Live to Love on the Edge Blog

There’s a cute new song making the rounds that has inspired countless parodies, from Colin Powell to Jimmy Fallon and now, the Cookie Monster! So here goes with the Sesame Street take on CALL ME, MAYBE.

If you can’t see the video below, you can click here.

The original song actually features romance novels! Yeah. I did some research and it seems like the books used were SKYLAR’S OUTLAW by Linda Warren and the other one seems to be LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT by B.J. Daniels. What do you think?

Thank you!! Gwen you so totally rock. You are wonderfully comfortable onscreen and I hope this becomes a permanent gig for you. Thank you again for including THE CLAIMED on the show.

For those who are wondering about the “Romeo and Juliet meets the Jersey Shore” comment, no there is no Snookie in this book. Just nooky, LOL! This is a sexy paranormal romance set on the REAL Jersey Shore. The two fighting factions are energy gatherers who can take power from others and nature to gain power. With that power they can shapeshift and do lots of other cool things.

We had such a wonderful time this weekend at the Turn the Page Bookstore signing. It was so wonderful to meet the other authors and catch up with old friends. Plus, I brought my daughter and her friend and it was nice to have a girls’ weekend and spend some time together.

Many thanks to all the fans and friends who came out in the blistering heat for the event. You truly rock!

Also many thanks to Janeen, the manager, and her wonderful staff for running such a great event. Thanks to Nora and Bruce for inviting me! Also thanks to Ellen, Tom, Patti and all the wonderful staff at the Inn for making us feel so welcome.

Got some photos for you! If you can’t see the slideshow below, you can click here.

There is something about the 4th of July along the Jersey Shore that just screams “America” to me. The parade with both the crowd and parade people in their red, white and blue. The carefree glee of the kids as they dash to pick up the candy being tossed from the various parade vehicles. Feeling your heart swell as the band plays “It’s a Grand Ol’ Flag” or our veterans go buy and the crowd cheers for them. People huddled on the sand, waiting anxiously for that first boom and flash of light as the fireworks start.

All-American to me. I guess that’s why I love it so much! I hope you’ll enjoy seeing the photos as well down below. If you can’t see the photos, you can click here to see them.

Here is one of my favorites – people illuminated along the beach by the light from the fireworks. It was kind of eerie to see, especially as the smoke from the fireworks built up and created a kind of haze along the beachfront.

Join me today for the Cocked & Loaded blog hop & giveaway being run by the fabulous Ronda Queen Tutt! I had the pleasure of meeting Ronda at a conference and she rocks! Plus, God Bless her and her family for their service to our country.

Just leave a message of support for our soldiers on this blog for a chance to win a copy of NOCTURNAL WHISPERS and AMAZON AWAKENING.

Also, please remember that I will be be donating a portion of my royalties from THE CLAIMED to HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS. Please take a moment to visit the SOS ALOHA Blog and share this information with others! Here is a little bit more about this project.

In THE LOST, I remembered them by having the heroine, Bobbie Carrera, be a wounded Marine veteran. I also dedicated the book to our military women, men and families.

For THE CLAIMED, I knew I had to do something more. Because of that desire to do more, a portion of my royalties for sales of my paranormal romance THE CLAIMED will be donated to HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS, an organization that seeks to enhance the quality of life for U.S. service members and their families who have been adversely affected by injuries or death in the line of duty. Also, if you’re one of the first fifty (50) to e-mail me with a proof of purchase of THE CLAIMED or proof of a donation to HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS, I’ll send you either a HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS pin or tote bag along with other swag.
