Top Ten Reasons Why I
Love My Writing Gig
People are
always asking me why I write. The truest answer has something to do with the
fact that I can't stop writing. But I love what I do, and just in case the
benefits of my chosen profession aren't obvious to the rest of the world, here
are the top ten reasons why I absolutely love my writing gig:
10. My daily commute entails a thirty-second
shuffle from bed to desk.
9. It's nine p.m. to five a.m. and I like it
that way.
8. My supervisor is a cat.
7. I can
spend hours surfing the Internet, learning about ancient curses, medieval
remedies, magical spells, curse givers and mythological goddesses, and nobody
gives me grief about it.
6. The water
cooler is out back. If I really need cooling, I swim in it.
5. I get to
daydream and that's okay. My third grade teacher was so wrong about
daydreaming!
4. Business
casual = yoga pants. Casual Friday may occasionally involve flannel pajamas.
3. I have to read a lot to write a lot. Well, if
someone must make the tough sacrifices….
2. During work hours, I live in my own world.
Literally.
1. I get to
share my work, life and passion with amazing readers like you.

The Curse Giver
by Dora Machado (Goodreads Author)Lusielle's bleak but orderly life as a remedy mixer is shattered when she is sentenced to die for a crime she didn't commit. She's on the pyre, about to be burned, when a stranger breaks through the crowd and rescues her from the flames.
Brennus, Lord of Laonia is the last of his line. He is caught in the grip of a mysterious curse that has murdered his kin, doomed his people and embittered his life. To defeat the curse, he must hunt a birthmark and kill the woman who bears it in the foulest of ways. Lusielle bears such a mark.
Stalked by intrigue and confounded by the forbidden passion flaring between them, predator and prey must come together to defeat not only the vile curse, but also the curse giver who has already conjured their demise.
