Nephilim
When Sarah told me what she was naming her second book, I was a bit skeptical. I thought like most people around here. I thought Nephilim would bring to many questions that she'd have to answer over and over. For one, what does Nephilim mean?I completely changed my outlook when she showed me the cover that she had chosen.
I have been working with Sarah, as she's told you all, throughout the process of writing Nephilim. She's got more enthusiasm about this book than I've seen her have for much else. She has put her heart and soul into it. I know the story can hold itself up, but the title was a bit off for me. The cover sold it for me though. When she just said Nephilim... first of all, I didn't know exactly what she said. She had to repeat it.
The research she compiled for just that one word is astounding. Reading through the hundreds of pages, I figured out that the word Nephilim is perfect.
White roses signify honor, virtue, and innocence. Take a white rose and have a bloody knife hovering above it... you've got the ideal image for what Sarah is trying to convey within this book.
Blood Red Roses was sort of the introduction into our lives and most importantly, Sarah's mind. Nephilim jumps head-first into the deep end and doesn't let you come up for air.
Well, it's 2:40 in the morning... as Wiz said over on the Royal Family blog, Sarah will be posting on her blog as soon as she gets her coffee. I'll make sure of it.

Blood Red Roses
Long time, no post. I just wanted to congratulate my wife for completing something. She's been working non-stop on this book since July. I'm extremely proud of her. We're all proud of her.I haven't read it. For some reason everyone keeps asking me if it's good. I don't know. Knowing Sarah, it's amazing, but I don't know. I haven't read it yet. Hopefully soon I will be able to tell you guys how wonderful it is.
To purchase the book, go to her blog and there's links everywhere for it.

Love Quote #5
"We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find." - Unknown

Paris
Just enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Sarah and the kids. Sarah made some lasagna, all by herself. Sarah and Charm are playing with Tony right now. Charm's the only one of the kids that are brave enough to play with Tony. She's the most adventurous of the kids. Emmy, who's surprisingly awake, and Emma are watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The boys are with Jasper and Lucian. They took them for a walk through the gardens. The gardens were started by Sarah when she was Christine and have been continued by many of her children. It's the most beautiful garden I have ever seen and I'm not saying that because it was envisioned by Sarah. It is genuinely the most spectacular thing I have ever seen.Marcellus, Dean, and I went with Sarah when she drove around Toronto today. She is getting a lot of practice lately and hasn't killed us yet.
We're going to take the kids to see the Eiffel Tower tonight. It will be the first time for the little ones. As little as Sarah and I like the tower, the kids should see it. It is a piece of architectural history.

Interview for RingCon
Here's a video of an interview Emmett did over in Bonn, Germany while we were there for RingCon.

Emmett's Angel Wings... continued
Relationships are hard... really hard. I never thought they would be, but then again, I haven't had many "normal" relationships. I'm not exactly sure what's going on right now, but it's starting to drive me crazy. There's a lot of ducking and avoidance going on from a certain somebody. Okay, here's the deal... Jean-Claude and my engagement is off. He ended it with no explanation. It wouldn't be so uncomfortable if I didn't have to see Jean-Claude everywhere. We have had a string of meetings and we're two of the main ones so, we have to go to every one. Not to mention we have two babies that should have both of their parents. I would completely understand the whole thing if he would just tell me why he's avoiding me. My relationship with Emmett has gotten to a point where there is no negativity or chaos. It's perfect. If it weren't, I wouldn't have been so alright with Jean-Claude's breaking away. Maybe he saw how much closer Emmett and I got on our trip to Germany. I don't know. I probably won't know.Sarah posted this on her blog about an hour ago. I couldn't have said any of it better myself. I can't say that I'm not happy that my wife is not seeing anyone else. I have to agree that it's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable for all of us. I just want to support my wife no matter what she decides to do. I will do anything in my power to keep her happy and it's kind of hard when one of her close friends is abandoning her.

Thank You
I'd like to formally thank everyone for all the happy birthday wishes. Every year the love gets more intense, on both sides.
It still surprises me when my birthday comes because I get so many messages, letters, phone calls... it's baffling. I always looked at Sarah's lifestyle and thought, "I wonder what it feels like to have so much adoration and love from everyone." I think I know how it feels now.
I'd also like to thank my family. Sarah, somehow, managed to surprise me yet again with a birthday party "fit for a king". She sacrificed her own comfort to throw a three hour party. She managed to get Jasper and the rest of the guys to channel their energy into getting me out of the way while she got the entire party set up. How she did that will forever be a mystery to me.
I couldn't have asked for a better birthday. I had my family and friends with me and that's all I wanted.

Very Unexpected News
Yesterday was a very eventful day. Gweneviere, Emmett's one-time girlfriend, gave birth to their son. About three hours after she went into labor, Smoky and Doyle rushed Sarah to the clinic due to extreme pain in her abdomen. Eight hours later, Emmett had a baby boy and a baby girl. Sarah, who's last child (Patrick) was born on December 15 of last year, was told she could never have anymore children after the attack she suffered following Patrick's birth. Medically, there is no explanation of why this baby was born or even how.
Emmett and Sarah will not be on here for a while. Sarah's still recuperating, but she's doing better. I will try to keep you posted until they are back to their normal selves. - Wiz
