Music Monday – Imagine Dragons: Demons

by Mlissa | May 8, 2017 | Music Monday

This is for my son who turned 18 yesterday... He has always been about music that moves him and touches him. No one he goes to school with listens to what he does, be it Imagine Dragons, RED, Chevelle, Breaking Benjamin, etc... He's always been his own person, with...

Music Monday – Harry Styles: Sign of the Times

by Mlissa | Apr 24, 2017 | Music Monday

I'm going to confess something here. I was shocked and amazed and completely speechless after watching Harry Styles' performance on Saturday Night Live a week or so ago. His song Sign of the Times has been stuck in my head ever since. As I was working on this post and...

Music Monday – Lady Gaga: Million Reasons

by Mlissa | Apr 17, 2017 | Music Monday

I've been listening to a lot of different music lately. And when I say different, I mean, I'm all over the place. I haven't gotten crazy, but I've been stepping into alternate comfort zones with what I'm listening to and what I'm searching for... Lady Gaga is one of...

Let’s Talk Bear Shifters…

by Mlissa | Apr 11, 2017 | Kindle Worlds, Shifters, writing

Because there seems to be some confusion. In the beginning of Bear Haven, I said this: The ride in general isn’t over, but the ride in the Southern Shifters Kindle World, for me, is. At least for these characters. At least for the foreseeable future. So, lets clarify...

Music Monday – ZZ Ward: Last Love Song

by Mlissa | Apr 10, 2017 | Music Monday

I'm going through a weird sad song phase right now, so... It's possible that for the next few weeks you'll see sad song videos... And it's likely going to be reflected in some new writing... Just warnin' ya... Now this girl's voice... Oh my... It's different, soulful....

It's pretty, ain't it!?! *squee* Wild Ever After is hot, short, a bit emotional. It's a forty-something married couple who've been apart for a while and a decision had to...

Music Monday – Miranda Lambert: Vice

by Mlissa | Apr 3, 2017 | Music Monday

I am in love with this song... I love her in general. But I am in love with this song, have listened to it dozens of times in several days, and it has sparked an idea... I'll let you know if it develops into something... But for now, have a listen and have a good...

Music Monday – Duran Duran: Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)

by Mlissa | Mar 27, 2017 | Music Monday

33 years and 2 days ago, I saw Duran Duran in concert for the first time and fell in love with them. I mean, I was already in love with them, but seeing them live and in person solidified the love affair for years to come... That love is still very much alive and...

Music Monday – Lindsey Stirling: Beauty and the Beast

by Mlissa | Mar 13, 2017 | Music Monday

With the live action adaptation of Disney's Beauty and the Beast coming out this week and all the excitement (Luke Evens, I mean C'mon now... The man is... and yes, Emma Watson, she's absolutely perfect as Belle), I thought Lindsey Stirling's musical interpretation is...
