My Favorite Bad Boy - FREE
February 13 - 17, 2016
on Amazon.com
Edward Guernsey-Crock became such an important character that
several reviewers mention him in their Reviews of The Legends of the Winged Scarab series. (Alas, as time and the
series progress, the delightful Edward turns a lot less ‘charming’ and increasingly
villainous; I enjoyed writing about him. I guess, even good girls become
fascinated with bad boys.)
From The Nile Conspiracy (Book 5):
"Not only
has Borg published four [five] full length books, there is a novella that enlightens us about one of
the main protagonists, Edward. I
haven’t read it yet, but I did buy it, for it seems key to grappling with this
vital character."
"Borg's
narrative is eloquent, witty and stylish; her characters are memorable and
there is a great balance between ironic detachment and powerful dramatic
involvement."
* * *
"Borg
takes her characters and story to different types of adventures and genres."
From The Crystal Curse (Book 4):
"Are there
other books by this author that might also be helpful? An intriguing novella, Edward, Con Extraordinaire, Stories of
Deceit nicely deals with one of the main characters and, due to its
brevity, provides a nice relief."
* * *
"A few
characters [Edward] from the
previous books also make an appearance here to add to Jonathan and Naunet's
discomfort."
From After the Cataclysm (Book 3):
"Borg's
characters all grow in this book, some in ways more pleasant than others." [Oh,
yeah. Edward is becoming slimier by
the day.]
From Sirocco, Storm over Land and Sea (Book 2):
"Edward convinces Naunet to join him for lunch and the
adventure begins... He and Karakurt have taken two of the tablets. They need
Naunet to clear and translate them. She is kidnapped."
*
Several Reviewers could see Edward played by David Niven ("at his most cheeky"); In a movie-version (don't I wish) I see my Brit dashingly portrayed by a younger Charles Dance (as in White Mischief, or Pasquale's Island). What do you think?Wednesday, February 10, 2016
Festival of Drunkenness
In today’s newsletter from an interesting site
called Ancient Origins (- Check it out on the web -) one of the articles is titled,
“Provocative Yet
Sacred: The Ancient Egyptian Festival of Drunkenness.”
Those Ancient Egyptians knew how to live.
Note the Scarab -
My "Legends of the Winged Scarab" fit right in with this story.

Rowing Across the Atlantic
In today’s news, an intrepid group of men is setting
out to row across the Atlantic from Portugal all the way down to Venezuela. Not
in a comfy yacht or even sailboat. They are hoping to accomplish this audacious
feat in an open rowboat!

Their projected route is of particular interest to me since I am describing almost the same route (in reverse) in my novel, After the Cataclysm, Book 3 of the Legends of the Winged Scarab series.
Except, I am giving my protagonists a little more protection
against the elements in their 34-foot Pilothouse Fisher, a sturdy sailboat (they make it, too).
Quite a difference, isn't it?
As a sailing enthusiast, my best wishes go
with these men.
I will be following Team
Essence on their progress to their hopefully successful completion all the way.
