Do you plan it or wing it?

Do you plan it or wing it? My husband teases that when we go on vacation, I plan our ten minutes of spontaneity. LOL. But I am usually a planner. Even with my writing, I plan now, although I used to be a pantser. What about you? Do you plan things or wing them? P.S. Siblings Sophie and Robbie Whitaker are definitely opposites that way. Sophie plans while Robbie acts on the fly. They are the hero and heroine of the first two books in the Crooked Pass Security series. Grab your copies today at https://amzn.to/45YmV73.

Expect nothing, appreciate everything

Sunday thought for the day: Expect nothing, appreciate everything. I’ve always believed in being grateful for what I have and appreciating it. As for expecting things, I’m a firm believer in working for what I want. Of course, it’s hard to carry that attitude over to my daughter and grandbaby because I would like them to have anything they want. But I know my daughter doesn’t expect to be given anything, and I know that she works hard for what she wants. Just some thoughts for one of the last Sundays of summer.

Is a Hamburger a Sandwich?

It’s an age-old question. Is a hamburger a sandwich? Same goes for a hot dog? If we say that a sandwich is meat, cheese, or some other filling between two pieces of bread, I think a hamburger is a sandwich. What about you? P.S. Nothing to do with hamburgers or sandwiches, except that Robbie in DEFENDED BY THE BODYGUARD is a bottomless pit when it comes to food. LOL!

Goodbye, Old Friend

Goodbye, old friend! Twenty-five years ago, I bought a Sebring Convertible, and over the years, it’s been a happy part of my life, bringing many joyous memories. Driving my daughter and her friends with the top down. A road trip to Florida. Taking part in a few Ocean Grove July 4th parades to support my daughter’s surf and skate shop. Cruising on the open road, top down, radio blasting. Unfortunately, twenty-five years took their toll on my baby. This past Saturday, we traded her in. But before we did that, my daughter and I took a final drive, top down, radio blasting! When we arrived at the dealer, we did a last photo of us with my old friend. Thank you for so many wonderful years and memories! P.S. Connie, the too responsible, too workaholic heroine of WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER, can’t resist a drive in the hero’s convertible supercar.

What do you wish you had known…

With kids heading back to school, I have to ask: What’s the one thing that you wish you had known when you were back in school? I was always by-the-book, listen to what the teacher says, kind of kid. We taught my daughter to be the same way. In retrospect, I wish I had known that I should question things I was being told by some teachers. I was lucky to have a mom who taught me to think for myself and I did it often. Today it’s more important than ever to do your own research to understand what is happening. What about you? What do you wish you had known? P.S. One person who knows how to understand what’s happening even when it defies logic is FBI Agent Diana Reyes. She’s determined, tortured, and kick a**, but she will work doggedly to get to the truth. I think you’ll love her! Pick up DARKNESS CALLS, the first book in my vampire suspense series, for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/47DGHWF.

Libby Tanner

Happy World Photography Day! I’m Libby Tanner and I’m delighted to sneak into Caridad’s blog today, as photographers all over the world celebrate the magic of seeing the world through a camera lens. Juliet Evans, star of my debut novel Better Than Gelato, has always dreamed of a career in photography. But she’s destined to take over the family dry cleaning business. Will a year in Italy change the trajectory of her life forever? And will she fall in love with the adorkable research intern who’s trying to sweep her off her feet? The answer to both of those questions is YES! If you want to read all about her adventures, check out BETTER THAN GELATO on audiobook, e-book, or paperback. And in the meantime, what is the best photo you’ve taken this summer? I managed to snap a pic of my 9-year-old just as he leaped out of a tree into a lake, and it might be my favorite of the summer.
