It’s Fun Friday so let’s start with a bit of animal cuteness courtesy of my hubby! Click here to catch some of the happiest moments in animal history. There are some cute ones there.
Now an apology! We did a little cover reveal yesterday (repeated for you below) and I’m told that there’s a giveaway going on until Sunday for the cover reveal. So click here for a chance to win a $15 Gift Card from Entangled Ignite!
Have a great weekend! See you all on Monday!
I’m so excited that we’ve got the covers for the upcoming Ignite romantic suspense releases.
I’m even more excited that this second release in THE REBORN Vampire novel series, TO LOVE AND SERVE, is the start of a continuing story line with FBI Agent Diana Reyes and Southern Vampire. I know you have been waiting for a long time to see more about them and I am soooo hoping that you will like what will be happening with them over the next three books!
It’s going to be romantic, suspenseful, dangerous, happy. . .so many things after all the time you’ve been waiting for them to have their grand happily-ever-after.
I wanted to honor our military and their families and the sacrifices they make. In part, that was what inspired Bobby Carrera from THE LOST. I wanted to try and show some of the struggles that our wounded vets go through when they come home. So today’s free read is from THE LOST and features Bobby as she deals with her wounds and what Adam is making her feel in so many ways.
Even after I wrote THE LOST, I felt like I could do more and because of that, I donated part of my royalties from THE CLAIMED to HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS, a non-profit group that helps wounded veterans and their families. I just got an e-mail from them about their participation in the Newman’s Own Foundation challenge. Here’s what HOPE FOR THE WARRIORS said:
So I’m helping them to meet their goal! Please take a moment to possibly offer up a donation to help by clicking here or using the widget below. Join the team or share this post to help this wonderful organization meet its goal.

You guys know my fav sport is baseball and the boys of summer are still playing! Although David Wright is my favoritest, my being a Mets fan after all, I still can appreciate other hotties on the field.
Today’s choice is JJ Hardy who currently plays for the Orioles. Kind of appropriate since I was just in Baltimore the other day. As of the end of this season, Hardy leads the MLB stats with the most home runs by a shortstop over the last three seasons!
I have to confess, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind the last couple of months what with all the new releases and blog stops, etc. So, I’m taking a bit of a break today and asking that you drop by one of this week’s blogs for some behind the scenes info and the inspiration for FOR LOVE OR VENGEANCE.
You might even catch a photo of me in my Easter bonnett at one of the stops. Remember to leave HEED THE CALL in the comments section of one of the blogs on the list below for a chance to win a REBORN T-shirt and a print copy of NOW AND ALWAYS.
Here are this week’s stops and a sneak peek at next week’s giveaway spotlight tour!
Caridad will join authors Gail Ranstrom, Annie Seaton and Naima Simone on a multi-tour giveaway with 5 prizes to win–you don’t want to miss it!

Thank you all for your support and friendship. It means the world to me!
Sometimes at the end of the work day, I need a quick pick-me-up on the train ride home and to tide me over during my workout. I try to keep things healthy and not grab something bad at the local deli and lately I’ve taken to keeping some kind of granola bar in my knapsack for that quick bite.
Of course, those quick bites can be chock full of calories also, so I try to be careful about what I grab. Because of that, the thought of making my own bars with my favorite things popped into my head and after scouring the Net, I’ve come up with this Nutty Granola Bar recipe.
1/2 cup melted Almond Butter (you can substitute peanut butter)
1/4 cup fat free condensed milk (not evaporate – condensed! The really thick sweet stuff)
4 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup honey (or agave syrup **warning** agave is way sweeter!)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts/almonds/peanuts)
1/4 dried cranberries (or raisins)
You can also mix into the above:
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9×13 pan.
Mix all of the above in a bowl. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond butter and/or condensed milk. Press the mixture into the 9×13 pan. Cook for about 25 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and let it cool a little bit. Cut out your squares or bars while it’s still hot. It’ll make it easier to get them out of there when they are cool. This will make about a dozen bars for you.
If you are lactose intolerant and can’t handle the condensed milk, substitute more almond butter and/or peanut butter for the milk. Also, if you find it’s too sweet, also substitute the nut butter for the condensed milk.
