Taking Charge

Book Description
From New York Times bestselling author Julia London comes the passionate, suspenseful novel based on Guiding Light, the 2007 Emmy Award-winning daytime drama.

When his true love Tammy Winslow died saving his life, Jonathan Randall had only one reason left for existing: his baby daughter Sarah. But Sarah’s great-grandfather, powerful millionaire Alan Spaulding, was obsessed with bringing her up himself. Faking his death, Jonathan fled Springfield, leaving only his mother Reva Shayne aware he and Sarah were still alive.

After being on the run for months, Jonathan comes to the sleepy town of Tourmaline, California, with no intention of staying. But ten-month-old Sarah seems strangely happy here, and Jonathan himself feels an inexplicable pull toward the town. It’s almost as if Tammy’s ghost were whispering to him that he should stay for a while. But life is hard for a bad boy trying to turn good, until a local young woman comes into his life.

Aubrey Cross isn’t quite sure what attracts her to this stranger in Tourmaline. Perhaps it’s his dark good looks; perhaps it’s because she too has always felt as if she doesn’t belong in Tourmaline, even though her father is the popular town sheriff. Aubrey alone knows that this pillar of the community is in reality a sadistic abuser.

And, of course, with a past like Jonathan’s, it’s no surprise that life doesn’t stay peaceful in Tourmaline for long. Sheriff Zeke Cross is sure there are some secrets buried, and he’s not going to rest until he uncovers them. Can Reva protect Jonathan and Sarah before they’re discovered by the dangerous Alan Spaulding?

Featuring some of Guiding Light’s favorite characters, Jonathan’s Story is the passionate tale of how Jonathan may have finally found a second chance for true love…but who knows better than Jonathan how quickly everything you love can be ripped away from you?

Book Description
Sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking, and always brutally honest, this is Rosie O’Donnell’s surprising account of the pain, regret, and euphoria involved in withdrawing from celebrity life–and the terrifying dangers of relapsing into the spotlight.

CELEBRITY DETOX is Rosie’s story of the years after she walked away from her top-rated TV show in 2002, and her reasons for going back on the air in 2006. In it, she takes you inside the world of talk show TV, speaking candidly about the conflicts and challenges she faced as cohost on ABC’s The View. Along the way Rosie shows us how fame becomes addiction and explores whether or not it’s possible for an addict to safely, and sanely, return to the spotlight.

Chronicling the ups and downs of “the fame game,” Rosie O’Donnell illuminates not only what it’s like to be a celebrity, but also what it’s like to be a mother, a daughter, a leader, a friend, a sister, a wife…in short, a human being.

NaNoWriMo sign-ups re-launch in 9 days. That means there’s 40 days until the official start. I’m still not sure what I want to work on for this year’s NaNo Novel. I have a few ideas that I’d like to work on, but I don’t know if I can get into them enough to write 1667 words a day on any of them.

So, are you doing NaNoWriMo? If so, are you on my friends list on the NaNo site? Seriously tho. I did change my user name there, so it’s uniform with everything else. It’s now mzserena so feel free to add me if you haven’t already got me on your list there.

Side Note: I need new writing icons.

We decided to shut down StarFire Radio. There are a lot of reasons for the decision, but the underlying fact remains that it wasn’t fun any more. Once a hobby is no longer fun, it’s time to reconsider it. It wasn’t an easy decision, nor was it a popular one among the DJs, but it was one that we made.

Too many people will think that this is because of other people, but it’s not. We could have kept going just to spite those who wished to see us fail, but what good would that do? It would end up causing more heartache and misery in the end. The DJs who wish to continue on will get the highest recommendations from us, they stuck by us and did well.

As for me? I’m taking time away from DJing. I’ll bounce around and listen to our DJs that go to other stations. I will support those who supported us. But I have other things in my life to focus on, like my writing and my husband and family. Maybe, down the road, you’ll be able to hear me on the air again. But it won’t be for a while.

Thank you to everyone who had a hand in StarFire Radio, be it as a DJ or a listener. We all appreciate you.
