New Writing Stuff, Vintage Punk, Movie Stuff & DBML

It’s been aaaages or so it seems since I last posted…

I think I'm still a little in love with the guys in Objects, and I wrote it! Ha! Anyways, I'm aiming for that level of emotional intensity and more with the main project I'm working on.

I’ve finally got back to writing solidly after a wicked long break and some not fun life events. I did get Angel Angel written though! Timing wise, it’s all coincided with a new job & a ton more travel time. Hell, there are worse things! Either way, this story is full-on emotional intensity, pedal to the metal, my lovelies! So hopefully heartstrings and other vital organs will be tugged!

And since I always seem to post about movies, welll… Cloud Atlas is playing (again) as I’m writing, and I am still in a state of awe and astonishment at that movie. When I can give it the care it deserves, I’ll post about it.

One of my favorite actors, Ben Wishaw is in it, an amazing cast altogether, but the Frobisher/Sixsmith storyline is a heartbreaker.

Give it a try. Even if you hate it, you’ll have experienced something astonishing and rare. Or you too may fall in love with it, and what could be better?

But before you go, have a listen to this. Still outrageous, right? It’s one of the songs kicking about as background while I’m driving. Considering my current subject, it’s inspirational :)

Iggy Pop & Lust For Life + Movie of The Week: Fight Club

I'm binging on rock stars and blood-letting at the moment … somehow the two go so well together.

So hitting a few RS bio's, but one I haven't but should is James Newell Osterberg Jr's, AKA Iggy. I saw him waaay back when and he was just as fabulous as you'd think and then some. Talk about punk aerobics! Something tells me he'll still be bending brain cells when he's wheeled onstage at 90!

So it's a short post, cos I'm tired and it's Monday night here :(

Have fun, my lovelies, & thank you for taking part in the Blogger Girls guest post & giveaway.

Now, one last thing: binge on this & my fave nominated movie for this week, Fight Club, with the fabulous Mr Pitt, Mr Norton & the f+k off brilliant H Bonham Carter.

Well, hell, I posted about some Audrey Hepburn sixties greatness  

the other week. Chick flick stuff. This week, well … all I can say about Fight Club is, WATCH IT…

Oh, and hit http://youtu.be/jQvUBf5l7Vw for some classic Iggy goodness.

Movie Comfort Food … & Which Would U Be? Buffy Or Drusilla?

We’ve all got our own personal comfort food. Mashed potato, mac and cheese, whatever.

Comfort reads, too. Books you go to because you love them, and you know that once you sink into that world, you may find new things but there is a wonderful familiarity there as well.

Comfort TV shows? Well, we had a Buffy marathon here over the weekend. And then of course, there is Angel, which, gotta confess, I like even more. Although for power couples nothing betters Spike and Drusilla, the Sid and Nancy of the vamp world. I’d like to think in one of those ‘which character are you?’ quizzes I’d come out as Buffy. Something tells me I’m a little more Drusilla! The traces of Goth still linger...

But comfort movies ... well, right now, I’m writing and there is a classic Sam Peckinpah/Steve McQueen movie playing, The Getaway. I love tough guy movies, action flicks, Vin Diesel (although that could be The Voice) and Jason Statham is a riot in the Transporter movies through to Revolver, a Guy Ritchie number that is one addictive, truly underrated mindf*ck.

But the subject WAS comfort movies ... which leads me to two sixties classics and Audrey Hepburn. And these ARE chick flicks, I happily admit :) The first would be Charade, a great movie she made with Cary Grant. The second would be How To Steal A Million, co-starring Peter O’Toole.

The sixties seemed to burst at the seams with caper movies (as these two could be classed, I guess). I don’t know why, maybe it was a spillover from all the James Bond flicks hitting the screens. But those two movies, I promise, are guaranteed to make you feel that in some corner of the world (namely Paris, where they are both set), it is possible that once upon a time everyone was beautiful, chic, witty and wonderful.

And while you watch one of those films, that’s exactly the world you’ll be living in.

Delicious. For an hour and a half, two hours, feet up on the couch and chilling with your friends or honey after one tough bastard of a day or week, what more could you want?

Enjoy,

Xoxo

Angel Angel, Burning Bright (The Seven Deadly Sins .2.)

Just pubbed at Amazon & Smashwords, Angel Angel, Burning Bright, the second in the Seven Deadly Sins standalone stories series. The first was Cash: Angel, Demon, Rock Star.

It's taken me ages to get this one out! I've also been working on a book that's in the pipeline, but I'm back up to speed so it won't take so damned long getting it out there.

Like Cash, this story is about choices made and consequences. Oh, and has some very interesting detours along the way ;)

The story unrolled in one piece, complete with characters, scenes and ending. I know which guy is my favourite, can't help it, I do love a bad boy :) I know they weren't what I'd been expecting when thinking about the next in the series, nor the premise. But they were fun to write & I was happy they dropped by for that visit :)

Here is the blurb…

ANGEL ANGEL BURNING BRIGHT

What happens when Management offers up two supernatural beings so darkly seductive, in a test so twisted, that their target cannot choose between them?

Michael Rei has been called a musical genius. His life revolves around the concert stage. At nineteen, the threat of death lays behind, and the world lays before him. But something strange and alluring comes calling at the height of his triumph. Two men, that he, torn between brilliance and innocence, cannot resist.

The stakes are high. The highest. But Michael is greedy. He can have both men, for a while... But once he choses between the two, the consequences will be eternal...

A standalone, second in the Seven Deadly Sins series, after Cash: Angel, Demon, Rock Star.

Contains wicked behavior, perverse mind games, m/m/m action, a lot of sweat and a pink haired, violin-wielding best friend ready to take on any evil doers. Approx. 18,000+ words + bonus material.

MICHAEL & GABRIEL'S SOUNDTRACK + A LITTLE SEVEN DEADLY THEMED TOM WAITS, ENJOY

Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The Kill! Kill! title of that Russ Meyers number just makes me want to type FASTER! :) I’m incredibly irritated at myself, due to circus-like life dramas the last month or two jamming me spending quality time at the keyboard. Yada yada!

You see that guy on the left? That look? That’s how I feel about that wasted time, but the second Seven Deadly Sins is closing in and I’m on the homestraight.

I’ve taken an hour or two looking at pretty pix for the cover of the next Deadly Sins story. I’ve narrowed it down to three, depends how gritty versus pretty I want to go. Gotta admit, I do like gritty.

Talking about Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, its star, Tura Satana, like the brilliant Pam Grier (check her out in Tarantino’s great Jackie Brown), could power so many of the current actresses off the screen if she were hitting the scene now.

Or maybe they'd be just as sanitised and blanded down by commercial pressures as so often happens. What a huge fail if so.

Today I was guilted by three mad friends into actual big bloody walk exercise – photo proof included. Take note, cos it doesn’t happen often, I’m conserving energies :)

MUST GET BACK TO SEVEN SINS!

Meanwhile, the drop dead amazing take-no-prisoners Nina Hagen. Kind of on a vaguely Seven Deadly Sins theme (+ a very sexy guardian angel I'd like):
