#WriteWed – What’s Up With the At the Shore Series and Celebration Time!

Many of you have been writing to ask when #3 in the At the Shore series will be coming out! Thank you! I’m happy to say that I’ll be releasing #3, tentatively titled A SEA KISS CHRISTMAS, on November 12th just in time for the holiday season. I love Emma and Carlo’s story and I hope you will also. Plus you’ll get to meet Carlo’s sexy brothers Tomas and Paolo and I hope to do their stories sometime next year.

Next year is also going to be exciting since I’ve accepted an offer from Hallmark to do a book for them and cross your fingers that it’ll be chosen to be a movie. The tentative title of that book is SOUTH BEACH LOVE and as you can guess from the title, the book is set in South Beach and the nearby Miami area. As soon as I can tell you more, I will, but for now, look for it to possibly be out in June 2020!

I’m also working on preparing the next books in THE CALLING IS REBORN vampire novels for release. I’m hoping to get DEATH CALLS out in the next month. In the meantime, the first three books in the series are out and I’ve got them specially priced at 99 cents. Just follow this link to check them out: https://amzn.to/2WxQBFd

Also look for the re-release of my sexy paranormal Nocturne Cravings novellas, The Vampire’s Consort, Amazon Awakening, and Night of the Cougar. They are also specially priced for 99 cents at the various online retailers.

Lots of good things happening and I want to thank you all for your friendship and support! I hope all is going well with you!

#MatineeMonday – Something new and a little wine!

Starting something a little new here for Mondays – a discussion of some of my fav new and old movies and television shows! On the flight down to New Orleans for the Book Lovers Con I downloaded WINE COUNTRY from Netflix. I love Amy Poehler and Tina Fey and so this was a must try and I was not disappointed. This tale of six friends spending a celebratory weekend in Napa is funny and thought-provoking at the same time. I even re-watched it with hubby and men will also enjoy how this group of women skewers many of the things faced in middle age. Warning, there is some cursing, minor nudity, sexual references, and some drug stuff (and I so like how this resolved by the way!). So definitely check out this movie for a lighthearted and hilarious time. You can watch or download from Netflix here: http://bit.ly/2WUQlwO
P.S. – If you’re wondering who I would be in this movie, definitely the Amy Poehler character. I map out our vacations but am sure to allow for that 20 minutes of planned spontaneity. LOL!

Also – sharing some photos from my New Orleans trip below.

You can see some more at my Facebook Fan Page.

#ThrowbackThursday – Dreaming of South Beach

More soon, but for now, a collage of photos from my last South Beach trip (OMG back in 2008!)

Flower Show Visit and My Latest Project

It’s my birthday week which means Philadelphia Flower Show! Yeah! I’m heading there today and will have lots of photos to share with you soon!

Today I’m sharing before and after photos of my latest project: renovating an old park bench I’ve had forever.

Question for you. The back of the bench has a flower and hummingbird pattern. I was thinking of bringing out those elements by adding some colored lines for the flowers, birds, etc. What do you think? I’d love to know!
