One of my favorite things to do during the summer was to walk with my grandmother and sister to the library. Another one was to wait for the bookmobile to come so I could get another book to read. I would read everything and I can’t imagine not reading. For me, books transport me to another place where I can lose myself, but they also help me find myself. I find things in the characters that I love and how they overcome adversity. I find things I might not like about myself and I wonder how I can change for the better. So my wisdom for today is from an anonymous quote: Lose yourself in a book. Find yourself there too.
#FreebieFriday – Rookie of the Year
I LOVE BASEBALL! Yes, I had to shout it because it’s so true. I love watching and I love playing! I was a catcher for my high school team and my daughter played Little League all the way until she was too old for the league. Some of my fondest memories are of watching her play and of attending baseball games with her. No wonder I decided to write a baseball series! Today I’m offering you a freebie for ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, the first book in the series. I hope to release A WINNING SEASON in the next few months. You can download your freebie at https://claims.prolificworks.com/free/j7l1p.
I’m also going to ask a little favor. If you read the book, please leave a review. It really does help authors when you do that. Thank you!
#WisdomWednesday – Keep Calm and Read a Romance
I love reading, but I love reading romances even more! I’m a hopeful romantic and no matter what mood I’m in, even a horribly bad mood, reading a romance just makes me happy.
So if you’re feeling down or feeling amazing, take a moment and read a romance to just make the day even better!
#WednesdayWisdom – A book lover never goes to bed alone
As a kid I always went to bed with a book in my hand. I just loved to read and as I got older, I realized that I also wanted to write. Today’s words are a fun play on going to bed with a book!
