Twitter Tuesday~Rachel Jameson

-
Rachel and I met on Twitter through a mutual writer friend and am really glad we did. Her tweets (Twitter entries for you non-Twitter folks) are informative and often so funny I have to be careful not to drink my coffee when I'm reading them. Like me, Rachel didn't start out writing in the genre she's come to love. She sort of stumbled upon romance one day and discovered it was the one. It can happen to any of us, preconceived notions about what a genre is all about can keep us from our calling. Rachel now writes historical romance and is working hard toward publication.

If you're looking to connect with other writers who are supportive, helpful, and a blast to get to know, be sure to look her up.

    Hi! Sorry, it's been an insane day, to say the least! Tree fell down from the rain and the wind, blocked the drive, but luckily no one hurt, and not much damage. Mostly a pain in the ass *G*
    Thank you hun! I'm so glad we ended up meeting as well! And how sweet this is! You rock!

    Off to pass out *G*

    Just heed Lindsey's warning Alissa, put the coffee or soda down before reading Rachel's tweets! LOL! And you're very welcome Rachel, much deserved!

Movie Review: 47 Ronin

For those who don't know, I love martial arts. It has been an integral part of my life since I was fifteen. I absolutely love a well choreographed fight scene. While I'm not big on the traditional old foreign martial arts film style of using wires to an extreme, I do love an excellent martial arts movie. 47 Ronin surprised me in a very big, and wonderful, way. I'm not sure why, but I didn't expect much out of it. Unfortunately that means I didn't go see it in the theater and I regret that deeply. This would have been phenomenal on the big screen. The story was excellent, a good, Americanized retelling of the tale of the 47 Ronin. The acting was compelling and I loved Keannu in this role. His fight scenes in particular were quite spectacular. I was reminded of Brad Pitt's scenes in Troy, only better. Yes, you read that right. Keannu's fight scenes were even better. I can hardly believe I wrote that, being such a big fan of Brad in Troy. But there you have
