Budweiser | Super Bowl LIX 'First Delivery'

Despite not being a beer drinker, I'm undeniably in love with the Budweiser Clydesdales. And once again my heart opened 💓 seeing the 2025 Superbowl Commercial. https://youtu.be/K0iKgJXy_gk?si=RQxvX2TeyS6C-ZT0 #budweiser #clydesdales #superbowlcommercial #superbowl2025 #clydesdalefoal

A BLIZZARD was announced, a cold front, a snow storm! We have to expect at least 3 - 5...?...?...wait for it...inches!

My face fell: 🤷‍♀️. Ah. And where's the reason for panic?

Seriously? Where I come from not even 3 - 5 FEET are a reason for emergency procedures! Switzerland has Winters so cold, even the frost needs a jacket!

Switzerland has fresh snow so high, we send out search committees to find the snow plows! Swiss farmers don't need to store cheese meat, cream, eggs, and other dairy products in extra storage buildings. They just throw the stuff outside, the snow does the rest.

Happy Snow Flakes, Friends!

The Council of Twelve A - Z / S for Simael

When it comes to writing, with six published books and the seventh in the series in line, I sometimes feel a little bit like I need to keep things in my books a secret, fearfully protecting my stories because I could give away too much to the ones who haven’t read ‘The Council of Twelve’ series yet. But aren’t the background stories, the little details ‘behind the scenes’ the interesting part of…

Soul Taker Secrets: A Winter Family Council Casserole

It’s no secret that Katie and her co-consorts regularly cook for the Council of Twelve members. Teddy generously committed the following recipe to Simin. When she asked where he got it from, he mysteriously smiled. “I’ve lived many lives, Darlin’, ” he said and winked. With his index finger, he knocked on his front tooth and seemed to try to remember. Finally, he threw his arms into the air.…

USA Pen Press: The Ghostwriting Scam of a Thousand Websites - Written By Victoria StraussFor Writer Beware

Well, not actually a thousand. But a lot. It’s been a little while since I’ve written about ghostwriting scams (previous posts include the markers that identify ghostwriting scams and the scams’ misappropriation of the Amazon name and trademarks)…but given how prevalent they are, and their increasing aggressiveness in advertising, especially on Facebook and other social media, it seemed like a…

The symptoms and feelings are the same as the emotions, consequences, suffering, and pain. Everything is the same… Healthline.com describes the well-known symptoms on their website: Formal symptoms of depression include: low mood, including sadness, hopelessness,…

The Sobering Truth About Action At Court

I have informed you earlier on different occasions that I am working on my second criminal story. In order to complete the story, I wanted to include the entire courtroom process! The serious feel of a full load of concrete hard justice raining down on the murderer so the accused can feel what they have done and what the consequences are. Of course, I don’t know how things are in a murder trial,…

Best of Writer Beware: 2024 in Review - Written By Victoria Strauss

Hard to believe another year has rolled around–it seems like five minutes ago I was preparing this annual overview for 2023. As always, it’s been a busy year of writing scams, publisher implosions, exploitative contract terms, and more. A UNIVERSE OF WRITING SCAMS An Influx of Impersonators As in the past few years, impersonation scams were among the most frequent types of fraud reported to…

Turning A Bad Character Into A Good One And Vice-Versa

When you’re writing a fantasy series like ‘The Council of Twelve’ series, with recurring characters, as well as introducing new ones, there will be one time when one of the good characters might go bad, or a bad character can become good. What is easier to manage? I’d like to compare: In ‘Bounty Hunter‘, book #4 in the series, Rapha Golden, a demonic ‘Shadow’ defected to the other side, which in…
