#ManCandyMonday #AttheShore Eduardo Varestegui

I’m one of those authors who does not put up pictures of their characters to have visual confirmation of their looks. Funny because I am a very visual person normally. So the character is always formed in my brain first and when I’m asked to provide photos for the publisher’s art department, I have to start searching for people who look most like the characters in my books.

This weekend I was channel surfing and came across the second Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie. I love Kevin James and decided to give it a go and who was in it but Latin hottie Eduardo Varestegui. Eduardo has been in a number of telenovelas as well as English language movies like Chasing Papi and more recently, Little Boy, which was produced by a production company in which Eduardo is a founder and partner.

I kind of think Eduardo could play Owen Pierce from One Summer Night. Love the dark wavy hair and light eyes (I am a sucker for those!). It kind of matches Owen’s nearly black hair and silvery charcoal grey eyes.

#FitnessFriday Walking for Physical and Mental Health

Besides the shower, I get some of my best ideas while walking and on top of that, walking is a great way to stay fit and lose weight. I shoot for at least 12K steps a day, but usually average more like 17K. If you want to join me on my walking journey, be my friend on Fitbit: http://fitbit.link/2wdmwL9.

#ThrowbackThursday RWA 2017 in Orlando, Florida

Today’s throwback is not all that long a toss since I’m going back to last week and the RWA conference in Orlando, Florida. Sharing some photos of my friends, workshops, fireworks and other fun things!

#WriteWed I am inspired by all of you . . . and #Giveaway to say Thanks!

Thank you for the friendship and inspiration!

First of all, sorry for the delay in posting, but it’s taken me two days to catch up with work and writing obligations after my trip to RWA 2017. I had a blast, despite the Orlando heat and humidity. I got to spend time with old and dear friends, make new friends, and of course, get in a number of very interesting and useful workshops to help me be a better writer. A win-win situation!

Here’s a collage I did of some of the fun people I got to meet and spend time with at the conference. I will have a lot more photos for you to tomorrow!

#ThrowbackThursday Mr. Met and Me!

A year that promised to be so much turned into an injury-prone nightmare for us Mets fans and the team. It’s hard to believe just how many players went out with serious injuries almost before the season got started. Oh well. There is always next year!

So here I am with Mr. Met. He was at one of local bank branches and I couldn’t resist getting a photo with him. I hope Mrs. Met doesn’t get jealous.
