I can’t say this enough, but one of the best things about being a writer is getting to meet all of you. I love going to conferences and events and getting to spend time with you. It’s totally awesome. I love hearing from you on the comments and in e-mails.
So this Write Wednesday, all I’ve got is a big THANK YOU! for your support. THANK YOU for taking the time to reach out to me. THANK YOU for the reviews because they really really really do help.
As some of you may know, I’ve been trying to lose weight and be healthier. I’ve made some lifestyle changes to do that and have lost 30 pounds. Some of the changes are probably obvious, but I’ll share them anyway along with some links for you on this Tuesday Tip day!
I drink more water! Water fills you up. It helps your liver process toxins from your body and first thing in the a.m., it wakes up your metabolism from a long night of rest. Click here for more info on how drinking water can help you!
I walk more and I exercise every day in one way or another. I try to hit the gym for cardio exercise at least twice a week and then do strength training twice a week. As we get older, it’s important to improve our core strength and stay strong to do everyday tasks. Click here for info on the muscles to work on for core strength and a quick core workout.
If you want, you can friend me on Fitbit and challenge me to a workout! I love challenges.
I’ve stopped using artificial sweeteners and only have sugar in my first cup of coffee. I’ve also limited myself to two diet sodas a day. Rough for me, but I know they are not healthy. Here’s a good article from the Mayo Clinic explaining the different sweeteners and possible concerns with them.
Finally, I’ve been researching ways to boost my metabolism to help burn calories. At work I’ve got a little kitchen timer that dings regularly to remind me to get up and move. I’ve started doing intervals on the elliptical and even while I’m walking, changing the pace to increase my metabolic rate. Click here for more tips on things you can do to boost your metabolism and burn calories just by doing some pretty simple things.
Hope you enjoyed today’s Tuesday Tip!

On another note, congrats to the Kansas City Royals and their fans. You truly earned the right to be called World Series Champs.

All I ask is that you leave an honest review of the book. Here is a little blurb for it.
Alicia Santos knows she shouldn’t be tempted by the team’s new rookie catcher. . .
But Joe Fernandez isn’t just your average baseball player. He’s a potential rookie of the year with amazing skills on the field. Smart, sexy and determined, he’s fought hard for everything in his life and Alicia appreciates that kind of focus. But she’s older and wiser, or so she thinks, until Joe sets his sights on winning her over off the field. . .
Joe Fernandez has never backed down from a challenge . . .
Especially when it’s a woman like his team’s beautiful trainer. He doesn’t mind that she’s older or stubbornly refusing to give into her attraction for him. He’s a patient man and little by little he wears away her resistance.
Nights spent together are glorious and forbidden . . .
Alicia and Joe work hard to keep their personal and professional lives apart to avoid problems on the baseball field. When a career-ending injury threatens their newfound love, Alicia and Joe must find the strength to rebuild Joe’s body and restore balance to their lives.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
Since Halloween is just days away I thought I’d share a picture of me and my daughter on her first Halloween. She was a little mummy for her mummy! LOL. My daughter was just three months old in this photo.

I love baseball and I loved being able to write some books with baseball player heroes. The first book, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, is now available at various retailers. The second book, A WINNING SEASON, will be out in November! So exciting!
ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is, as you may guess from the title, the story of Joe Fernandez, a young rookie on a fictional NJ expansion baseball team. Joe is a hot shot catcher who is attracted to the team’s female trainer. Besides the issues with the two of them working together, the trainer, Alicia Santos, is a number of years older. The age difference bothers Alicia a lot, but not Joe. He’s determined to find out more about the sexy trainer and prove to her that he’s interested in something more permanent than a one night stand.
