12 Ornaments of My Perpetual Christmas Tree

Okay, there are only 10... but it sounded good as a title. Here are the answers: 1. leprechaun on the left from Genie Knows Best blonde mermaid in the middle = Angel from Catch of a Lifetime crystal and brass lantern lower right from Genie Knows Best 2. golfer merman. No named characters are golfers in the stories, but I have to think there's a course in Atlantis, so this could be from any of the Mer books. 3. 2 mermen in this picture. One with a cocktail in the upper left and another one on the bottom center in a red tshirt with weights. Again, could be from any of the Mer series. 4. in the center in the back is a mermaid in a shell. You have to look very closely to see it. There is also a genie bottle on a gold cord to the right of her, but the genie bottle decided to turn when I took the picture, so you can't really tell what it is. On the right upper corner is a purple and blue hummingbird butt. sigh. I know. But it's from I Dream of Genies. 5. Okay, trick q...

How about: What's ON Judi's Tree?

I have several silk trees in my house. I think they make the place look nice, especially with little white lights in them (which make great night lights), and, as opposed to real trees, these actually look good all the time for me. (I do NOT have a green thumb, unfortunately.) And the lights makes it feel like Christmas all year. I even have one in my office and, as you can see from the picture, it's a favorite hangout for my animals. Vixen insisted on being in this picture. Yes, she takes after me. :) What's nice about the tree in my office is that I have ornaments on it all year--that I've received from readers and friends to celebrate my stories. I've posted 5photos below. Let's see how many you all can find. A copy of Genie Knows Best to the person who gets the most! Bonus points for knowing which story they represent. Happy Holidays from under the sea and sands! 1. (3 in this picture) 2. (1 in here) 3. (2 in this picture) 4. (2 in this one) 5. (3 in this one...

Genie Knows Best Hits the Sands, Flying!

It’s launch week for Genie Knows Best , the second in my Bottled Magic Series. ( Magic Gone Wild comes out August 2012). I had so much fun writing this story, from Samantha gaining a backbone, to Kal—the alpha male in a beta role—to Dirham the Magical Assistance Assistant and his girlfriend Lexy, and all the other not-so-mythical beings who inhabit Izaaz, the djinn city under the desert, complete with glass ceiling and the magical island paradise of Hufaidh , my imagination ran wild. So wild, in fact, that I couldn’t put all the scenes I came up with in the book. Here’s one of my favorites that didn’t make it in, but it’s a great intro to both Kal and Dirham that I thought I’d share it here. This happens right before the opening of the book that's in print. But before I do share the outtake, I wanted to mention that the first book in the series, I Dream of Genies , is available for FREE on Kindle, Nook, iBooks and other formats, but only for a few more days. So get thee to yo...

Call Me Chicken... by Judi Fennell

Our theme for the month is Things That Go Bump In The Night, and I will admit that I am the world's biggest chicken. I loathe scary movies. I don't just hate them, but loathe them. Friends made me sit through The Fog in high school and the fact that I ended up holding this one guy's hand "to protect me" showed how terrified I was. My 11th grade boyfriend and his friend (who we were double-dating with) thought it'd be fun to take me on Cat Man's Lane (where local legend has it, a man with cat's paws, razored through the soft-top roof of a car and killed the lovers inside, then hanged himself from the Hanging Tree down around the bed--beyond the little white bridge where blood supposedly appeared occasionally) AFTER taking me to see An American Werewolf in London. Surprisingly, that relationship lasted 8 months. Go figure. Another time, I have my mom to thank for scaring the life out of me. Yeah, Mom. Another head-scratcher moment. Mom, after coming to t...
