Without Mondays and Special Fridays

The Monday Blues are a real thing, especially when you’re coming down from being on vacation! But without Mondays, Fridays wouldn’t feel so special! I’ve got a hectic week with work to be done both for writing and in the garden. I got a jumpstart in the garden yesterday morning and managed to repot the seedlings. Today I’m catching up on e-mails and work on #4 in the Crooked Pass Security series (still untitled). Last but not least, getting things ready for taking the baby to the beach this summer! I hope he’ll enjoy the sand and the ocean. P.S. You can enjoy a taste of my neck of the Jersey Shore with ONE SUMMER NIGHT, a Publishers Weekly Top 10 romance that’s specially priced at 99 cents.

Happy Easter

I love spending time with family on Easter! It’s great to share a meal, spend time together, and watch the kids open their Easter baskets and search for the hidden Easter eggs. If you celebrate Easter, I hope you have a wonderful day!

A hopeful whim…
Or a fresh new start?

After losing her job, divorced mom and restaurant manager Taylor Hughes is hoping her fortunes will change. She’s just not expecting them to do so by way of a rare coin—the exact one she gave to her sweet summer romance almost a decade ago! Now Taylor’s returned to the Jersey Shore in search of restaurateur Nick Diamante and the coin worth millions. But going back to the island stirs up warm, vibrant memories and feelings long forgotten. And in searching for something valuable, Taylor might just have stumbled upon something truly priceless…

Choose your favorite: Rice or Pasta?

Growing up, we had rice on our dinner plates almost every night. In fact, one of my fav dinners is a fried egg on rice. My hubby and his family regularly had pasta on their plate! Today we watch our carbs and it seems like we almost always have pasta when we do eat carbs. Suffice it to say, I miss my rice. What about you? Would you prefer rice or pasta? P.S. Two chefs who know all about rice and pasta are Tony and Sara from SOUTH BEACH LOVE, my Hallmark Channel Original Movie. The novel is specially priced at 99 cents so grab your copy today at https://amzn.to/4jklFze.
