Happy International Picnic Day

Happy International Picnic Day! I can totally picture the best friends from the AT THE SHORE series packing up a picnic lunch and taking it down to the beach for a wonderful day down the shore. If I were them, I’d pack up some fried chicken, cole slaw, and maybe some delicious cookies along with lemonade, and maybe some iced tea! What would you pick to take on your perfect picnic lunch? P.S. ONE SUMMER NIGHT, the first book in the AT THE SHORE series, is specially priced at 99 cents. Download your e-book today at https://amzn.to/3HN1rjV.

Meet K-9 Heroine Delilah

Meet K-9 Heroine Delilah! You were all so enthusiastic about having a corgi as one of the K-9 heroes, and I listened. Delilah was selected to be part of a K-9 unit, but unfortunately, it was tough to train this lovable corgi. A K-9 unit washout, she nevertheless captured the heart of hero Ryder Hunt, and much like Samson, Ryder had to have Delilah. In CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING, which releases on July 1, you’ll get to see how Ryder and Delilah help Sophie Whitaker save her kidnapped parents. Well, let’s just say that Delilah is good for some laughs in the book since her favorite thing is lying on her back, legs up, to wait for a tummy rub.

Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to my husband and my wonderful son-in-law. They both epitomize what it is to be good fathers with their dedication, love, humor, and hard work. These photos were both taken on the baby’s first day of life. Such an amazing and inspiring circle of life from my daughter in her father’s arms to her baby in his father’s arms. Looking forward to having a great Father’s Day dinner with them both!

Happy Flag Day!

Happy Flag Day on the 248th Anniversary of the adoption of the flag by the Second Continental Congress! Also, a very Happy 250th Birthday to the U.S. Army. I fly my flag every day if I can, and am proud to do so. Although Cuban by birth, I am an American by choice, and know how blessed I am to be here. God bless America, and keep her safe from those who would tear her down. God bless our military members and their families who sacrifice so much for our freedoms.

Is Friday the 13th Really Unlucky?

Is Friday the 13th really unlucky? Do you believe it’s an unlucky date? There are several explanations for why so many believe it is! Some say it has to do with the number 13, which is considered unlucky. In the last few years, my hubby has become much more conscious of all things 13 (I won’t tell him our balcony is 13 feet wide, and each of our sets of stairs has 13 steps!) According to Wikipedia, in Norse legends, it involves a dinner to which Loki was not invited. There were already 12 gods there, and when Loki arrived (#13), mayhem ensued. There were 13 people at the Last Supper, which was held on Thursday the 13th. Then there is the massacre of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th on the orders of King Philip of France! Lots of bad things, but I’m not so superstitious. How about you? P.S. Hope you have a great weekend, and if you’re in the Atlantic City area, please drop by the Aces Wild book event at the Convention Center.
