Posts: 68 03/14/09 23:48:38	March 15 Update: Whispers of the Muse *Hi everybody!* Welcome to this week's update at *Whispers of the Muse, http://www.whispersofthemuse.org/* Life has been maddening with no sign of slowing as spring approaches. Perhaps there are nymphs or fairies messing with me? Who knows? Hollywood is a weird place to be living no matter what time of year it is. All in all there is a lot going on. For one thing, I've been working on a new novel that has caught the attention of two literary agents. It's called "*Cold in* *California" and I've decided to give you all a sneak peak. This is a tongue-in-cheek vampire story with a unique twist. Take a look and let me know what you think. Now, on to this week's update … In the Literary Section, check out chapter 1* of the all *NEW* novel, *"Cold in* *California" by Deborah Riley-Magnus. What happens to a vampire after he dies? Really and truly finally dies. Aside from the stake-in-the-heart, crumbling-of-flaky-burned-flesh, what really happens? This fantasy fiction novel playfully explores these questions and proposes that even the worst of the supernatural world get one more chance to earn heaven or hell. In the Celestial Series,* *Ben Wade* returns in the *NEW* "*The Devil's Boundaries"* pt. 12 by Riley. What has Lucifer got up his sleeve? While Ben prepares to go back after surgery on his wrist, all hell is breaking out at the Circle Ranch Clinic. *Crowe Fanfiction Longs, the all NEW Terry Thorne* story, *"The Downtime Woman" pt. 16* by Riley will return next week. *NEW* in *Crowe Fanfiction Longs, Captain Jack Aubrey* in *"Fortuna's Favourite" chapter 13* by Jackie. The Duchess of Marlborough has exactly the solution Jack needs … as well as the lips he desires. *The* *1876 Manor Chronicles* continues with the *NEW "From the Cinders", pt. 2* by the Chronicles Collaborative (Riley, Natalie, Meredith, Jessie and Jackie). John attempts to distract Riley from seeing the damaged Inn; young Jacob enjoys himself as he and his father, *Egan, stay with Lachlan* and Jessie; Natalie and *Jack* welcome the new addition to their family, but young Eddie might not be so happy with his new home; the lights are going on for *Kevin Boyer* about the family; *Max Skinner* is out peddling his wares; and Riley copes with the changes the fire has caused. *Another Take Ben Wade* and *Cort* continue their common journey in the *NEW "Sure as God's Vengeance" pt. 9* by Riley. This one will also return next week. Thanks for following so loyally! In the *Literary* section, *Quentin Finch* is back in the *NEW "Twist of Fate"* chapter 13, by Jackie. It's Taz and Quent's last night together for a while and the passion is wild with need. Enjoy, and see you all next week!

Posts: 68 03/21/09 21:59:18	March 22 NEWS Hi everybody! Just want to share some news about *Whispers of the Muse,* http://www.whispersofthemuse.org/. We have a temporary change in our update schedule and some wonderful new surprises ahead! First, *from now through May 3^rd, we will be updating every two weeks instead of weekly.* *The next update will be next week,* *March 29, 2009. There are some cool reasons for all this. Here's the news! Natalie* *is beginning work on a full redesign for Whispers of the Muse. It will be chalk full of changes, enhancements and refocuses and of course, it will take a while. Until that's ready (E.T.A early August) things will continue to look the same and updates will carry on. NOTE: We are currently sending out a call for Literary Submissions!* Next, our dear *Jessie* is working hard to get her new site, *The Illuminated Crowe, launched by the end of April. This is something you will all want to see! (Nat and I have had a peak and man, it will be gorgeous!) Our newest Chronicles Collaborator, Jackie* is currently on overload with her job as a publisher's editor over there in wild and crazy Amsterdam. Plus, she rocking and rolling with her rock and roll band. Extraordinarily talented lady! As for me, I've got to focus and finish the novel, *Cold in California; a novel for which a few agents have already asked for more chapters. It's a big, bad no-no* to send out queries on unfinished works. See, now I'm paying for it, LOL. In the meantime, we are all continuing our work on next week's Muse stories. You will see all *NEW* chapters of *Terry* in *Downtime Woman; Ben* in *The Devil's Boundaries; Everyone* in *The 1876 Manor Chronicles; Captain Jack* in *Fortuna's Favourite; another sneak-peak chapter of Cold in California; and Quent and Tazzi* in *Twist of Fate* and of course, *Ben* and *Cort* and maybe a few more *Another Take* parts… all next week! We look forward to seeing you then! Take care and write on! Debbie, Natalie and Jessie

Posts: 68 06/20/09 21:04:00	June 21 LITERARY Update: Whispers of the Muse *Hello Readers!!* Welcome to this week's update at *Whispers of the Muse, http://www.whispersofthemuse.org/* As explained last update letter, we are now *alternating* our content for updates. This week, we're proud to feature wonderful *Literary* work! (Next week, we'll be doing a *Fanfiction* update.) Today we're thrilled to shine the *Spotlight* on author Fred Limberg and his thriller, *"Ferris' Bluff". We also have a wonderful piece of Poetry, "Love in the Void"* from Marc Nash. Let's get to it! * Our NEW AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT this week features an interesting interview with Fred Limberg about his work and especially his thriller novel, "Ferris' Bluff". SNEAK PEEK Chapter 1 of the all NEW novel, "Ferris' Bluff"** by Fred Limberg. The quiet Arkansas town of Ferris' Bluff in the Ouachita Mountains is turned upside down after Ace Evans, ex-undercover operative, arrives! *SNEAK PEEK* *Story #8* from the all *NEW* collection, *"The Promises we Make"* by Michael Wells. In this 1877 Western, a white man attempts to honorably keep his promise to a Nez Perce friend. *SNEAK PEEK* *Chapter 3* of the all *NEW* novel, *"Quest"* by Raven Dane. "Quest" is a scurrilous, irreverent adult fable of Morven the Unwise Woman and those who seek her dubious help on their noble quests for glory. *NEW LITERARY POETRY (in Literary Shorts section), "Love in the Void"* by Marc Nash. A master of words and the most powerful ways to use them, Marc Nash offers this beautiful, dynamic poem that deeply touched me, a woman with very low PT (Poetry Tolerance). Trust me, this is so worth a read! Also in our *LITERARY SECTIONS* we'd like to remind you to revisit some of the wonderful *Literary Longs* we have from Michael McClean, Skip, Elise and Riley. In the *Literary Shorts* section are many short literary stories you might have missed from Marc Nash, K.L. Preston, Darcy, Monique, Elise, Uma and Riley. And *OH GEEZE, don't forget to skip over to Erotica* for a few sizzling stories to make the summer just a little hotter! Enjoy, and *see you all next week with the Fanfic update. Of course, as always, thank you all so much for reading at Whispers of the Muse!* Write on! Riley and Natalie
