			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Every Saturday we post a time and place prompt together with a verb,  an                   adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write  something  using     the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve                created your story either share it as a comment at the end   of        this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little   exposure  to   your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the               blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog      then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution           with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                        Once you have added your name to the list grab  the       linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an    identical     list  will     then   appear   on   your     site     enabling readers  to    hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>Gobi Desert, 3099; bomb, powerful, brightly, solar flare</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Every Saturday we post a time and place prompt together with a verb, an                   adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write something  using     the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve               created your story either share it as a comment at the end  of        this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little  exposure  to   your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the              blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog     then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution          with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                       Once you have added your name to the list grab the       linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an   identical     list  will     then   appear   on   your     site    enabling readers  to    hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>Siberia, 2013; flower, sparkling, seldom, summer</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Each week we post a time and place prompt together with a verb, an                  adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write something using     the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve              created your story either share it as a comment at the end of        this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little exposure  to   your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the             blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog    then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution         with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                      Once you have added your name to the list grab the      linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an  identical     list  will     then   appear   on   your     site   enabling readers  to    hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>Moon Garden, 2199; glow, cloistered, rarely, bloom</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Each week we post a time and place prompt together with a verb, an                 adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write something using    the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve             created your story either share it as a comment at the end of       this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little exposure to   your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the            blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog   then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution        with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                     Once you have added your name to the list grab the     linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an identical     list  will     then   appear   on   your     site  enabling readers  to    hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>Hades, 2099; escape, defeated, mortally, angel</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p>We have much pleasure in <strong><a href="http://www.1888pressrelease.com/virtual-writers-inc-announces-angella-graff-s-the-judas-k-pr-468136.html" target="_blank">announcing</a></strong> <strong>The Judas Kiss Virtual Book Tour</strong>,     beginning Monday April 29th and continuing through to midnight on  Saturday May 11th, 2013 . This well-received urban fantasy has garnered  some wonderful reviews:  <em>“The different tales, switching points of  view, and Makabi&#8217;s written tale was superbly handled. I was taken with  how real she made every single one of those historical settings. I know  I&#8217;ve said it before, but it was truly incredible how so very real she  made everyone, particularly in Makabi&#8217;s gospel. Nothing was stilted or  stylized, and everyone was so beautifully human. If for no other reason,  read The Judas Kiss for those chapters. No matter your creed (or  absence of one), you can read this for the flavor, the richness, and the  genuine passion and pain in Makabi&#8217;s voice. It lends an ocean of depth  to Mark&#8217;s character. Being unable to ever go insane, given what he&#8217;s  lived through, is a version of hell made all the more tangible when he  makes his childhood &#8211;so long ago&#8211; *that* real for the reader.” Delena  Silverfox</em></p>
<p>As well as attending all tour stops, Angella will be doing a one-hour     Tweetup with us, where she will share some of her writing secrets  and    publishing tips on Twitter.

<p><strong>Judas&#8217; Kiss</strong> haunts him 2 millennia into his unending existence. Torn between petty  gods and their hunger for power, a faithless police officer slips  further into machinations that have already cost the life of someone he  loved. Mark&#8217;s story finally begins to unfold in the newest volume of  Angella Graff&#8217;s well received series: The Judas Curse.</p>
<p>Just as  Detective Ben Stanford is ready to put the past at rest, he&#8217;s pulled  down once again into the chaos of gods, theology, and mystery. Told that  his sister is alive and the two immortals, Mark and Judas, have been  kidnapped by the treacherous goddess, Nike, Ben must find a way to  rescue the pair before she can harness their powers.</p>
<p>While Mark  waits alone, forced to write out the story of how their powers came to  be, and Judas lay tortured by the angry Goddess, a reluctant Ben must  enlist the help of an unwilling being from the ancient Norse Pantheon.</p>
<p>Time  is ticking, and the hard-headed detective must use everything he  learned in the past to prevent another disaster, which could potentially  wipe-out the human race.</p>

