Maggie Berkley's Blog (14)

My son just had a birthday.

Seventeen years old. Almost a grown man. Six foot five and handsome. He has a girlfriend now. They’re serious for a couple that have been together for only six months and it’s almost sickening yet cute at the same time how they coo and ahh at each other, calling one another sweet heart and…

I have a secret.

It’s not mind boggling or whisper worthy but to me its something that is mine…a secret fantasy, or others might call it, an alter ego. You see, I’m an a kick ass beautiful assassin who men lust over and fear. I walk the streets with confidence, meeting the eyes of passerbys with a haughty smirk, knowing that if I…

Hi, just like to give myself a quick introduction. My name is Maggie Berkley and I’m a wife, mother and writer. What I wanted to blog about today is first loves. I’ve been married so long now (20 years this year) and its hard to remember the feelings and what-dos that go on during first loves but I get the pleasure (and worry) of seeing it through my son.…

   I’m sure everyone has heard this question a time or two but I can’t help asking it again. What is sexy? Is it the physical or the mental? Is it a muscle bound man with the face of an Adonis or a skinny nerd who’s willing to listen when you need an ear? Colin Farrell or Colin Hanks? Bad boy or good guy? So many different descriptions and ideas it just about makes your head spin.…

Years ago my husband and I were bombarded by businesses asking for donations and well, he decided to respond to one in the most unusual manner. Actually I thought it was funny and so I’m posting it for you to read. I was to the Humane Society and to be honest they had a sense of humor about it. In return we actually sent them a check. Here is the response to the letter sent by ‘Little Bit’, a shelter pet.

Dear Little…

I watched that movie the other day and as always I cried during the part when Julia Stiles’s character Kat read her poem in class, declaring why she hates Heath Ledger’s character Patrick. It reminded me so much why I hate love stories, hate the idea of romance and hate falling in love for it invites another person into your emotions and gives them the ability to see your vunerabilities. No body enjoys the idea of another person having that type of control over them,…

I was challenged by a friend named Kristy to do the Write or Die challenge. For those of you who do not know what it is, its a site where you have a certain about of time to write as much words during a certain about of time, 30, 60 to 90 minutes. We did the 60 minute challenge and though I lost (I came in second, nah, nah Franny! LOL) I wrote a cute little story in honor of my husband. I called it the Ogre. I read it to him and he thought it was cute. Hope you enjoy…

Today is a many splendid thing (pauses to ponder such a weird thing coming from my mouth then shrugs). The sun is hidden somewhere behind the greying clouds that threaten to drop water as soon as I step forth from my house. I wonder if I race to my car if I’ll make it before I get drenched then figure..eh. Nothing I really want to do outside my own home at the moment. Instead I debate reading a book or cleaning out the garage… Continue

Slowly, with deliberate, elegant steps, Asras made her way down to the deepest part of her Realm, noting that the farther she went, the darker it got. After finding the hidden door way in her private chambers earlier that morning she had wanted to explore, curious as to where it lead, but instead she had to wait until after her meeting. Not too long ago the Nine Lords and Ladies of her…

Glorious colors followed wherever she went, flower to flower, smelling their perfume and tasting their sweet nectar. Humming she went, glancing at the field around her. Violets, pinks, blues, reds and yellows, a whole rainbow of flowers for her alone.

A breeze came, lifting her high into the air, taking her away from home. Free she is, happy to live, for only a few…

I see him.

Sitting on an ebony stallion, motionless as a statue.

Dark…Cold.

A warrior strong.

I feel his strength from where I stand.

Power radiating.

Enclosed in armor.

Black.

Breast plate, greaves, boots and gauntlets. Black leather covers his legs.

His face is hidden.

A full, black helm covers his head. Coarse black horse hair and ribbons…

Just starting this blog thing and it should be interesting since I’m not good at keeping things up regularly. I have a blog on my myspace and a few other places and only post when I actually remember. Seems my brain is a bit like a sieve, things go in but tend to drain out quickly.

Well, I’m a writer and the things I write tend to be what I enjoy reading…action, paranormal, dark urban fantasy with a touch of romance. I’m currently having fun with… Continue
