#ManCandyMonday A Double Treat Taye Diggs & Ian Anthony Dale

I caught a promo for Murder in the First and it intrigued me. So far, I’m enjoying it. Caution, though. It is very violent at times, but the intersecting story lines are very interesting as are the characters.

Two of the heroes are police officer and are today’s Man Candy: Taye Diggs and Ian Anthony Dale.

You may know Taye Diggs from RENT and a number of other movies and shows. Ian Anthony Dale first caught my eye in Hawaii Five-O. So enjoy today’s double dose of Man Candy!

You keepin' up?#mitf#breakoffaPeace

#Fitness Friday Tips for Getting More Fit & Healthy

I’m always striving to be healthier and to find ways to get more fit. Since I try to keep up on news about such things, I’d thought I’d share them with you in a new Friday segment – Fitness Friday!

Check out these articles on various aspects of being more fit and healthy.

3 Steps to Avoid Junk Food Cravings: http://bit.ly/1IK9XYw
Calories count more than fat or carbs: http://reut.rs/1L8NPKW
Don’t Fear the Scale – Why you don’t have to fear weighing yourself every day: http://cnn.it/1IK8O36
Fighting Office Body – Move more to improve your health & Posture: http://yhoo.it/1IK7Eoe
High Protein Breakfasts May Help Prevent Fat Gain: http://bit.ly/1IK9BRs
How to Stay Motivated in your Fitness Regimen: http://bit.ly/1IKad9Z

Now I have to say one thing about the article on the types of calories not mattering as much as the calories themselves. I’ve been using my Fitbit and religiously tracking what I eat and how active I am. When I eat the same number of calories, but include “bad carbs” such as bread, crackers, cookies and pasta, I not only gain weight immediately, but I experience belly bloat and other things. I’m not saying you all will experience the same thing, but you need to listen to your body and what it’s telling you about the food you’re eating.

Speaking of Fitbit, if you want to become a pal and cheer me on while I cheer you on, you can friend me at https://www.fitbit.com/user/3GZT48.

#WriteWed August Funk & Smell the Roses

What is it about August that has so many people in a funk? Is it that summer is almost over and we’re dreading certain things? Back to school? Although I always loved going back to school, but I know some don’t.

I’ve been in an August funk and I think I know the reasons why, but that doesn’t make it easier. Although I did see a sign on a local church the other day that I’m going to seriously take to heart and I’m going to share that with you today.

If you’re not happy with the things you have now, what makes you think you’ll be happier with more?

And I think you can think of those “things” as other than material things. I think one of my issues is that I’m a Type A personality and always striving to do more, but then what? When I reach “more” where do I go from there?

Anyway, I’m working through it and trying to change my mindset about some things, like the end of summer. And writing. And work. And getting fit.

It’s time to stop and appreciate the now and stop charging ahead to the future because the now disappears way too quickly! Like that old adage says, Stop and smell the roses!

#TeaserTuesday Fight the Shadows #RomanticSuspense

FIGHT THE SHADOWS Romantic suspenseFIGHT THE SHADOWS is part of the Shadow Ops Kindle World by CJ Lyons. CJ has created an amazing concept around the Special Threats Response Team, a group of heroes who go in when no other agency can or will go in. The head of this unique team is Rose Prospero and she is an absolutely fascinating woman. Her second-in-command is Billy Price and he couldn’t be more different from Rose. The one thing they have in common: Their desire to protect their country from harm.

This teaser is from the start of FIGHT THE SHADOWS and you meet Rose and Billy. I loved exploring what’s happening with these characters, but also introducing my own two characters, National Guardsman Patricia Morales and former Marine Rick Sanchez, as new members of the STR team.

#ManCandyMonday In search of the older hero

When I wrote TO CATCH HER MAN, I knew that the heroine’s mother, Virginia, needed a story of her own. In fact, the original version of the book had a lot more scenes in which Virginia meets sexy Pablo Amenabar, but they were deleted during the editing process.

Despite that, I loved giving Virginia a little bit of romance in that book and I do plan to eventually write her story as well as finish off Adriana and Juliana’s stories. Maybe when I have more writing time.

My question for you today, on Man Candy Monday, is: Would you like to see a story with an older hero and heroine? A “mom-lit” story with forty and fiftyish characters?

For now, here is how I pictured Pablo and Virginia!

2 Ingredient Ice Cream #FoodieFriday

It’s hard to believe. I know. I find it hard to believe as well, but the recipe says that all you need are two ingredients and 12 hours to have homemade ice cream. I am definitely going to have to try this one. Maybe add some mix-ins like crushed Oreos, a Heath Bar or Butterfinger bar. Maybe some strawberries or mango.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
1 14 oz can condensed milk

Directions

Whip heavy cream into stiff peaks and then fold in condensed milk.

If you want to do any mix-ins, add them now. Place in airtight container and freeze for 12 hours. That’s it. The consistency of this ice cream will be more like gelato I understand, but I can’t wait to try this!
