Galentine’s or Valentines?

Happy Galentine’s Day! My family and I are big Parks & Rec fans, and I love Leslie Knope’s ever-optimistic view on life. I have many female friends and totally value their friendship and spending time with them! But I don’t normally celebrate Galentine’s Day, unlike Valentine’s Day, when hubby and I are going out to dinner for Thai food. It’s not something we normally do, which makes it a special treat. What about you? Do you celebrate Galentine’s Day, or is Valentine’s Day the big celebration for you? P.S. If you love Galentine’s Day and stories about female friendship, ONE SUMMER NIGHT may just be the book for you. It’s the first book in the At the Shore series, which features three friends on the Jersey Shore and how they deal with the loves in their lives. ONE SUMMER NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents.

This or That: Print Books or Audiobooks?

So much has changed in the publishing industry since my first book was published in 1999. Wow! So long ago. We’re lucky to have so many choices on how to read, from print books to e-books to audiobooks. I confess I still love having a print book in my hand. I’ll open an e-book only if I don’t have a print book or am unexpectedly waiting for something. I’m a very visual person, so audiobooks are not my thing, although I love listening to a good podcast while I’m driving. How about you? Do you like print books or audiobooks? P.S. If you love audiobooks, many of my books are available in that format. Check them out at https://amzn.to/4qxZlVM, including my new Crooked Pass Security series.

Happy National Pizza Day

Happy National Pizza Day! I love pizza, and even though we’re trying to watch our carbs, we had pizza on Friday. It was Jersey Shore-style pizza, which means it was quite thin. It’s become our new fav since we downsized and moved to the shore. When I was in school in Philly, the pizza was doughier and not generally sold by the slice, unlike the New York-style pizza I grew up with. What about you? Do you love pizza? Does your area have a unique style of pizza? P.S. If you want to escape the cold, how about a trip down to the Everglades? You can get away by grabbing ESCAPE THE EVERGLADES, which is now specially priced at $3.99. Download your copy today at https://amzn.to/3N9L83e.

Favorite Winter Comfort Food

We’re seeing new and dare I say, historic low temps along the Jersey Shore! I don’t think I remember cold like this in a long time, which means it’s time to make something warm and stick-to-your-ribs for dinner. Today I’m making braised short ribs with cheese grits, but normally, my favorite winter comfort food is soup. Any kind of soup. It could be tomato soup out of the can or a homemade bean, ham, and greens soup! What about you? What’s your favorite winter comfort food? P.S. If you need some heat, take a trip down to Miami and a racehorse stable being threatened by a former trainer! Even better, it’s only 1.99 for SABOTAGE OPERATION.
