Donna Grant Dishes on Fears
First, thank you, Caridad, for inviting me to guest blog!
We all have something we fear whether it’s a monster we saw in a movie or something we face every day like…oh, I don’t know…spiders. (yes, I’m deathly afraid of the little buggers).
Having those fears is partly what makes us humans. When creating characters, authors want readers to connect to those characters, to laugh with them, to cry with them, to love with them, and even to fear with them.
So, I like to give my characters fears. Little Man (my 7 year old son) thinks I’m being mean by doing this, but I like to think of it as doing what comes naturally. ïŠ After all, if I’ve got to deal with my fears daily, so do my characters.
In DANGEROUS HIGHLANDER the heroine, Cara, has a fear of the dark that borders on the extreme. When you’re poor in Medieval Scotland, you don’t waste candles when sleeping. But Cara does.
It stems from when she witnessed her parents murdered by monsters. Of course, as she grew older, she thought what she had seen was changed by her young mind. (Our minds do have a way of shifting things without us even realizing it sometimes.)
That is until she meets up with those monsters again.
How each of us face our fears is what, ultimately, shapes us into the person we are. Some run from their fears. Others face them head on. Which type are you?
I’ll be giving away a signed copy of either MUTUAL DESIRE or THE PLEASURE OF HIS BED to a commenter that tells me what their fear is.
Hugs,
D

Christmas Tree Selection!
Just a quick reminder that today I’ll be visiting JoJo’s Book Corner and we’ll be having a little giveaway! Please drop by and spend some time with us.
Yesterday we went on our annual Christmas tree hunt. We head out in the early morning and go to Anne Ellen’s Tree Farm in Manalapan where we tromp out into the fields, select a tree and chop it down. Then we head back to the farmstand to buy an ornament for each of us. It’s been our tradition for over twenty years and we really love it!
Here are some photos from this year’s Christmas tree selection. If you can’t see the slideshow down below, you can click on this link for photos of how we picked our Christmas tree.
Sexy Santa Lights
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go . . .
Including the website! We’ve decorated it a little for the holidays and I hope you like it.
So getting into the holiday mood this week in other ways. Spent all my day and evening yesterday decorating the house and moving around the tables in the dining room so we can fit in all the people that are coming for Christmas Eve. We’re expecting 27 people and am I’m so excited about it! It’s always nice to share the spirit of love and friendship at Christmas and at my house, there is always room at the inn for another person.
For today, however, we’re going to get naughty with our sexy Santa lights to help you get into the holiday spirit if you’re not already feeling it. Many thanks to my friends at the Writing Playground for originally introducing me to this wonderful man!
Pigeon Impossible!
Many thanks to my friend Karin for supplying this video for today’s Fun Friday blog! It’s very cute and the Junior CIA man kind of reminds me of the guy from Burn Notice.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! If you can’t see the video down below, you can also use this link:
