With many thanks again to the crazy talented Kelly Leslie, it's finally here: the blood red cover of God & King!

You say "gryphon I say "griffin," but however you spell it, I think he's pretty darn fantabulous all stepping on a sword and clutching a cross with his talons saying, "Yeah, I'm a mythical beast, but I can take you twenty times to next Tuesday, pipsqueak." 

But what will his name be? 
Well, you tell me, and win!


Make sure to sign up for my newsletter (if you're not already), then put your name suggestion below. The winning name gets a FREE electronic ARC of God & King!

And yeah, no, he won't be named Bob. You can come stronger than that people.

It’s the 4th of July! Time to fire up that grill, eat vast amounts of complex carbs in the form of mayonaised salads and flag cakes, and attempt to not blow off an appendage or set your neighbor's house on fire! 

But we all know you can’t be outside all weekend, so what’s a patriot to do? Watch a movie. Of course. So here’s my list of favorite patriotic movies for your viewing pleasure.

A couple of notes before we get started: I found it disturbing that the majority of the movies considered patriotic were about war. There’s a longer blog post in there somewhere, but suffice it to say, I tried to limit the war themes. Because, ya know, I don’t find killing people patriotic. Even if they are Nazis. 

Second, we love ourselves some Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, people! Nary a “patriotic” film without a Tom. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Especially when a volleyball scene is involved.

Song & Dance
