Twitter Tuesday~Kristy Baxter

-
Kristy Baxter is a writer who loves writing (of course),the outdoors, music, oh yeah, and frog wrangling. Yep, you read that right, though you'll have to ask her about that one yourself! I've seen pictures and they're awesome. You'll definitely have to ask her about it! Like myself (and many other writers, maybe it's a writer thing) Kristy has a cat, though hers has a much more unique name than mine, Shakespeare, how awesome is that?!

Kristy's intriguing sounding young adult novel, currenlty titled Grim Light, is represented by Marlene Stringer of The Stringer Literary Agency.

As the frog wrangling probably cued you in, Kristy is a lot of fun. Follow her on Twitter and you'll see what I mean: https://twitter.com/kristophrenia

    Thanks so much for the feature, Heather! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go wrangle some frogs! (Not really, but I like to give the people what they want =)

    A frog wrangling sister! My mother-in-law has a small pond in her backyard, and when the frogs have little ones we have a fun (and funny!) time scooping them out of the pond and into buckets :-)

    That sounds like a blast Portia! I love frogs, and pretty much any reptile! Sounds like you and Kristy would get along great.

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
