actions, and her despair at what she has become. I don’t want to tell you too much for it is a story that you must read for yourself. But as a reluctant vampire who thirsts for blood and her despair over what she has become who finds love in an unlikely place you will find compassion for her plight and you will root her on in her quest to find a cure. It is a classic tale of good triumphing over evil (vampirism), with the heroine being both the victim and the conqueror of evil. So if you are looking for a good read this winter, you should check out Predatoress!
