#ThrowbackThursday – Some Piping Plovers
Chunks of our beach were closed off last year since the threatened piping plovers were making a comeback in our area along with seabeach amaranth. These little birds nest in the sand and their offspring are really small. I mean like tiny at first! This year there seems to be more of them and I think this is a flock on one of the jetties off the beach.
#WriteWed – A First Night in Never a Bride
Good morning! Today I have a little teaser for you from NEVER A BRIDE. In this scene, Carlo and Emma have spent the night together, but probably not in the way that both would have expected.
Teaser
Emma woke to tempting warmth and a teasing tickle against her cheek. Half asleep, she tried to smooth away whatever was causing it and encountered a wall of hard muscle and crisp chest hair. She groaned and screwed her eyes shut as memories of the night before pummeled her brain.
“You okay?” Carlo said and his deep voice rumbled through her, awakening other parts of her body.
“I am so so sorry,” she said and met his amused gaze.
“I have to confess that in all the dreams I had about our first night together – ”
“You dreamed about us being together?” she asked and her heart pounded, rushing blood to all those already alert parts.
With a half-grin, he shifted so they were face-to-face on the pillow and covered the hand she had splayed on his chest. “I never imagined our first night together or the morning after would be quite like this.”
There was no mistaking the look in his eyes and what he had expected, but that didn’t keep her from saying, “What did you imagine?”

#ManCrushMonday – Ryder Latimer from The Calling is Reborn Vampire Series
The idea for The Calling is Reborn first came to me while I was facing a deadline for another book I was writing. Despite the deadline, the heroine of the book, Diana Reyes, kept on screaming for me to write her story. I found that I had to stop writing the contracted book and sit down and do a few chapters in her story. From that moment, I also knew what kind of hero Diana would need and Ryder Latimer was born. He was the perfect counterpoint to my determined, edgy, and loyal FBI Agent. Ryder was protective, caring, patient, and so so sexy. Just the kind of man that would be impossible to resist, only Ryder wasn’t a man. He was a centuries-old vampire determined not to fall in love, especially with a human who was born to die. I hope you’ll take a moment to check out Ryder in the first book in the series, DARKNESS CALLS. You can find out more about DARKNESS CALLS at https://bit.ly/DarknessCallsCaridadPineiro.

#ThrowbackThursday – A Sign of the Times
We try to get our exercise daily by taking a walk. A week or so ago it was nice enough to do a stroll and we walked all the way to the entrance of Asbury Park. I say entrance because we could not go any farther than the casino since it and everything beyond it was closed as this sign of the times indicated.
#WriteWed – Paradise is a Library
I’ve not only been busy writing but also reading. Books were always my escape and a joy in my life. Because of that, I have to agree with Jose Luis Borges that paradise has to be some kind of library.