She married  and became a mother very young, and after getting started with her  family, began her University studies where she found her passion for  creative writing, history and theology.</p>
<p>She now resides in Tucson  with her husband Joshua, three children, Christian, Isabella and Adia,  and their three cats, Archive (Ivy), Lasciel and Fix. She prefers to  spend her days writing, gardening, and reading non-fiction theology  theory books. Angella is also an avid, if not fanatic fan of Doctor Who  and BBC Sherlock, which tend to dominate her dry, sarcastic humor, a lot  of which is apparent in her writing.</p>
<p>Currently Angella is working  on an Urban Fantasy series called The Judas Curse, involving extensive  research into Mythos, Christianity and history. The first book of The  Judas Curse, The Awakening, was released November 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Each week we post a time and place prompt together with a verb, an                adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write something using   the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve            created your story either share it as a comment at the end of      this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little exposure to  your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the           blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog  then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution       with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                    Once you have added your name to the list grab the    linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an identical    list  will     then   appear   on   your     site  enabling readers to    hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>Hastings, 1066; march, obedient, mortally, drum</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“SicLit” (sic = goad, egg on, drive, encourage, prod, spur, provoke ) <span> </span>is a brand new prompt challenge for writers.</p>
<p>Each week we post a time and place prompt together with a verb, an               adjective, an adverb and a noun. You write something using  the         words    as    inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When you’ve           created your story either share it as a comment at the end of     this      post or join our blog hop and bring a little exposure to your    own     site.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To join the          blog hop simply publish your piece      on your  own    blog then      come     back and   post a link to your  contribution      with   the      linky      below (<strong>be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url)</strong>.                   Once you have added your name to the list grab the   linky      code     and       paste  it into your post – an identical   list  will     then   appear   on   your     site  enabling readers to   hop  from blog  to    blog.</p>
<p>Try to use all prompt words within your story. <em>Go, sic ‘em!</em></p>
<p>This week’s “SicLit” prompts are:</p>
<h2>London Eye, 2013; hang, wide-eyed, coolly, kiss</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p>We have much pleasure in announcing the <strong>Cassandra by Starlight Virtual Book Tour</strong>,   beginning Saturday April 20th and continuing through to midnight on   Wednesday May 1st, 2013 . The romance/suspense novel set in London has been incredibly well-received and has garnered some wonderful reviews: <em>“Cassandra by Starlight” is a   beautifully written romance novel that  will keep you reading until the   end. Between the twists, turns, ups and  downs of the well written  plot,  Susan Mac Nicol keeps her characters  realistic in her debut  novel. I  fell in love with this story and  recommend it to all romance  fans.”</em><strong> </strong>My Cozie Corner</p>
<p>As well as attending all tour stops, Susan will be doing a one-hour   Tweetup with us, where she will share some of her writing secrets and   publishing tips on Twitter.

<p>But  Bennett Saville, up and coming star of theatre and film and filthy rich  to boot, was one such man. From the tips of his shiny Armani loafers to  the auburn curls on his head, he turns Cassie’s world upside down. From  their initial tragic meeting to the dangers that threaten them both as  their relationship grows more intense, Cassie finds herself a willing  participant in Bennett’s world. She learns about a life in show business  and living with a man who is constantly on show to the world – not to  mention having to face the fact that women throw themselves at him with  regular abandon.</p></div>
<p>Cassie embraces the challenges as only she  can, in her usual feisty fashion, lending humour and compassion to their  developing relationship. And when violence and fear comes calling for  them both, it takes the two of them to hold the dangers at bay and face  the events together.</p>

<h1>About Susan Mac Nicol</h1>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1815" href="http://virtualwritersworld.virtualwritersinc.com/2011/04/windlight-settings-milk-wood-misty-morn/1686-revision-22/"><img class="alignright" title="Sue" src="http://authoressentials.virtualwritersinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Sue.jpg" alt="" width="310" height="287" /></a>Susan  Mac Nicol was born in Leeds, UK, and left for South Africa when she was  eight. She returned to the UK thirty years later and now lives in  Essex. Her debut novel “Cassandra by Starlight”, the first in a trilogy,  has recently been published by Boroughs Group Publishing in the US.</p>
<p>Sue  has written since she was very young, and never thought she would see  herself being a Romance writer, being a horror/psychological thriller  reader all her life. But the Romance genre is now something very close  to her heart and she intends continuing the trend.</p>
