Do You Love Guacamole or Salsa?

Every now and then, I buy a Costco chicken and use it to make meals for us. I normally get at least four different meals from one chicken, and tonight I’m going to use it to make chicken enchiladas. That makes me wonder whether I should make some guacamole to go with the enchiladas. Of course, there’s also the salsa or pico de gallo route. Which would you choose? Guacamole or pico de gallo? P.S. Chef Carlo from NEVER A BRIDE would never cheat with Costco chicken or flour tortillas for his enchiladas. He’d serve Emma the real thing made from scratch. That’s the kind of book boyfriend we all love! Grab your copy of NEVER A BRIDE at https://amzn.to/2MLZRyK.

Warming Up on a Cold Day

On the Jersey Shore, we’ve been lucky so far with our weather. It hasn’t been that cold, and in the sixties during the day. Warm enough to stroll along the boardwalk. I try to do that as much as I can before the weather gets too cold. When I get home, I like to warm up with a nice cup of tea! What about you? What’s your go-to drink to stay warm? P.S. In CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING, Sophie is really feeling the Colorado chill after years spent in Miami heat. She’d definitely grab a warm hot chocolate to chase away the chill. Well, that and handsome Colorado Bureau of Investigation agent Ryder Hunt. Grab your copy of Sophie’s story at https://amzn.to/3XkHtBr.

What’s Your Go-to Takeout Food?

I’m off to the Fall in Love with New England conference with my wonderful daughter and several friends! I’m looking forward to seeing those of you who can attend this event! While I’m gone, hubby will have to fend for himself, but he’s pretty handy in the kitchen. Every now and then, we will do takeout, although we try not to since we’re trying to eat healthier. But if we do takeout, we usually end up choosing between Chinese or Mexican food. How about you? What’s your go-to takeout food? P.S. The book signing at Fall in Love with New England is on Saturday and you can buy tickets at the door! Hope you can make it since I’ve got some specially priced Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend books for you!

All Things Spooky & Frightening

OMG, there are only 8 more days until Halloween! That means it’s that time of year for all things spooky and frightening. I’ve always loved Halloween because I love seeing how the kids and parents dress up! Unfortunately, I’m in a small town now that’s very seasonal, so I don’t get to see many kids trick-or-treating. But I also love the season because it’s time to dive into books with some bite, and I love writing about scary and otherworldly creatures like the vampires, shifters, and monsters in THE CALLING IS REBORN series. You can actually grab the first book in the series for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3J0cHKQ. If you love spicier creatures of the night, take a bite of the novellas in the Dark Seduction series at https://amzn.to/4heXbrh.

Best Halloween Candy

Best Halloween candy? For me it’s Butterfingers, hands down. I confess that I would dig through the Halloween candy and grab a few of the mini bars before we put the candy out for the trick or treaters. What about you? What do you think is the best Halloween candy? P.S. It’s time to dive into books with some bite, like the vampires, shifters, and monsters in THE CALLING IS REBORN series. You can actually grab the first book in the series for only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3J0cHKQ.

Meet Me at Fall in Love with New England

I’ll be heading off to the Fall in Love with New England Reader Conference and Book Signing this weekend with my lovely daughter! We’ll be on several panels during the Friday conference and then participating in the book signing on Saturday. Tickets are still available for both events at https://www.fallinlovenewengland.com/. I can’t wait to spend time with you at all the fun Friday events, including a murder mystery crafted by my friends and I, a romance trivia game, and a panel on writing spicy scenes you don’t want your daughter/mother to read! LOL! After a Friday night cocktail party and trick or treat, it’ll be time for the book signing from 9:30 to 5:00 pm. I hope you can make one or more of these events!
