#WriteWed Missing in Action & What you’d like to see on the blog!

I know I’ve been missing in action, but the start of the year has kicked my butt and I’ve been regrouping and reorganizing to get things under control. I’ve also been analyzing where I am with my writing, setting goals, thinking up new stories and thinking about doing something I’ve been wanting to do for some time: a cookbook.

I share lots of recipes with you and I am thinking about doing more recipes for you if you’d like.

I’m also really focusing on getting healthier and losing weight. I’m close to 40 pounds lost and excited about that. It’s past the halfway point of what I want to lose and I’d love to share more tips with you on that as well. If you’re game, that is.

So please let me know what you’d like to see more of on the blog (besides Man Candy. We may be on a diet, but we can still look! LOL!)

#ThrowbackThursday My Fishing Expedition

This throwback is to last week and some time I spent fishing off a dock in Florida. I caught a croaker, but the no-see-ums got me and good. I released the croaker and am now dealing with an incredible number of bug bites, but it was worth it!

Here’s another photo from last week of the lovely Jupiter Island lighthouse all done up for Christmas!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

The year is almost gone and I’m looking forward to spending some time off from work and with family and friends. I am so very grateful for all of you who come and visit and write to me! You are the best. I wish you all the best for the holidays and the New Year! I’ll be back on January 4 with Man Candy and lots more.

#ManCandyMonday Joe from ROOKIE OF THE YEAR #99cents #SportsRomance

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great day! Today’s Man Candy is Joe Fernandez from ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. I love baseball and it was such fun to write a story that gave New Jersey it’s own Major League Baseball team.

I also loved that this was a story about an older professional woman, Alicia the trainer, and how she deals with falling in love with a younger man.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR is specially priced at 99 cents until the end of this week. The sequel, A WINNING SEASON, will be out before the end of the year.

#TeaserTuesday EMBRACE THE NIGHT Military Romance

EmbracetheNightIt was difficult for me to write EMBRACE THE NIGHT. The Army hero, Zack Taylor, is a below-the-knee amputee and imagining how he would feel as he returns to civilian life was tough. I also did a good amount of research to learn about how Zack would do some of the activities he used to do before he was wounded in battle.

It was also rough to handle the heroine, Samantha Whittaker. You met Samantha in ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE and she is as wounded as Zack, but just in a different way.

In EMBRACE THE NIGHT, these two find the strength to deal with their physical and emotional wounds through the power of love. I hope you’ll check out this new novella in the TAKE A CHANCE military romance series.

I’m happy to say that this story is also part of the awesome HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO box set that’s specially priced at 99 cents and also available through Kindle Unlimited.
