Tuesday Tunes – Christmas Music (Let There Be Peace on Earth, Thank You Very Much, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Tuesday Tunes – Christmas Music (Let There Be Peace on Earth, Thank You Very Much, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

For my first Tuesday Tunes post, I had to decide what genre to focus on. My tastes are a bit eclectic – I like country music, folk music, oldies, Broadway tunes, and music from various children/family movies (Disney movies, CG movies, and that sort of thing). As for what to choose, I figured I should display something that is in keeping with the Christmas season! But what a problem that is – I love so many Christmas songs that choosing…

Merry Mischief, Chapter 2

Merry Mischief, Chapter 2

And here we are with the second chapter of Merry Mischief! To read Chapter 1, click here. Chapter 2 Elizabeth had hoped that the sheer power of her will might enable her to withstand the vacuous absurdities of her cleric of a cousin, but unfortunately, she had not accounted for how pointed his attentions toward her would be. That he should act in such a manner despite how he had previously seemed to understand—and accept!—her rejection of his marriage proposal was…

Tsundere

Tsundere

I will freely admit that I love reading or watching a good tsundere love interest – whether it is the female lead or the male lead – and just wanted to briefly touch upon the type. A tsundere character is a character that initially seems mean, harsh, cold, and/or snobbish – only later to show a warmer and gentler side. Because it is a Japanese term, it is not always easy for English-speaking people to pronounce it, but it is…

American Thanksgiving

American Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans out there! I’ve included an image of my little turkey from last year. Hard to believe how time has flown! Thanksgiving is such a great holiday–we get to gather with our family, express how thankful we are to have them, and eat delicious food! I look forward every year to turkey, broccoli rice casserole, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, rolls (Sister Schubert or Hawaiian sweet bread!), and a few other dishes. My husband does all the…

Remembrance Day / Veterans’ Day

Remembrance Day / Veterans’ Day

In Canada, they call it Remembrance Day. In the U.S., they call it Veterans’ Day. For both countries (and many other countries), it is simply about honoring those who have served their country and protecting its rights. We would like to take a little time to honor some family members who committed themselves to serving their countries. Lelia My father was in the Army Reserves and could have been called to war, though he was not. He has told me…

Trivia Thursday

Trivia Thursday

Today is Trivia Thursday, where we intrigue the trivia buff in you with a bit of trivia! I wanted to do something with a tinge of romance to it, and the Eiffel Tower came to mind as a romantic location. Here are some fun factoids: When it comes to monuments you have to pay to visit, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument in the entire world! On average, 25,000 people ascend the tower every day. (I cannot even imagine…

A Glimmer of Gold

A Glimmer of Gold

  Welcome to our blog, a Glimmer of Gold. This blog represents the blood, sweat, and tears of writers Jann Rowland, Lelia Eye, and Colin Rowland. Well, minus the blood, perhaps. We first ventured out into the publishing world by publishing variations on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, but our interests are varied. While many of our works contain the common thread of romance, we have no intention of limiting ourselves to that. The sky’s the limit, so to speak, but…
