It’s going to be a rainy day for our Belmar Beach Reader’s Book Fair and we’re hoping that won’t keep people away from visiting with us and all the other local authors at the event. My daughter and I will be there from noon to 4 pm! The book event is being held at the beautiful Taylor Pavilion, 500 Ocean Avenue, Belmar, NJ. I hope you can join us there but if not, what will you do on a rainy Saturday? P.S. Mention that you’re a follower on my blog and social media to score an author’s copy of CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING while supplies last!
Join us at the Belmar Beach Reader’s Book Fair
I’m so excited and happy to be attending the Belmar Beach Reader’s Fair with my lovely daughter and some of our fabulous Liberty States Fiction Writers Members! The book event is on Saturday, April 26th, from noon to 4 pm at the Taylor Pavilion, 500 Ocean Avenue, Belmar, NJ. There will be many authors there who have a wide variety of books, including children’s books. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you! P.S. I’ll have several of my books there, and you might be able to score an author’s copy of CLIFFSIDE KIDNAPPING!

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 Birthday, Danny!
Today is a very special day! No, it’s not because it’s Tax Day. Only the IRS celebrates that! Today I want to wish a very Happy Birthday to my wonderful son-in-law. We were blessed when he joined our family! He’s a great guy, caring and fun dad, great punster, and a loving husband. Wishing you all the best on your birthday! Are there any other April 15h birthdays out there? Share so we can celebrate with you!

Beautiful National Gardening Day
Oh, what a beautiful morning, Oh, what a beautiful day! Why? Because it’s National Gardening Day! I can’t wait to get my hands in the ground and plant all those seedlings that I’m carefully growing in my garage. Soon I’ll be able to harden them off with a few hours of sun in the cold frame and before you know it, they’ll be going into the ground. I’ve got about six or seven different kinds of tomatoes, two different kinds of peppers, more lettuce (some are already in and giving us salad!), and some flowers as well. This year I’m going to try and grow lots of zinnias, but I’ll be looking for other good companion plants come Mother’s Day! What about you? I know I have lots of garden lovers out there!

Happy No Housework Day
Now this is one day I can get behind: It’s National No Housework Day. If you ask my hubby, that’s nothing unusual with me which is so not true. While I don’t do the laundry, vacuuming or heavy cleaning, I do almost all the shopping, cooking, after-dinner clean-up and all the building and garden chores. I think that’s a fair deal, don’t you? P.S. If you want to escape to the Jersey Shore instead of doing housework, ONE SUMMER NIGHT is specially priced at 99 cents. Grab your copy today at https://amzn.to/4iVDa8V.

Awesome April Vibes
What do I love about April? How about the warmer temps, longer days, and that perfect springtime energy? I just love being able to be outside more with all that extra sunshine. And I love being in the garden, seeing all the spring green that says things are coming back to life again. Plus it means summer is on the way! What about you? What do you love about April?
