Happy National Black Forest Cake Day

Happy National Black Forest Cake Day! What could be better than a taste of tart cherries, chocolate cake, and whipped cream? A few years ago, we actually were able to eat Black Forest Cake in the Black Forest during one of our river cruise locations. We were lucky enough to visit a living history village ???? in the Blac k Forest to see how people actually lived in this area. It was a lovely day, strolling around the village and seeing the recreations of how different tools and foods were made. I’m sharing some photos from that visit! P.S. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned Black Forest Cake in a book! LOL! But if you want to get into some summer vibes early, how about picking up ONE SUMMER NIGHT for a taste of the Jersey Shore? It’s only 99 cents at https://amzn.to/4rYU36s.

First Trip to Arkansas

We’re on a road trip to Arkansas for the Authors Rocking Little Rock book event. It’s our first time in Arkansas, and we’ve passed some beautiful areas during our road trip. Our first stop was halfway in Knoxville, TN, after a ten-hour drive from NJ. We had dinner at Barrelhouse BBQ, and it was delicious! The brisket was amazingly tender and tasty. The next morning, we were up bright and early and driving through the mountains to finally reach Little Rock. Along the way, we saw some beautiful mountain scenery and discovered that part of Tennessee was in EDT, while the other was in CDT. Weird, right? Imagine working in one time zone, but living in another! Anyway, when we reached Little Rock, we unloaded, had a little rest, and then went out to dinner. I had seen a restaurant on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and we went to Downtown Little Rock to eat at Bruno’s Little Italy. “Italian in Little Rock?” you might say. The food and ambiance were delicious. When we got back to the hotel, we set up our tables for today’s book signing. If you’re in the Little Rock area, I hope you can come to the Embassy Suites Hotel for the event. General Admission starts at noon! I’ll have my new Marauders Baseball Romance there. So exciting! P.S. You can read the Marauders baseball romances as well as several others for FREE for you on Kindle Unlimited. Grab your copies of my KU books at https://amzn.to/4ukO4Lv.

Do You Love Corned Beef & Cabbage?

Every St. Patrick’s Day, we join the Irish and have Corned Beef & Cabbage to celebrate. This year, we’re ordering it from a local pub because hubby hates the smell of cooking cabbage. I don’t mind it was much, maybe because I’m like 20% Celtic? How about you? Do you love corned beef and cabbage? P.S. Whether you love it or not, don’t miss out on picking up some books for FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Grab your copies of one of my KU books at https://amzn.to/4ukO4Lv.

Philly Flower Show 2026

Happy birthday to me! One of the ways I celebrate is to go to the Philly Flower Show with my sister! We went yesterday, and we had a lovely time. They’ve expanded the show onto one entire floor, and there were many floral displays, although I miss the HUGE garden displays they used to have. I hope that they’ll maybe bring them back, but the show was definitely improved from the year before. They also had all the vendors on the second floor, which was new. We did some fun shopping before hitting the Reading Terminal Market to get some sticky buns and Bassett’s ice cream! I hope you enjoy the photos!

Happy Lunar New Year

Happy Lunar New Year! 2026 is the year of the horse, and according to the website ChineseNewYear.net, people born under this sign are leaders who don’t give up easily and can even be reckless. They are principled people who are generally outgoing and agreeable. Because the horse is powerful and determined, they can overdo it, and so they should keep an eye on their physical, emotional, and mental health. I was born in the year of the dog, which means I am humble, courageous, helpful, and kindhearted. Pretty good, right? What about you? P.S. Besides working hard on #2 in the new K-9 division series, I have a surprise release coming up for you!! Look for it sometime in the next week or so! If you love sports romances, I think you’ll love it!
