Yes you read that right, there will be a Titanic part deux. It seems Austrailan multi-millionare mining tycoon Clive Palmer feels that this marvelous ship should sail the seas again and I don't blame him. I myself have always been facinated with this massive ship and it's shortlived life. The story behind it and the story that brought it to its end down beneath the great Atlantic Ocean.
This time however Mr. Palmer doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of the doomed claims of the ship being "unsinkable". When asked if he could claim the ship just that, he replied: “Anything will sink if you put a hole in it. I think it would be very cavalier
to say it. I think people in the past have done that and lived to regret it.”
Blueprints have revealed this second Titantic will almost be a replica of the first. The only changes are air conditioning, a hospital and a helipad. Palmer also claims the three passenger classes aboard ship will go as it did in 1912- no mingling. Replica clothing will also be provided for those who would like to "play dressup."
As for the photographer aboard ship, whomever her or he should be, I'm sure lot's of mula will be made at the bow of that ship just to capture a shot of the infamous "I'm King of the world!"
Well there ya go. I must confess, I'm excited. How about you?

Is love stronger than race?
The world is changing as
we know it, the human race is dwindling, but so are the angels. In order to
preserve their bloodlines they have bred with humans, creating a new race called
Nephilim. But there is one race that is more endangered than humans or Seraphim,
Archangels. As most people believe the Archangels have become extinct,
rumours surface of a Legend; that a baby was born out of flame, the offspring of
an archangel.
Dyston Blackbell is tasked to find and protect this child.
He sends her strange dreams in hope that she will find him. When he discovers
that she has enrolled at his family’s angel academy in Melbourne, he will do
anything to protect Scarlett. But when he finds himself falling for her the
Heavenly realm rejects him thus turning his wings black.
But 21-year-old
Scarlett Porter realises that being half Archangel has some advantages. She has
developed a unique trait, one that marks her as an Archangel. Will she keep it
to herself or use it to fight back?
When an old enemy resurfaces, The
Lucifites, Scarlett discovers that Dyston’s older brother Lakyn is at the helm
of their sinister plans; to destroy the Nephilim race or use Scarlett for their
own selfish purposes when they find out who she really is.
And when Lakyn
discovers that Scarlett had only seduced him to rescue Dyston from his prison in
the Realm of Light, it sends him on a journey of self-discovery and destruction.
One that sees him venturing farther off course than his father would like. Will
he choose a new life of love or his old life of darkness?
L.L. Hunter I am an Australian author who started writing when I was fifteen or sixteen,
originally song lyrics but then moved onto fanfiction when I was nineteen.
Having published over 20 stories online, one of which was nominated for an
award. I have also written, directed and starred in two original plays entitled
"No Frills Airlines: Flight 123" and the sequel "No frills Airlines: Come Fly
with Us" the latter of which was a musical.
The Chronicles of Fire and Ice is a book like no other. I have
to say that I absolutely love this book and I can't wait for book two. The cover
first off is so eye catching it grabs you and makes you want to read it right
away. So I was so excited when I saw this book was going to be on a blog tour I
had to sign up. I am so glad I did because when I started reading I was
introduced to a new world and everyone who knows me knows I love angel stories
and so when I started reading the blurb I was like oh man I am so gonna love
this story and you know what I do because L.L. Hunter did such a superb job of
describing this new world that the moment you start reading it you are
captivated and can't put the book down!

even more surprised to find out that she is a witch, and the last of her

becomes more powerful as she gains confidence and knowledge, but danger lurks
everywhere. Especially when unknown assailants steal the most important gems
from the vampire master and werewolf royalty.
Now surrounded by a world
full of mystifying vampires and werewolves, can Faith gain enough power to help
her friends and rescue the stolen gems?
Vampyre Kisses Excerpt By: Elizabeth J. Kolodziej
After a half hour, I decided to sit down for a minute to catch my breath. I ordered
a shot and a water to get some liquid into me, and searched around for Mac. He wasn’t
visible anywhere over the mass of bobbing heads and twisting bodies. As I continued
to look around, I noticed two men at a corner table observing the dancers. One of the
men must have felt my eyes on him, because he turned to look at me. He gave me a half
smile and got out of his seat to walk over to my table. A slower-paced song with a good
beat came on.
I looked up into his pale green eyes and he offered his hand. I took it, and
he led me to the dance floor. He put his strong hands on my back and we moved to the
music. His curly dark reddish-brown hair fell past his ears and framed his flawless oval
face, complemented by deep-set round eyes and a pointed nose. He licked his thick lips
and showed his perfect white teeth with a small smile. With my heels on, our eyes met
perfectly opposite one another. His silk black shirt swayed back and forth as we moved.
A few buttons were undone to show his smooth chest. Leather pants hung on his hips
that pressed against my bare thighs at different points when we moved. We stared at
each other during each song that played; I felt like a feather floating in the warm brisk
air.
With a tap on my shoulder, I turned around to find Mac staring at me, then at the
man. He put his lips to my ear: “I need to talk to you for a sec.” I turned back to the man
and put one finger up to let him know I would be right back. He nodded, and I turned to
follow Mac off the dance floor.
“That man is bad news,” he said, his lips next to my ear.
I just love variations to the vampire/ werewolf
storytelling theme and in Elizabeth Kolodziej’s story you
not only get a new variation to the mythical creatures, you also get a few more
added to the bunch! Not only is there vampires and werewolves, you also have
witches, goddesses, shape shifters and more. Something I really liked about
this book and in the way the author connected them clicked perfectly in place
and worked well with each another.
In stories the most important thing is
characters you can really connect with and I could with the characters in
Vampyre Kisses. I really liked Faith, her personality, her spirit and her
determination. As for Trent, I can
imagine how good looking he is and loved his perspective of things. He was a
gentleman and I really liked relationship between him and Faith. Then there is Morgan,
who is one tough vampire and Mac, who is so loveable and huggable!
Inside the story of Vampyre Kisses, I
can promise you, you will not know how it will unfold. Predictablity is not a
word I would even think to use in describing this tale. There were twists that
kept me intrigued and interactions/ perspectives that meshed very well
together. Inside this story, you not only get Faiths side of the story, you
also get Trent’s and Morgan’s. Sometimes when authors tell their stories
jumping between perspectives, it can leave the reader confused at times, but
not so with this book. I found the transitions to be perfectly placed and never
felt lost at all. I also believe these transfers added to the story, making it
even better.
I just loved Oran…too cute! Who wouldn’t
want a pet like him!
As for the ending, I must agree with
some of the other readers, I think the battle should have played out a little
more, but…BUT! I also wasn’t disappointed on how it did play out. I was left
content with the outcome and drooling for the continuation in which I was privy
to a sneak peek and WOW! Nothing predictable there, in fact much unexpected and
now I am so ready to dive into the next book of this series.
All in all, I say a job well done author
Elizabeth Kolodzej…this gal definitely did her research and gave us a story worthy
of a five star review.
Thanks for the drop by and do snatch up yourself a copy of this incredible book, its a great deal!
