Hump Day Ha Ha’s

Chrishome

Welcome back to Make Me Laugh Wednesday, or Hump Day Ha Ha’s, or whatever you want to call it. The last joke is for Supernatural fans, and it is my favorite.

Winter Wonderland

Chrishome

Today’s post is dedicated to the winter wonderland most of us have been living in for the past few months. By wonderland, I mean: 1. I wonder if I’ll ever see the grass again. 2. I wonder if I’ll be able to stop wearing Cuddle Duds under my regular clothes any time soon. 3. I wonder when the air will stop … Read More

Wondering About Wednesday

Chrishome

I started Monday morning by breaking my car key off in the ignition of my car. Before you assume I have biceps of steel, allow me to explain. The key was fifteen years old. It was the kind with the plastic clicky-fob-thing that allows you to unlock your door from ten feet away if you’re lucky. Anyway, the plastic fob … Read More

Minion Meme

Chrishome

I love the Minions from Despicable Me. Today I am sharing some Minion Meme humor.  

Meet Jaxon Westgate

Chrishome, YA

In the Going Down In Flames series, Jaxon Westgate is the son of the man Bryn’s mom jilted. He’s been raised to despise her because she damaged his family’s reputation and standing in the dragon community. He insults her, and she shoots a fireball at his head.

Trial By Fire

Chrishome

I feel like sharing today, so here is the rough draft version of the first chapter of Book 3 in the Going Down In Flames series, Trial By Fire.    “Jaxon, I swear to God, if you don’t stop bitching,  I will set your hair on fire.”  Bryn spoke through clenched teeth as she smiled and nodded at the students … Read More

Brain Candy – Revisited

Chrishome, young adult

Wednesday snuck by me this week, so I’m revisiting a past post about why I write what I write. What do you want from a book? I want a fast-paced, fun, roller-coaster-ride of a read. Do you like cliffhanger endings? In one of my favorite series, The Morganville Vampires, every book ends with a main character dying or on the … Read More

All that Glitters

Chrishome

I was lucky enough to be asked to do an interview for Glitter magazine. Today I’m sharing the questions they asked and my answers. You can find the link to the original article at the end of this post. GLITTER: Tell us 5 random facts about yourself. CHRIS:  I have 3 dogs, so my entire house is furry and so … Read More

Today’s Make me laugh Wednesday is made of random quotes and images that made me smile. Have a great day.  

Southern Illinois Weather Woes

Chrishome

I live in Southern Illinois where the weather ranges from Holy-Crap-It’s-So-Cold-I-Can’t-Feel-My-Fingers to Holy-Crap-It’s-So-Hot-That-My-Waterproof-Mascara-Is-Running-Down-My-Face.  There are occasional nice days in October where we hit that magical fifty to seventy degree mark where it doesn’t hurt to breathe, you can feel all your appendages, and your makeup actually stays on your face. Today is not one of those days. Today it is 34 … Read More

Bookish Humor

Chrishome

Today’s post features a little bookish humor. The last one is my favorite.

Author Release Week Mania

Chrishome, Paranormal Young Adult, YA

My husband was a little concerned for me, since Bridges Burned (Book 2 in the Going Down In Flames series) came out on Monday. Apparently, I acted a bit manic when Going Down In Flames came out last June. Something about hitting refresh over and over again to check for reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and freaking out when people didn’t … Read More

Author Nerves Explained by Supernatural Gifs

Chrishome

How does an author feel the day before a book release? Bridges Burned releases tomorrow, so I thought I’d explain author nerves through Supernatural gifs. At first, you’re excited that your book is about to be released into the wild.          Then you click over to Goodreads to see if anyone with an advanced reader copy has … Read More
