Bella Street Romance Goes Retro

As a huge fan of the show 24 , I'm absolutely thrilled Jack is back. We need him--especially since Breaking Bad has ended, and Justified and Downtown Abbey are between seasons. And one thing about Jack--he's always on time--even when he's running out of it. Day 9 opens with Jack wanted by the government as a suspect in a planned hit on the president. William Devane returns to the show, this time as President Heller (we loved him as Secretary of Defense) and this plot line is especially dear to my heart as it involves Audrey Raines--the great love of Jack's life (post Teri).   Aww, yeah.  Another favorite is of course, Chloe. She's had her own ups and downs as well as killer mood swings that make Jack yell.    Love ya, Little Miss Snarky. There are a thousand other reasons to love 24 , but perhaps the most endearing are the Jack Bauer sayings and motivational posters littering the web. I leave you with a few awesome offerings: ...

Jessica Aspen of Paranormal Freebies nominated my blog for a The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award . Is there any doubt why? I know, right?

Which means my brain is mush. So blame them if you don't like my books. It's prolly their fault. 3. My favorite TV show of all time is a tie-between Buffy The Vampire Slayer and 24 . It's not that much of a stretch if you think about it. Both leads are anti-heroes, both destined to serve others to their own detriment...plus Keifer was a vamp in Lost Boys . 4. Since neither of those shows are on the air any longer (and I'm embarrassed to admit how m...

“ Honestly, you’re the angriest man I’ve ever known .” Raylan Givens is told this by his ex-wife. And it was at that point I knew this was a great show (with seriously kickin' music ). Justified is about a U.S. Marshal (played by Timothy Olyphant) who is being sent back to his hometown of Kentucky in reprimand for a shooting. He killed a bad guy, who pulled first. He was justified. But there's so much more to the soft-spoken lawman than being good at his job. There's an inner rage couched in the veneer of being on the right side of the law. It's no wonder he hooks up with a Southern Belle who killed her husband. She was justified, too.
